GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Israel consolidated its hold on parts of the Gaza Strip on Monday, seizing high-rise buildings on the outskirts of the territory’s biggest city as a stream of world leaders headed for the region to press for a truce.

At least seven Palestinian children were killed, adding to the growing toll of civilian deaths that has caused international outrage.

As the bruising campaign against Gaza’s Hamas rulers entered its 10th day, the group continued to pummel southern Israel with rockets.

Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak said the offensive would continue until Israel achieved “peace and tranquility” for residents of southern Israel. Hamas fighters, defying the attacks, fired more than two dozen rockets by midday, and Hamas’ strongman urged Palestinians to “crush” the invading Israeli forces and target Israeli civilians.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who unsuccessfully proposed a two-day truce before the ground offensive began, was due to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who lost control of Gaza to Hamas in June 2007.

PA TV children’s quiz:
Teaching about
a world without Israel
By Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook, Sept. 3, 2008

Palestinian children are taught through formal and informal education to see a world in which the state of “Palestine” exists and replaces all of Israel. A children’s quiz broadcast this week on Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority television shows how thoroughly Palestinian children have absorbed this message.

Children on the TV program routinely identified every Israeli city and landmark as part of the State of “Palestine.” Haifa, Ashdod and Eilat are described as Palestinian ports, the Sea of Galilee is said to be a Palestinian lake, and the area of the Palestinian state is said to be 27,000 square kilometers. In fact, the total area of Gaza and the West Bank totals 6,200 square kilometers, so the only way to come up with the larger measurement is to include undisputed Israeli territory in the calculation. The “State of Palestine” is said to border Lebanon and the Red Sea; in fact, these are Israel’s borders.

In an unsettling reminder of the 2007 Hamas children’s TV program that used a Mickey Mouse character to preach hatred and world Islamic domination, the child host of this week’s PATV (Fatah) program is sitting in front of a photo of Mickey Mouse.

Following is a link to a clip from the program:

The world view of these Palestinian children is a direct result of their formal education, which teaches them to envision a world without Israel.

The following are examples from PA schoolbooks, which teach children to imagine a world without Israel:

“Coastal states differ in terms of their access to water sources, such as…: states located on sea coasts with accesses to two seas, for example: Palestine and Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.”
[Physical Geography and Human Geography, Grade 12, p. 105]

”Palestine has a long coast facing the Mediterranean sea and a short coast on the Gulf of Aqaba.”
[Health and Environment Studies, Grade 8 (2003), p. 130, the Israeli city of Eilat is on the Gulf of Eilat (Aqaba) - Ed.]

“… The Tiberias Lake [Sea of Galilee], in Palestine”
[Physical Geography, Grade 5, p. 25]

I actually refuse to believe that anyone is that dumb Russia is NWO 2
I believe either you are an israeli or a sympathiser full of hatred

I am not going to waste anymore time with you, you scum, filth and one the day comes when it’s your turn, we will see how you’re going to react.

You think the globalists give a s**** about a jew, muslim, christian? every human being is indispensable as far as the globalist is concerned, Israel is the globalist’s toy, when their plan is completed, they will turn against jews, christians, muslims, atheists, you name it.

And I bet you being so dumb you will be amongst the first.

Well why am I wasting my breath on soulless creatures like you.

Seriously, this is not a pro-israeli site bro. Pack your garbage and b.s and ship out. There are plenty of site that bash palestinian children, so go there.

I followed your link and looked at the video, there is nothing wrong witht the answers, because technically the area is also known to be palestinian based on History. The Jews are not the only people to occupy this land.

If you ask an indian kid about Canada, which is derived from Kanata, he will answer you to.

Piss off.
