UN Body Supports Anti-Israel Map

A key United Nations agency has lent its support to a Palestinian Authority Ministry of Tourism map that completely obliterates Israel, CNSNEWS.com reported. The new map credits the United Nations Development Program with helping in its publication. The map, called “Palestine, The Holy Land,” shows the whole of present-day Israel, including Judea, Samaria, and Gaza – and calls the entire area “Palestine.” There is no reference to Israel.

Itamar Marcus, director of the independent media monitoring group Palestinian Media Watch, said that the map was nothing new. “None of the official PA maps show Israel,” he said, including those printed in PA school textbooks. He also mentioned that anti-Israel film clips, partially funded by the UN, were routinely screened on Palestinian television.

More and more Israeli political leaders have been making public statements blaming the PA’s incitement for much of the recent violence.
