PMW director quoted in article about Paris museum exhibit on Palestinian suicide bombers
|
June 11, 2013
-
Jewish Tribune
"A Paris museum has drawn outrage from France’s Jewish community over a display depicting photos of Palestinian suicide bombers as martyrs.... Itamar Marcus, director of Palestinian Media Watch, explained that the 'greatest motivation for terror is glorifying the terrorists, adopting their ideologies, and honouring them as freedom fighters. It is this success of terror that breeds more terrorists. The blood of many civilians…will be on the hands of the Jeu De Paume Museum and those who embrace terror around the world, who are convincing future suicide bombers that their murderous deaths will have purpose.'"

Commentary article uses PMW documentation to show Palestinian intentions regarding peace
|
June 3, 2013

Commentary Magazine.com
"How can Israel possibly make peace with people who consider its very existence 'illegal and null and void?' Nor has anything much changed in 49 years, as anyone who follows Palestinian Media Watch would know. Just last month, for instance, another senior PA official widely considered a “moderate” in the West, Jibril Rajoub, told a television interviewer, 'We as yet don’t have a nuke, but I swear that if we had a nuke, we’d have used it [against Israel] this very morning.' PA officials and the official PA media still consistently deny the Jews’ historical connection to the land of Israel, teach their people that the ultimate goal is a world without Israel, and glorify those who murder Jews."

International Business Times on PMW bulletin about UNRWA

-
International Business Times
"On Monday, the director of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees was photographed with a map titled 'Arab Palestine.' [...] But in a statement released on Tuesday, the UNRWA rejected what they called 'baseless allegations of erasing Israel from the map.' Palestinian Media Watch, which originally reported on the picture... [said] in a statement on Friday, “UNRWA spokesperson [Christopher] Gunness' justification that the map ‘depict[s] a pre-1948 map’ is baseless, as the map includes the PLO-PA [Palestinian Liberation Organization -- Palestinian Authority] flag and not a British flag.”

"The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) launched a German-funded project in southern Lebanon where the area's Director of UNRWA Affairs, Ann Dismorr, posed with a map devoid of any trace of the State of Israel, instead presenting it as a map of 'Palestine.' Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) captured the UN representatives' egregious actions and noted that above the map is the Palestinian flag and the inscription: 'Arab Palestine.' The text at the bottom of the map also reads just 'Palestine.'"

"Jibril Rajoub, a senior Palestinian Authority official who is frequently characterized as a 'moderate' in both the Western and Israeli media, said on Lebanese television that if the Palestinians had a nuclear weapon they would have nuked Israel 'this morning.'

Rajoub also posted the video clip to his own Facebook page, according to PMW."

"In a telling example of just how genuine, or, rather, how false, Israel's peace partners in the Palestinian Authority are, a monument that replaces the entirety of the land of Israel with a State of Palestine was hastily removed from Bethlehem before US President Barack Obama visited a little over a week ago... The monument switch was revealed by Palestinian Media Watch, which cited a Palestinian newspaper report showing that local Bethlehem residents were not pleased by what they saw as a cowardly ploy to avoid upsetting Obama."

"The municipality of Bethlehem removed a monument depicting the Palestinian state as covering the entire area from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea ahead of US President Barack Obama’s visit to the city last Friday, Palestinian Media Watch revealed on Sunday. Obama’s route into the city would have taken him past the monument, called “The State Monument,” and said to show the “State of Palestine,” PMW said. The model of “Palestine” also includes all of Israel, thereby erasing it completely, the watchdog group noted."

PMW findings initiate debate in Norway about funding to the PA

Maariv
"For a few weeks now, a fierce public discussion is underway in Norway. The Norwegian Foreign Ministry has reported in the past to the parliament that Norway's aid does not, for example, fund terrorists in prison. Palestinian Media Watch insisted that this information was incorrect. The debate became heated. This week, the Norwegian Foreign Ministry issued a notice, which should be called a confession, that their first report was wrong. Norway does transfer funds to the Palestinian Authority and these funds reach murderers sitting in prison in the form of ongoing grants.

