Calls for liberating "Palestine" have been reverberating among the various Palestinian political factions for decades.
Hamas actively pursues Israel's destruction, but how does the Palestinian Authority (PA) differ from the terrorist organization?
A recent Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) report
highlights the PA's continued efforts to propagate the Palestinian
refugees' "right of return" within Israel. This narrative is perpetuated
at the core of PA schools and is clearly disseminated throughout
history, civics, and Arabic language textbooks. For example, MEMRI
points to a fourth grade textbook, which says, "Four and a half million
Palestinians live in the diaspora outside Palestine… Most are refugees
waiting to return to the motherland, from which they were expelled."
Other examples start as early as second grade and run throughout
primary school textbooks. By subjecting children to continuous
propaganda regarding an eventual "return" to Israeli cities like Haifa
and Jaffa, the PA is clearly indoctrinating future generations on the
virtues of a one-state solution. In that scenario, Palestinians would
outnumber Israelis stripping Jews of a homeland.
This tactic is part of the broader strategy of subjugating younger
generations of Palestinians to propaganda that glorifies terrorists and
advocates for violent jihad for the purposes of destroying the Jewish
state.
The Palestinian culture of death
has been exposed in various forms throughout the years. Among the more
notorious examples was a children's television program that featured a
Mickey Mouse knockoff calling for martyrdom and violence against Jews.
Moreover, MEMRI reports that the PA continues to praise terrorists
such as Dalal Al-Mughrabi, commemorating the anniversary of a terrorist
attack which killed 35 Israelis and injured dozens of civilians. Former
and current PA officials continue to glorify such atrocities,
describing Mughrabi as an inspirational figure and role model.
Furthermore, PA President Mahmoud Abbas recently claimed
that there is "no difference between [the PA's] policies and those of
Hamas." Based on the PA's educational curriculum, media dissemination,
and terrorist glorification, the international community must look
behind the PA's doublespeak before pressuring Israel to make further
concessions.
