To the Editor,
Please let your readership know that the Palestine Media Watch [PMW], a nonprofit research institute, will launch a TV ad campaign in Washington to highlight the need for peace education to help bring peace to the Middle East. PMW focuses on the messages that the leaders of the Palestinian Authority, Fatah and Hamas send to the population through the broad range of institutions and infrastructures they control. PMW monitors and analyzes the Palestinian Authority through its media and schoolbooks.
PMW founder and director Itamar Marcus has said.
The PMW television ad will run nearly 1,000 times on CNN, FOX News, MSNBC and Headline News in the Washington area over the next month, and will shine a spotlight on some of the Palestinian Authority’s most recent actions to glorify terrorists. ( Palestinian President Abbas recently supported naming a city square after the leader of an attack that killed 37 civilians. Prime Minister Fayyad just sponsored a sports tournament for teens named after terror-mastermind Abu Jihad. )
PMW material has been presented before the US Congress and the US Senate. PMW reports regularly on how foreign aid is misused by the PA for terror promotion. These reports have led to changes in legislation and funding procedures.