"Two of the Palestinian Authority's largest contributors include Britain and Norway, who shelled out more than $93 million and $53 million, respectively, in 2010... Unfortunately, much of this funding may be used for the promotion of something dramatically different from peace. According to new report out on Thursday from the Israeli-based research institute Palestinian Media Watch, 2.5 percent of the Palestinian Authority's monthly budget is eaten up by salaries for prisoners sitting in Israeli jails, many of whom are convicted of plotting or carrying out terrorist attacks. That 2.5 percent amounts to about $5 million every month that is paid as a salary to these men, not, the report emphasized, as welfare or social assistance to the men’s families."

"'The report [comparing Israeli and Palestinian textbooks] is a complete whitewashing of Palestinian hatred of Jews and Israel and is one of the worst developments for peace since the early days of the Oslo Accords,' Itamar Marcus, the director of Palestinian Media Watch, told JNS.org. 'I totally reject the findings of the report, which are meant to create a symmetry between the Israeli and Palestinian education system that simply does not exist,' Marcus said. 'Palestinian textbooks are filled with blatant delegitimization and hatred, and this report is doing a great disservice to any future prospects for peace by essentially encouraging Palestinians to continue their curriculum of teaching hatred to their children.'"

"Itamar Marcus, director of Palestinian Media Watch, an Israeli research institute that studies Palestinian society and the Arab world through their media and educational materials, said there is 'a big difference' between Al Jazeera's Arabic programming and its international English-language broadcasts. 'The Arab broadcasts very often promote a very radical Islamist approach,' said Marcus. 'What's brilliant,' Marcus said, is the way the company 'binds this in with all the latest technology and even occasionally interviews with differing opinions, including Israeli leaders.' This creates a 'perception' of balanced reporting, Marcus said, 'but in fact, the overall underlying agenda is very radical.'

The Jerusalem Post
"The Palestinian Media Watch NGO of Itamar Marcus exposed an item: The Palestinian Authority has denounced the existence of any Jewish history in Jerusalem. In this report, it claimed that the Jewish Temple 'exists only in the minds of radical organizations.' Not only do they deny Jewish identity to Jerusalem and the land, they actively reject and destroy all evidence and facts placed before them. Instead, they invent an ancient Palestinian history in its place. The Palestinian Authority, from Abbas down, accuses Israel of stealing Palestinian heritage when confronted with the evidence of our history."

"The U.S. government has designated a Al Aqsa TV 'a terrorist organization because it is a primary Hamas media outlet and airs programs and music videos designed to recruit children to become Hamas armed fighters and suicide bombers upon reaching adulthood.' What are some of these videos like? According to Palestinian Media Watch, an organization that has been called to testify before Congress many times, a recent video beamed the legend 'Killing Jews is worship that draws us close to Allah.' Another video contained the jaunty lyric: 'Brigades — we kidnap soldiers, Brigades — we kill Jews . . . Your body parts are scattered everywhere. The cemeteries await you.'"

"For days, Hamas has been broadcasting battle-cry video clips on its Al-Aqsa TV station, produced especially for Operation Pillar of Defense... One such segment includes the following warning to the Israel Defense Forces: "The price will be high, sons of Zion... There is nothing here for you but death..." This is but one of many and varied examples — translated by Palestinian Media Watch over the years — of how the Palestinians actually view their conflict with Israel. It has nothing to do with the 1967 borders. Nor does it have to do with “occupation”; Israel withdrew completely from the Gaza Strip in 2005.... It is an assertion of a religious imperative that Israel must be destroyed."

