Of the 36 parties participating in the Palestinian Authority’s May 22 parliamentary elections, 11 have logos featuring a map of “Palestine” that completely erases the State of Israel.

These include the two dominant Palestinian political movements, P.A. leader Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah faction, and Hamas, the terrorist group that controls the Gaza Strip.

Fatah’s logo also includes two rifles and a grenade.

The following are some of the parties and their logos:

“Yet another example of the U.N.’s institutional bias against Israel,” said the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations.
“The reason we lost is the war,” the U.S. vice president wrote. “If you’d like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next six years was worth it, then do so” but “that’s at least honest.”
