      History according to Hamas: Tel Aviv was Arab City


      A new Hamas television show for children teaches that Tel Aviv was an Arab city called Tel Al-Rabi before Jews took it over. The city actually was founded by Jews in 1909 outside the former Arab-dominated city of Yafo.

      In the video clip, translated by The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), the grandfather of a bunny says, "We used to live in the most beautiful place in Palestine…. This place was called Tel Al-Rabi, but the Zionists and Jews Hebraicized the name to Tel Aviv…. I have documents and proof. I have all the papers here. The documents are right here with me…. [The Jews] invented all these names. Ashdod is, in fact, Isdud. Ashkelon is, in fact, Al-Majdal."