"British aid money is helping to pay ‘salaries’ to Palestinian prisoners – some of them convicted terrorists – serving time in Israeli jails, according to a report. The Palestinian Authority is paying them up to £1,957 a month – more than the average salary of a UK worker... A report by watchdog organisation Palestinian Media Watch shows how Palestinian Authority legislation – introduced last year – sets out eligibility criteria for the payments, which a minister claimed were ‘social assistance’ for prisoners’ families. This includes those serving multiple life sentences for acts of terrorism, such as the planning and directing of suicide bombings."

Wall Street Journal on PMW report about PA salaries for terrorists, funded by EU countries

"A report by Palestinian Media Watch recently revealed that British taxpayers have been paying salaries to terrorists. It revealed that £3 million every month is paid by the Palestinian Authority (PA) in salaries to Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. The salaries come from the PA's general budget. That 'general budget' is kindly provided by the U.K., among other EU countries. Many British taxpayers, struggling to pay their family's way through a recession, might rightly wonder why their money is going to pay as much as £2,000 a month to people serving the longest sentences—those who have targeted Israeli buses and other civilian targets with suicide bombers, for instance. That is higher than the average wage in nearly all of Britain."

"One particularly poignant case in point [of PA terror glorification] — as reported by Palestinian Media Watch — is the granting of a posthumous award to Hanadi Jaradat by the Palestine Committee of the Arab Lawyers Union. Jaradat was a 28-year-old Palestinian woman from the West Bank town of Jenin, in the process of completing her clerkship at a law firm. The young beauty was a mere few weeks away from becoming a full-fledged attorney. But she opted, instead, to blow herself up. The date was Oct. 5, 2003. The venue was Maxim’s restaurant in Haifa. That suicide bombing killed 21 people, among them young children and Arabs."

The group, an Israeli research institute focused on monitoring the messages of all aspects of Palestinian media, has detailed some of the deception of the Palestinian Authority, even during moments of peace talks. For example, while portraying himself to the West as a man of compromise, Abbas said flatly last October that 'we refuse to recognize a Jewish state.'"

The Australian (Online Newspaper)
"An organisation named Palestinian Media Watch does an outstanding job of bringing attention to what the PA and related organisations are saying in Arabic, as opposed to the usually more temperate comments made in English for the world outside the Middle East... An astonishing part of PA ideology is the constant use of the notoriously forged document of a century ago, the so-called Protocols of the Elders of Zion. For the PA, this is presented as proof that Jews are running an international conspiracy to conquer and divide the world and to portray Jews and Israelis as inherently evil. The moderator at a Fatah ceremony refers to 'our war with the descendants of apes and pigs.'" [...] Distressingly crude, racist caricatures of Jews/Israelis are published with PA approval."

PMW documentation reveals PA violence promotion and demonization
|
July 31, 2012
-
Israel Hayom
"...The PA takes the arts very seriously. Let’s take a look at some examples, provided and translated by Palestinian Media Watch. One televised exhibit and interview with artist Abd Al-Hai Msallam shows a painting of 'the Gaza massacre.' In the painting, we can see one large ogre impaling children on his bayonet and eating them, while two smaller ogres eat dead children. All three ogres are wearing kippot with stars of David on them."

Ha'aretz on the PA's rejection of a minute of silence for Munich Olympics massacre, exposed by PMW
|
July 27, 2012
-
Haaretz
"[As documented by PMW], Palestinian Authority and Fatah officials are referring, again and again, to the terrorist Dalal Mughrabi as a hero, a freedom fighter. Mughrabi took part in the 1978 attack on Israel's coast road (connecting Tel Aviv and Haifa), killing 37 Israelis, 12 of them children. Over and over, the officials are including Lod, Ramle and Haifa as a part of the Palestinian land and are misleading their people that one day they will return to those cities as part of their right of return [also reported by PMW]."

