Itamar Marcus<\/a> – February 9, 2022<\/p>\n If you want to know what is really at the heart of the Palestinian conflict with Israel, don\u2019t ask the politicians or the diplomats. Go to the real experts:\u00a0Palestinian children<\/a>. Unlike the rest of the world, they\u2019ve been paying close attention to what their leaders and educators have been teaching them \u2014 and they\u2019re already signing their lessons in blood.<\/p>\n For years, children interviewed on state TV<\/a> have been echoing the messages they\u2019ve been taught by the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Fatah: that Israel has no right to exist, and that their goal \u2014 for which they are anxious to sacrifice their lives \u2014 is Israel\u2019s destruction.<\/p>\n Twelve-year-old Abd, who lives in a refugee camp just outside the PA capital of Ramallah, explained his life goals on PA TV<\/a>: \u201cThe Jews stole our land from us and I have been waiting 12 years already\u2026 and my grandfather has been waiting 70 years. \u2026 I hope to return to Lod, my city \u2026 I feel that tomorrow I will return and liberate Palestine. \u2026 Every day, every minute, and every year I imagine that I\u2019m in Lod\u2026\u201d (PA TV, November 3, 2020 and May 23, 2021) Lod is an Israeli city not far from Tel Aviv. The child lives near Ramallah, but Lod, he says, is \u201cmy city.\u201d<\/p>\n Surprising? Not if you\u2019ve been following the PA education of its children.<\/p>\n Palestinian children are indoctrinated to believe that they are victims of Israel\u2019s existence from birth (\u201cI have been waiting 12 years already\u201d). The PA Ministry of Education recently included a giant map of \u201cPalestine\u201d that erased all of Israel in an event at a PA school. The words on the poster<\/a> were explicit: \u201cPalestine \u2014 the entire land is ours, from the [Mediterranean] Sea to the [Jordan] River.\u201d (Facebook, PA Ministry of Education, November 16, 2021)<\/p>\n What about Israel\u2019s right to exist? That is non-existent in the PA child\u2019s world. Palestinian children are taught that Israelis are \u201cforeigners who came from all ends of the earth, foreigners who did not know Palestine and did not live in it \u2014 neither them nor their fathers and forefathers.\u201d<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.algemeiner.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Itamar Marcus – February 9, 2022 If you want to know what is really at the heart of the Palestinian conflict with Israel, don\u2019t ask the politicians or the diplomats.
