Israeli-Arab on PA TV: Jaffa, Haifa, Acre are Palestinian; “We want a single-state solution” 
Source: Official Palestinian Authority TV, Jan. 14, 2014
Official PA TV’s A View from Inside program discussed the suggestion of a population exchange where areas of present day Israel populated predominantly by Arabs would become part of the Palestinian state once an agreement is reached, while areas populated predominantly by Jews in the West Bank would remain Israeli. The question was raised why Israeli Arabs oppose such a plan. Guests on the program included University Lecturer Yusuf Jabarin and Raja Aghbariyya representing “Children of the Land” on the Supreme Council of the Arab Community in the Palestinian Interior (i.e., the State of Israel). This is an independent organization made up of Israeli Arabs who consider themselves Palestinians.
Raja Aghbariyya: “The idea of a population exchange with the settlers is unacceptable… Now you know, we as Children of the Land, I want the borders of Palestine to reach the Mediterranean Sea; I want all of Palestine. This is my land. Jaffa is Palestinian land; Haifa is Palestinian land; Acre is Palestinian land, and you can keep going up. We want a single-state solution.”

and send regards to the sea of Acre and Haifa.
Don't forget Nazareth - the Arab fortress,
and tell Beit Shean about its people's return.
Oh flying bird, circling around...

Oh flying bird, circling around...

"Palestine" replaces Israel - PA depicts a world without Israel


The Palestinian Authority makes no attempt to educate its people towards peace and coexistence with Israel. On the contrary, from every possible platform it repeatedly rejects Israel's right to exist, presents the conflict as a religious battle for Islam, depicts the establishment of Israel as an act of imperialism, and perpetuates a picture of the Middle East, both verbally and visually, in which Israel does not exist at all. Israel's destruction is said to be both inevitable and a Palestinian obligation.

The following description of Israel's founding in a Palestinian schoolbook represents the dominant dogma about Israel:

"Palestine’s war ended with a catastrophe that is unprecedented in history, when the Zionist gangs stole Palestine … and established the so-called State of Israel."
[Arabic Language, Analysis, Literature and Criticism, grade 12, p. 104]
This official PA map of "Palestine” was broadcast on PA TV in September 2011. The map includes both the PA areas and all of Israel (excluding the Golan Heights) wrapped in the Palestinian flag - a symbol of Palestinian sovereignty over the whole area - and has a key through it, symbolizing ownership. Similar maps presenting all of Israel as "Palestine" appear in Palestinian schoolbooks and are shown regularly on PA TV.
"Palestine" replaces Israel
The Palestinian Authority paints a picture - both verbally and visually - of a world in which Israel does not exist. Children’s educational TV teaches that Palestine currently is a "state" (Arabic "dawla" = state) covering 27,000 sq. km - i.e., an area that includes all of Israel (the entire West Bank and Gaza Strip total only 6220 sq. km). Moreover, all Israel’s cities and infrastructure are referred to as "Palestinian": “Palestinian ports ... [are] Haifa, Jaffa, Ashkelon, Eilat, Ashdod, and Gaza". [PA TV (Fatah), Sept. 1 2008].


Maps provide visual reinforcement for this perception: Israel does not exist on any map; its area is marked as "Palestine." Maps showing the entire area of Israel covered with the Palestinian flag are routinely displayed at official PA events.

This educational documentary, depicting all parts of Israel as “Palestine," has been broadcast repeatedly on PA TV (Fatah) from 2007 – Oct 1, 2010:

“The West Bank and Gaza have another section in Palestine which is the Palestinian coast that spreads along the [Mediterranean] sea, from …Ashkelon in the south up to Haifa, in the Carmel Mountains. Haifa is a well-known Palestinian port. [Haifa] enjoyed a respected status among Arabs and Palestinians especially before it fell to the ‘occupation’ [Israel] in 1948. To its north, we find Acre. East of Acre, we reach a city with history and importance, the city of Tiberias, near a famous lake, the lake of Tiberias [Kinneret- sea of Galilee]. Jaffa, an ancient coastal city, is the bride of the sea, and Palestine’s gateway to the world.”




The falsely named Palestinian people, can't even enjoy a crossword without being brainwashed with false information.

YouTube blocks PMW video that exposes Fatah publicizing threats to kidnap, kill, and bomb Israelis by terror organization Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades - the military wing of Fatah





YouTube did not remove this same video
from Fatah's YouTube account
where it continues to incite to murder

Once again, YouTube has decided to block one of Palestinian Media Watch's videos. Recently, PMW exposed that Fatah, on its official Facebook Page, publicized threats to kidnap, kill, and bomb Israelis by terror organization Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades - the military wing of Fatah. 