The Commentator on PMW report - Minute of silence for Olympic victims would be racism, says the PA
|
July 27, 2012
-
The Commentator
"As PMW points out, the slaughter in Munich is not referred to by Palestinian officials as a "massacre" at all. They call it the "Munich Operation." The perpetrators are not called criminals or terrorists, they’re considered heroes. According to PMW, "The murder of the 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics is presented as a highlight of Palestinian "operations" and one of their great accomplishments. In 2010, the official PA daily referred to the Olympic massacre as a "shining station" and its planner was called a “star who sparkled... at the sports stadium in Munich.““

The Jewish Journal
"The latest evidence [of PA Jew hatred] comes from this July 13, 2012, presentation on PA TV (translated by the respected Palestinian Media Watch) that features artist Abd Al-Hai Msallam and his pictorial takeproudly intended for all ageson an unspecified 'Gaza massacre.' The lurid painting depicts a reptilian–headed Israeli soldier devouring a Palestinian boy while he impales a Palestinian girl on his bayonet. This monster wears a skullcap with a Star of David, as do two baby monsters shown eating a pile of dead Palestinian children."

The Jewish Journal
"The organization he [Itamar Marcus] heads, Palestinian Media Watch, has been monitoring Palestinian media and digging out gems of hate and violence since 1996. Marcus has been making his case in Parliaments and on the media around the world; 'Deception' is his latest cry... 'Deception: Betraying the Peace Process' is the latest evidence that hatred towards the Jews and subsequently the 'Zionists' was, and still is the problem in the Middle East; Anyone who wonders in frustration how come there’s still no peace over there should look no further."

Israel Hayom article cites PMW material - Puppet show for Palestinian kids motivates violence against Israel
|
June 15, 2012
-
Israel Hayom
"Those who think this kind of indoctrination [to violence] goes on in Gaza, where terrorists reign, but is not characteristic of the “moderate” Palestinian Authority in the West Bank ought to think again. Though examples abound – all of which can be obtained from Palestinian Media Watch – a recent gem is worth noting. A Palestinian NGO intent on educating children about the evils of cigarette smoking recently put on a puppet show in east Jerusalem. In it, one puppet said, '... Jerusalem doesn't need youths who hold cigarettes. It needs men who hold machine guns, not cigarettes.'"

"Now, courtesy of Palestinian Media Watch, we discover that – far worse - the EU is helping to fund pro-suicide bomber propaganda. Earlier this month, Israel transferred the bodies of 91 terrorists, including suicide bombers, to the Palestinian Authority. A TV program for youth, called Speak Up, then glorified the 91 terrorists as: ‘More honoured than all of us... They are the greatest role models for us.'"

'Unfortunately, these things are routine,' Marcus said. 'There are nuances of differences between the Hamas and Fatah programs, but the messages are the same – Israel has no right to exist or simply doesn't exist.'"

Critique of Australian aid to the PA, citing PMW material
|
June 4, 2012
-
Herald Sun
"An even cursory look at the online files of the Palestinian Media Watch shows the extent of the problem. The region's broadcasters and newspapers make celebrities of suicide bombers, the mostly young "martyrs" sent to crowded streets to claim as many innocents as they can. Depending on how "successful" their mission, the terrorists' names may adorn a Palestinian street, a sports event, or even a school. The Palestinian Authority shows little concern that these killers are turned into role models that may inspire others."

PA supports and teaches glorification of terror - PMW documentation cited as evidence

June 1, 2012

Huffington Post
"According to the respected Palestinian Media Watch, which monitors PA incitement and anti-Semitism, only two weeks ago on the anniversary of the founding of the modern State of Israel, an op-ed published in the official PA daily reiterated the PA's denial of Israel's right to exist and its hope and expectation for Israel's destruction. Meanwhile in March this year, at an event attended by three PA ministers, Abbas' Minister of Social Affairs, Majida Al-Masri, stated a unity deal with Hamas was needed in order to focus Palestinian efforts on the destruction of Israel, calling on Palestinians 'to turn to the struggle for the liberation of Palestine -- all of Palestine.' Sadly, one need not look too wide, or far back, for more such examples."

