Israeli Ambassador addresses UN Security Council on PA Mufti's hate speech, exposed by PMW

This month - on January 9th – Palestinian Authority television broadcast the proceedings of an event celebrating Fatah’s 47th anniversary.

UK Foreign Office Minister condemns PA Mufti speech calling to kill Jews, exposed by PMW

"I condemn the inflammatory words used by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and others at a recent event marking the 47th anniversary of the Fatah movement. To refer to the Jewish people in such a way and to talk of killing Jews is anti-semitism, pure and simple."

Following PMW's exposure of PA Mufti's hate speech, Israeli PM calls for criminal investigation of Mufti

"The Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), a watchdog group that monitors Palestinian media and textbooks, distributed a video last week of a January 9 Fatah rally during which Mufti of Jerusalem Mohammed Hussein, read out a well-known text (Hadith) attributed to Muhammad saying that the killing of Jews will speed up the redemption."

PMW in the Media

Arutz Sheva - Feb. 1, 2012

"The Palestinian Authority’s Fatah faction... stated, 'Our children are our glory and honor; they were created to be fertilizer for the land of Palestine and our pure land to be saturated with their blood.' The gory message was reported and translated by Palestinian Media Watch."

The Jerusalem Post - Jan. 31, 2012

"Itamar Marcus founded Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) in 1996 as a nonprofit organization to monitor the Palestinian media. Its documentation of Palestinian behavior, including systematically taping official Palestinian TV, became an important source for parliamentarians and serious journalists throughout the world. His briefing of US legislators was a major factor contributing toward the prevailing pro-Israel orientation of Congress and the American people."

Haaretz English Edition - Jan. 31, 2012

"Palestinian Media Watch provides mostly professional material on Palestinian incitement in the media and textbooks... The Prime Minister's Bureau confirmed that it is one of several government offices to subscribe to the Palestinian Media Watch e-mail list."

The Jerusalem Post - Jan. 30, 2012

"Twice last week, official Palestinian Authority TV broadcast greetings to the murderers of the Fogel family from the relatives of the killers and from the PA TV host, Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), an NGO tracking Palestinian media outlets said in a statement Sunday."

Chicago Sun-Times - Jan. 30, 2012

"The Palestinian Media Watch caught one of the Palestinian Authority’s highest religious officials citing Islamic tradition on PA-TV to say it was the Palestinians’ destiny to kill Jews. Another PA-TV broadcast [exposed by PMW] praised the slaughter of an Israeli family of five last year. No wonder Israelis don’t see a peace partner."

Senator Sam Brownback, (Rep.):

"The violence and hatred being promoted to children by the Palestinian Authority through its media and schoolbooks is made dismayingly clear by PMW's invaluable report..."

Binyamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister, (Likud):

"Education is the key to peace... . This (PMW) study exposes this culture of hate and thereby helps to correct it."

MP Michael Melchior, Knesset Education Committee Chairman, (Labor):
