Abbas Speaks of "Occupation" Since Israel's Creation in 1948, Not Just Since '67 War
(Palestinian Media Watch) Itamar Marcus - PA Chairman Abbas, speaking on Oct. 28 to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, denounced what he called the Israeli "occupation" of "67 years" - that is, since Israel's creation in 1948. "For how long will this protracted Israeli occupation of our land last? After 67 years (i.e., Israel's creation), how long?" He refers to "holy sites which have been desecrated every other second again and again for seven decades now." The PA routinely teaches its children that all of Israel is an "occupation" that will end some day. Last week the PA Security Forces presented on their Facebook page a description of Israeli cities Ashkelon, Haifa and Acre as "occupied." Similarly, a post this week on the official Fatah Facebook page showed a map of "Palestine" that includes all of Israel.
