Both UN & The PA: No Support For Any 2 State Solution

De-Legitimization 

1. Israel’s Jewish citizens are considered foreign colonialists: “We will think and discuss: I will compare the tragedy of the Indians, America’s original inhabitants, to the tragedy of the Palestinian people.” 

(Social Studies, Grade 8, Part 2 (2020) p. 34) 

2. The country’s Jewish history is denied, including the existence of archaeological items proving that:  “…[The conqueror has built for himself an artificial entity that derives its identity and the legitimacy of its existence from tales, legends and phantasies and has tried in various ways and means to create live material evidence for these legends, or archaeological architectural proofs that would determine their truth and authenticity, but in vain.”]

(Arabic Language – Academic Path, Grade 10, Part 2 (2020) p. 68) 

3. Existence of Jewish holy places in the country is denied, including the Western Wall in Jerusalem. A photograph has been cropped in a way that would “hide” the Jews who pray there:​

​“Al-Buraq Wall”​

“The Al-Buraq Wall has been named after Al-Buraq [the divine beast] that carried the Messenger [of God, i.e., Muhammad] during the Nocturnal Journey [from Mecca to Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, according to Islamic belief] and the Ascension [to Heaven]. The Al-Buraq Wall is part of the western wall of Al-Aqsa Mosque. Al-Aqsa Mosque, including the wall, is Palestinian land and an exclusive right of the Muslims.” ​

​(Islamic Education, Grade 5, Part 1 (2020) p. 63) 

4. Having been considered foreign settlers, Jews in the country are not counted as legitimate inhabitants and the cities they built there, including Tel Aviv, are absent from maps in the texts used in PA schools. The PA school map here, titled “Map of Palestine”, does not show any Jewish city, except the southern city of Eilat that appears under its Arabic name, desolate place where it was later built – “Umm al-Rashrash”.