"Take the reports released in the last week by the heroic Palestinian Media Watch, the monitor group founded by Itamar Marcus and which should be honored with a Nobel Peace Prize. In a PA TV’s children's program, a young girl says that Christians and Jews are “inferior” to Muslims, while the official PA daily was proclaiming Israel’s destruction: 'We remember you, all of Palestine... until we return to you, oh Haifa, Acre, and Jaffa... and all the temporary ones (Israelis) will go away... May their (Israeli) independence collapse, and may Palestine come back to life.' Translation: We would like to turn the Mediterranean Sea red with Jewish blood.

"The PA frequently glorifies suicide bombers while delegitimizing Israel's right to exist, according to Palestinian Media Watch. On May 2, the Palestinian government hosted a soccer tournament for al-Quds University in Abu Dis, naming teams after famous terrorists. A May 15 op-ed in the PA's official daily called Israel's founding "the greatest theft in history" and continued with anticipation of Israel's destruction.

Thus, the Palestinian Authority "practice of honoring Dalal Mughrabi and presenting her as a role model for youth continues. In 1978, a group of terrorists led by Dalal Mughrabi sailed from Lebanon to Israel to carry out a terror attack. They hijacked a bus and killed 37 Israeli civilians.'"

PA Nakba narrative views all of Israel as illegitimate, as documented by PMW

May 15, 2012

Commentary Magazine.com
"As Palestine Media Watch notes in their survey of official Palestinian Authority programs, the point about the Nakba narrative is that it draws no distinction between the pre- and post-1967 borders. That means the Jewish presence within the internationally recognized borders of the State of Israel is treated as just as illegitimate as that of the settlers in the territories who we are constantly told are the main obstacle to peace."

Commentator article criticizes British funding of PA incitement
|
May 1, 2012
-
The Commentator
"The [UK] Minister [of State] and his officials cannot be unaware that Palestinian TV often broadcasts programmes which lionise terrorism, which encourage and educate young Palestinians to believe that cities such as Haifa and Acre are Palestinian, and demonise Jews in general Israeli Jews in particular. Such programmes abound and are easily accessible thanks to the work of organisations such as MEMRI and Palestinian Media Watch. Only last week, Palestinian Media Watch exposed a horrible example from Palestinian TV, showing a children’s programme in which the adult TV presenters shouted, 'Bravo!' as a small child recited a poem in which she described Israel as 'Satan with a tail.' This is a clear breach of the conditions under which UK taxpayers fund Palestinian TV."

It provides hundreds of examples of hate speech, glorification of terrorists and murderers, and other anti-Israel statements from May 2010 to April 2011."

"Mr. Netanyahu described the words of the mufti of Jerusalem, Sheikh Hussein, as “morally heinous” and compared the remarks to those of Haj Amin al-Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem who notoriously aligned himself with Hitler in the 1930s. Palestinian television broadcast the mufti’s comments on Jan. 9 and Palestinian Media Watch, an Israeli monitoring group, drew attention to them on Jan. 15."

"The PMW report references an essay in the magazine by a teenage Palestinian girl. The girl wrote about meeting Adolf Hitler in a dream, who tells her that he killed the Jews 'so you would all know that they are a nation who spreads destruction all over the world.' ... PMW head Itamar Marcus said his organization welcomes the Wiesenthal Center’s call to UNESCO to stop funding the magazine 'Zayafuna.' 'UNESCO’s continued funding of a hate magazine makes them a participant in the hate promotion it disseminates,' Marcus said."

NY Times review of PMW's book "Deception: Betraying the Peace Process"
|
Dec. 20, 2011
-
The New York Times
"A new book by an Israeli watchdog group catalogs dozens of examples of messages broadcast by the Palestinian Authority for its domestic audience that would seem at odds with the pursuit of peace and a two-state solution. Instead, the authors say, their findings show a pattern of non-recognition of Israel’s right to exist, demonization of Israel and promotion of violence... The book goes to the heart of this debate. Its authors — Itamar Marcus, the founder and director of the privately financed Palestinian Media Watch, and an analyst from the group, Nan Jacques Zilberdik — called their book 'Deception: Betraying the Peace Process.' 'There is no preparation for living with Israel as neighbors,' Ms. Jacques Zilberdik said. 'Instead, we see the opposite.'"

