For a third time PA TV has broadcast a Fatah event held in the presence of Mahmoud Abbas and many other senior PA officials, at which a Palestinian singer defined all of Israel as Palestinian. He sings that “my land” and “our coast” span from Rosh Hanikra in Israel’s north to Rafah in the Gaza Strip in the South, and from Haifa on Israel’s Western coast to Beit Shean on Israel’s Eastern border. It was broadcast on Feb. 27, May 12, and now again on May 27, 2011.
Contrary to the PA leaders’ claim that they recognize Israel’s right to exist, their controlled TV and cultural events continue to reinforce the PA message of non-recognition of Israel by depicting all of Israel as “Palestine.”
The Fatah members filling the large auditorium are shown clapping enthusiastically to the song.
