During Ramadan, official Palestinian Authority TV held quizzes that reinforced the P.A.’s vision of a world without Israel.

According to a report by Palestinian Media Watch, the shows presented all of Israel as “Palestine.”

The PLO Department of Refugee Affairs rewarded the contestants for answering questions with 20 Jordanian dinars (around $28).

TV host: “What borders Palestine from the four directions?”

Man: “From the west is the Mediterranean Sea.” Host: “Nice.” Man: “From the east is the Jordan [River].” Host: “Right.” Man: “From the north is Lebanon.” Host: “And from the south?” Man: “From the south is the Gulf of Aqaba.” Host: “Correct answer. You won 20 dinars.”

In another episode, PMW documented that Israel’s Mount Meron was classified as “the highest mountain in Palestine.”

“Will I have the opportunity on Rosh Hashanah to have a quiet Rosh Hashanah? Our enemies don’t rest,” Yechiel Leiter told JNS.
“Those who act against Israel will have no foothold in the region,” stated Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar.
“I’m an immigrant from the former Soviet Union, so antisemitism is why I’m here in the first place,” the mother told JNS. “To see it out in full effect in the daylight is awful.”
Ambassador Tom Barrack clarified his comments regarding Israeli control of the strategic plateau after drawing rebukes from Jerusalem and Capitol Hill.