The following are excerpts from the Fatah video:


"Bombard them with your fire and shoot them... Praise Allah, our Jihad fighters have managed to develop these rockets so they will reach the Zionist depth [Israel]... We in the Al-Aqsa Brigades are preparing to kidnap Zionist soldiers to settle accounts with the Zionist enemy... Be like Yasser [Arafat] - do not fear them. Death is in your cup - make them drink... With these rockets we will crush the Zionist enemy."
[Facebook, "Fatah - The Main Page," Nov. 17, 2013]


Click to view English version of video


Now, YouTube has decided to block PMW's Hebrew version of this video, claiming the video violates YouTube's "policy on depiction of harmful activities."

The irony is that while YouTube removed the video from PMW's YouTube account - where PMW exposed the incitement to murder - YouTube has not removed it from the Fatah Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades account in Arabic. It still remains on Fatah's YouTube account, where it is intended as incitement to murder.


Click to view the original Fatah video.


PMW does not promote or engage in "harmful activities," but exposes PA and Fatah hate speech, promotion of violence and glorification of terrorists in order to bring about its elimination.




Sadly, this is not the first time PMW's documentation has been impeded by YouTube. In the past, PMW videos have been blocked and PMW's YouTube account has been closed down.

This happened when PMW exposed hate speech voiced by the PA Mufti, who preached that the destiny of Muslims is tokill Jews, and again recently when PMW exposed a PA TV broadcast of a young girl reciting a poem referring to Jews as "Allah's enemies, the sons of pigs," who "murdered children," "cut off their limbs," "raped the women in the city squares" and "defiled Allah's book."

Thanks to some of PMW's readers who contacted YouTube, PMW videos and accounts were later unblocked each time.

Once again, PMW has requested that YouTube return the video. PMW has no direct line of contact with YouTube administrators, other than their standard appeal option on their website. Therefore, we ask anyone who has contacts at YouTube to please help encourage YouTube to make our video accessible again

Abbas decorates terror leader Abu Jihad with Star of Honor: "He was themodel of a true fighter and devoted leader"



Abu Jihad was responsible for murder of 125 Israelis

Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has granted a post-mortem honor to arch-terrorist Abu Jihad, who was responsible for the murder of at least 125 Israelis in numerous terror attacks that he planned, including a bus hijacking in 1978, in which 37 civilians were murdered.

Official PA TV News reported that Abbas, in order "to honor the founding leaders and the first generation of the Palestinian revolution and the PLO, and out of loyalty to their history of struggle," chose to decorate Abu Jihad with "the highest order of the Star of Honor."


At the ceremony, Abbas handed the award to Abu Jihad's wife. Secretary-General of the Presidential Office Tayeb Abd Al-Rahim read aloud the "decree" signed by Abbas, calling terrorist Abu Jihad "the model of a true fighter and devoted leader," and praising him for "his honorable national role":

"Abu Jihad shall be granted the highest order of the Star of Honor in recognition of his honorable national role and his history of struggle as one of the founding leaders of the Palestinian revolution, and out of great appreciation for his high position and significance in the defense of Palestine as a country, a nation, and a cause. He was the model of a true fighter and devoted leader [and] through his commitment and contribution he left his mark on the history of the Palestinian revolution and the PLO."
 
See below (1)

Palestinian Media Watch reported in July 2013 that Abbas decorated another terroristleader with the Star of Honor. The recipient was Nayef Hawatmeh, the leader of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP). The DFLP carried out many deadly terror attacks in the 1970s and has also participated in and claimed responsibility for dozens of other terror attacks, including a suicide bombing near Tel Aviv that killed 4 people in 2003.

Former PA PM Salam Fayyad was also among this year's recipients of the Star of Honor.

The glorification of arch-terrorist Abu Jihad is a long-standing PA and Fatah policy. Every year in April, the anniversary of Abu Jihad's death is marked with numerous events and ceremonies held in his honor.

