Special for World Children’s Day: How does the Palestinian Authority indoctrinate children?

The article "Special for World Children’s Day: How does the Palestinian Authority indoctrinate children?" presents three main arguments:

1. Glorification of Terrorists as Heroes:The Palestinian Authority (PA) portrays terrorists, including those responsible for deadly attacks, as role models for children. Through school activities, posters, and educational events, these individuals are celebrated as brave heroes and martyrs, encouraging children to emulate their actions and sacrifice for "the homeland."

2. Denial of Israel’s Right to Exist:The PA indoctrinates children with the belief that Israel has no legitimacy, presenting all of Israel as "occupied Palestine." Maps in educational materials and events systematically erase Israel, depicting the entire area as Palestinian land to be liberated, reinforcing this message among young Palestinians.

3. Promotion of the "Right of Return" and Militant Ideology:The PA instills the concept of the "right of return" into children, symbolized through images of keys and maps. Activities frequently depict armed struggle, with imagery of rifles and keffiyeh patterns, conveying that violence and steadfastness are necessary to reclaim Palestinian land.

These arguments highlight the PA's systematic use of education and media to instill hostility toward Israel, glorify violence, and perpetuate its political narrative in the next generation.