"The book [Deception: Betraying the Peace Process], launched at the beginning of the month in a New York event attended by Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel and Advancing Human Rights founder Bob Bernstein, analyzes a year’s worth of cultural, educational and general media resources, in which the Fatah-led PA promoted messages of hate against Israel. Authors Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik of Palestinian Media Watch discovered that even in mundane contexts, such as the sports pages in official PA newspapers or in educational programs for children, Israel is routinely referred to as 'the homeland that is occupied,' not just on the West Bank but within the Green Line. Israelis policies are regularly demonized, Israelis are compared to Nazis, and Palestinian terrorists – alive and dead – are treated as national heroes."

And the amount of incitement to hatred and violence that was published, broadcast, or encouraged by the PA during the months of May and June alone is breathtaking."

Marcus noted examples such as the fact that Abbas recently awarded $2,000 to the family of a terrorist who attacked IDF soldiers, and that a week before the Itamar killings, the PA-controlled television channel honored two people sitting in prisons, and referred to them as heroes – the woman who drove a suicide bomber to the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem, and the man who drove a suicide bomber to the capital’s Pat junction."

The Jerusalem Post
When Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas recently spoke in Washington and publicly condemned the killings of four Israelis by Hamas terrorists near Hebron, it generated a feeling of cautious optimism. [...] Unfortunately, an examination of the internal PA responses to the attack, when not under the watchful eyes of Barack Obama, Binyamin Netanyahu and the world media, quickly erased hope that the PA had distanced itself from terror. A comparison by Palestinian Media Watch (www.palwatch.org) of the PA response to the murders of four Israeli civilians to their reaction to the deaths during the flotilla confrontations, emphasizes that the PA’s response to Hamas’s attack was not a condemnation of terror or violence at all.

She believes that PA TV, which is controlled by the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, in fact features just as much anti-Semitic content as Al-Aqsa TV. “The Palestinian Authority and ruling party, Fatah, is not preparing the Palestinian people for living in peace with Israel,” says Nan Jacques.

The Palestinian Media Watch, which monitors newspapers, broadcasts and teaching in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, produced an extensive, detailed account of Israel hate emanating from areas controlled by Abbas... On June 21, Palestinian Authority TV rebroadcast a show claiming prominent Israeli cities such as Jaffa, Haifa and Tiberias are Palestinian. Another PA-TV program described Israeli soldiers as "wild animals" and said, "The Jews are our enemies." In late June, a PA-TV game show, "The Stars," solicited answers describing "Palestine" as including all of Israel. In a June 25 sermon, the Palestinian Authority-appointed Mufti, an interpreter of religious law, claimed the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem is threatened by "the enemies of Allah," a term used for Jews.

Israel and the Flotilla: On the Dangers of a Binary View
|
June 20, 2010
-
Huffington Post
It is increasingly clear Israel is judged by very different measures and with decreasing objectivity by every actor independent of Israel. Israel herself cannot be objective because she is entrenched in a terrible dilemma. A Hamas that cares not to fill the bellies of those starving in Gaza is also the same agency spending millions of dollars on televised indoctrination designed to manipulate young, plastic minds. See for yourself: go to Palestinian Media Watch. Children, in the prime ages of 5-7 are critically vulnerable to developing attachment figure-like relationships to God. At precisely these ages, they are bombarded with "Hamas Box Office" productions: aspirational propaganda extolling the virtues of suicide bombing as vengeance. Through his work at Palestinian Media Watch, Itamar Marcus has revealed just how institutionalized terror has become in the territories.

