Arafat's Real Map

While talking about the imaginary Israeli map at a press conference in Geneva, Arafat wore another map sewn on his sleeve - the map that is part of the PLO official emblem. Arafat always wears this map on his uniform. It is also the symbol which appears on PLO stationary, including the official copies of Arafat's speech distributed in Geneva. In fact, it is the map which appears on the official emblem of all PLO factions. Arafat's Map

That map shows the borders of the intended "State of Palestine ", revealing the PLO's intentions to replace the entire State of Israel, including Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem, and not only the administered areas of Judea, Samaria and Gaza.

The PLO Method - The Big Lie

It is an illustration of a propaganda method practiced repeatedly by Arafat - the bigger the lie and the more often it is repeated, the more people will be misled. Against the Big Lie there is only one defense - the Truth.
