That's a lot of crap.
She says that israeli children don't have any other source of information except textbooks, which is even more than a lot of crap. What about news on tv, or talking to parents, or even listening to adults talk about current events? Does she really think that children live in pink bubbles outside school?
She's talking about schoolbooks, but the images are from newspapers (which also makes her previous point moot, since she claims those newspapers images have a negative impact on children).
She's talking about maps, but she doesn't say that the map with the blank area represents the percentage of arab population inside Israel, which makes any mention of populations outside Israel irrelevant.
After she's done thundering against the racism behind the white color supposedly used to dehumanize the palestinians, she tries to score some more points showing a totally blank map of - wait for it - the state of Israel. Well, you have to give it to those zionists, so keen to dehumanize that they don't even spare themselves! Here goes another of Peled's arguments down the drain...
Kept watching until the quite expected logical fallacy called reductio ad hitlerum, right after the "stores are not allowed to sell it" shit. Stores didn't have the book she wanted because it didn't sell anymore. Tough, that. No, really, why shouldn't stores keep lots and lots of stuff nobody needs and nobody buys anymore? Cruel racist world...
Breaking news: arabs, including West Bank residents, are everywhere in Israel, schools included. They simply can't be ignored.

It is an interesting video but I'll take her expertise with a grain of salt.
Try the Dead Sea, though I doubt there's enough salt there.