Mahmoud Abbas twists the truth, as the Washington press corps idly looks on
|
June 11, 2010
-
The Telegraph
On Wednesday PA president Mahmoud Abbas stood before the Washington press corps and the president of the United States, and blatantly twisted the truth. Nobody called him on it. Abbas said, "And I say in front of you, Mr. President, that we have nothing to do with incitement against Israel, and we're not doing that." Yet according to Palestinian Media Watch, which monitors the PA's television channel and its newspaper, Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, the amount of incitement to hatred and violence that was published, broadcast, or encouraged by the PA during the months of May and June alone is breathtaking.
One can view a clip from PA TV which features zombie-eyed girls of about eight years of age, singing: "I want to carry a machine gun and a rifle." But none of the reporters used their question time to challenge Abbas.

The Palestinian Authority Celebrates Terrorists Who Killed Israelis
|
May 3, 2010
-
http://www.danielpipes.org
Along comes Palestinian Media Watch to make our point in spades, publishing today an eye-opening compendium of tributes by the PA to a long list of murderers. Titled "From Terrorists to Role Models: The Palestinian Authority's Institutionalization of Incitement," its summary explains that "The PA's policy of naming schools, summer camps, sporting events, streets and ceremonies after terrorists fundamentally undermines the chance for peace." Written by Itamar Marcus, Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Barbara Crook and the PMW staff, it establishes in painstaking detail PA glorification of some of the most evil individuals in recent years.

MOWBRAY: Panting after peace
|
Apr. 19, 2010
-
The Washington Times
Mr. Obama would be well-advised to comb through the Web site of the invaluable Palestinian Media Watch, which has documented hundreds of examples of violent Islamic indoctrination from both Hamas and Fatah.
Simply put, ordinary Palestinians are not ready to accept peaceful coexistence with a Jewish state of Israel. Various polls over the years have shown clear majority support for rocket attacks and suicide bombings, and those who disagree publicly do so on strategic - not moral - grounds.
Is a society where no one speaks out against the depravity of brainwashing its children to become mass murderers ready to embrace peace?

A Tale of Two Murderers
|
Mar. 12, 2010

Salon.com
The story was in the best tradition of the fallacy about one man's terrorist being another's "freedom fighter." The Times headline reflected this moral ambivalence: "Palestinians Honor Figure Reviled in Israel as a Terrorist." For Palestinians quoted in the piece, including Fatah officials, Mughrabi was a heroine who was "every Palestinian girl," rather than a heartless killer who helped mow down 38 human beings, including 13 children, before being killed herself by Israeli forces. As for this being an isolated incident, as Palestinian Media Watch has reported, the drumbeat of incitement against Israel and the glorification of violence against Jews is unceasing. Indeed, as even the Times notes, "the Palestinians also named two girls' high schools, a computer center, a soccer championship and two summer camps for Ms. Mughrabi in the last two years."

The group says that the Palestinians also named two girls high schools, a computer center, a soccer championship and two summer camps for Ms. Mughrabi in the last two years.

Glorifying Terror
|
Mar. 11, 2010
-
Christian Broadcasting Network
On his website, [PMW Director Itamar] Marcus documents the glorification of Mughrabi and other martyrs in the official Palestinian media. He says it reflects the kind of values that permeate Palestinian society. These values of glorifying terror and terrorists are often out of sight of much of the Western media and not visible at photo ops with Palestinian leaders and visiting dignitaries like Vice President Biden. But this kind of glorification of terrorists in Palestinian society helps indoctrinate one more generation of Palestinians into terror. Marcus – who has studied this kind of incitement for more than a decade – believes genuine peace will come when Palestinian society goes through a detoxification of values that glorify terror and terrorists.

""One of the biggest problems is the incitement, and how it creates heroes and role models for kids. The naming of the square is a clear message that whoever kills most Israelis is the greatest hero," Marcus said.
Marcus said his organization has been in contact with Kuperwasser, the director-general of the Strategic Affairs Ministry, and discussed creating an index that would quantify the incitement."
