Palestinian responses to PMW documentation
PA TV attacks PMW for calling planners of suicide bombings "terrorists"
Official Palestinian Authority TV - June 27, 2013
PA TV host:
"I want to tell the Israelis that our prisoners are heroes and not terrorists. What I saw reminded me of an Israeli website called "PMW" or "Palestinian Media Watch," a site that monitors the Palestinian
media. Of course every visit that we film for a prisoner gets them angry. I was surprised a week ago that [regarding] brother Ibrahim Hamed (54 life sentences), brother Abbas Al-Sayid (35 life sentences), and brother Abdallah Barghouti (67 life sentences), they [PMW] objected, they were upset, they slandered these heroes and claimed that they are terrorists. If they see Abdallah Barghouti as a terrorist, Abbas Al-Sayid as a terrorist, Ibrahim Hamed and Nasser Awais (14 life sentences), if they see all these prisoners as terrorists, we see them as heroes... I salute you, all you heroic fighter prisoners, and of course I always wish you freedom."
