Palestinian Media Watch
Palestinian Media Watch (PMW; Hebrew: מבט לתקשורת פלסטינית) is an Israel-based nongovernmental organization and media watchdog group. Founded in 1996 by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch documents cases of incitement in Palestinian media.
Itamar Marcus established Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) in 1996.
In 2011, Marcus and PNW researcher Jacques Zilberdik released a book entitled Deception: Betraying the Peace Process, a collection of media samples from 2010 to 2011 of messages broadcast to a domestic audience by the Palestinian Authority that the authors say show a pattern of non-recognition of Israel's right to exist, demonization of Israel and promotion of violence.
PMW states that the PA glorifies terrorists, libels Israel, and promotes a culture of violence.
A report Palestinian Media Watch presented to the United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2008 indicated that the Palestinian Authority was engaging with enemies of the United States on a shared platform of hatred toward the U.S. The report argued that under such circumstances, the creation of an independent Palestinian state would contribute to the undermining U.S. efforts toward world peace.
In 2011 Palestinian Media Watch presented U.S. congressmen with a report indicating that more than $5 million of U.S. funding for the Palestinian Authority was being used to pay salaries to Palestinian prisoners jailed in Israel on terrorism-related charges. The report also cited instances of the Palestinian Authority glorifying the perpetrators of terrorist attacks against Israelis.
In 2012, Haaretz reported that as a consequence of Israeli intelligence agencies having reduced their own real-time monitoring of mainstream Arab-language media, Palestinian Media Watch and the Washington, D.C.–based Middle East Media Research Institute provide the Israeli government with coverage of anti-Israel incitement in the Palestinian media. The Prime Minister's Bureau has stated that prior to the government citing information furnished by the two organizations, the source of the material and its credibility are verified.
In 2007 widespread criticism was generated around a children's television program, Tomorrow's Pioneers, aired from Hamas-run studios in the Gaza Strip. The program employed a Mickey Mouse–inspired figure in order to instill anti-American and anti-Israeli sentiment and promote a message of Islamic dominion among children. Palestinian Media Watch, together with the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), were the first to raise concerns in relation to the show.