This year, PMW reported that the official PA news agency WAFA lauded Abu Jihad as a killer of 125, listing all the terror attacks he planned and directed, specifying the number of murdered:

"Abu Jihad was killed by the Israeli Mossad in Tunisia on April 16, 1988... and was crowned the Prince of the Martyrs of Palestine... Among the military operations planned by Abu Jihad: the explosion at the Zohar reservoir in 1955; the operation to blow up the Israeli National Water Carrier in 1965; the operation at the Savoy Hotel in Tel Aviv, which killed 10 Israelis, in 1975; the blowing up of a truck bomb in Jerusalem in 1975; the killing of Albert Levi, the senior sapper, and his assistant, in Nablus in 1976; the Dalal Mughrabi operation (i.e., bus hijacking), in which more than 37 Israelis were killed, in 1978; the shelling of the Eilat Port in 1979; the Katyusha fire on the northern settlements [in Israel] in 1981..."
[WAFA and Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, April 16, 2013]

At a Fatah event in January this year, Abbas praised Abu Jihad and other terrorists who killed hundreds as "the blessed Martyrs" and "the leaders of all the fighting forces":

"We renew the promise to our blessed Martyrs, that we will follow the path of the Martyr Brother Yasser Arafat and his comrades among the leaders of all the fighting forces, all the Martyrs. Among them, I mention Martyr Abu Jihad..."
 

Private organizations also follow the lead of the PA and glorify terrorist Abu Jihad, such as sports organizations that name their activities and tournaments after him. This year the Palestinian Association for Martial Arts held "its first Prince of Martyrs [Abu Jihad] festival" and the Palestinian Boxing Association held "The Martyr Abu Jihad Tournament."

The following is the report on official PA TV News on Abbas' decoration of terrorist Abu Jihad with the Star of Honor:


PA TV newsreader: "As part of President [Abbas]' desire to honor the founding leaders and the first generation of the Palestinian revolution and the PLO, and out of loyalty to their history of struggle, the President - with a number of Fatah Central Committee members - awarded the highest order of the Star of Honor to the Martyr leader Khalil Al-Wazir, Abu Jihad...The award was accepted by [his wife] Mrs. Um Jihad and family."

Secretary-General of the Presidential Office Tayeb Abd Al-Rahim: "As President of Palestine and Chairman of the PLO Executive Committee, by the authority vested in us, and for the public good, we have decreed the following: Paragraph One: Martyr leader Khalil Al-Wazir Abu Jihad shall be granted the highest order of the Star of Honor
in recognition of his honorable national role and his history of struggle as one of the founding leaders of the Palestinian revolution, and out of great appreciation for his high position and significance in the defense of Palestine as a country, a nation, and a cause. He was the model of a true fighter and devoted leader [and] through his commitment and contribution he left his mark on the history of the Palestinian revolution and the PLO...

IDF Soldier’s Murder was Ordered from Prison


Terrorist sent coded message via official PA TV
about his plan to kidnap a soldier as a hostage
to force his terrorist brother's release
from prison:

Coded message on PA TV:


"The calf (i.e., Israeli soldier) will soon be in the cage,


and we'll celebrate the freedom of all prisoners."


Four months later, he kidnapped and murdered
soldier Tomer Hazan


jail3



In September 2013, Israeli soldier Tomer Hazan was kidnapped and murdered by terrorist Nidal Amar.

According to the indictment submitted last week, the murderer's brother, Nour Al-Din Amar, who is already imprisoned in Israel for terrorist activity, had asked his brother Nidal to kidnap an Israeli soldier and hold him hostage in order to secure Nour Al-Din's release. The indictment stated that the murderer, Nidal Amar, passed a coded message to his brother in prison prior to the murder via official Palestinian Authority TV, informing him of his intention to kidnap a soldier for use in negotiating the brother's release.
Palestinian Media Watch checked its recordings of the PA TV program For You, which regularly broadcasts greetings from Palestinians to security prisoners in Israeli prisons, and has indeed found the coded message. During a broadcast in May 2013, the host read a letter from Nidal to his imprisoned brother, in which he indicated in code his plan to kidnap a soldier:
"The calf will soon be in the cage,
and we'll celebrate the freedom of all prisoners."
 


Four months later, terrorist Nidal Amar kidnapped and murdered Israeli soldier Tomer Hazan. The terrorist was captured a few days later before he could carry out his plan to hold the soldier's body as ransom for his brother's release.

The following is the excerpt from official PA TV:

PA TV host: "Before we end, we have greetings for Nour Al-Din Amar from his brother Abu Wasim [Nidal Amar] and from the family. They say to you that they are well, and that your mother is healthy again. They tell you that 'the calf will soon be in the cage, and we'll celebrate the freedom of all prisoners.'"
