About Palestinian Media Watch
Palestinian Media Watch is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering peace by exposing hate and promoting understanding in Palestinian society.
Palestinian Media Watch was founded in 1996 by Itamar Marcus, who recognized the critical need for accurate, comprehensive monitoring of Palestinian media and education.
Over the past 25+ years, PMW has become a leading authority on Palestinian society, providing governments, legislators, media, and academic researchers with an accurate picture of Palestinian society.
Our work has been instrumental in exposing the discrepancies between public and private messages in Palestinian communications, contributing significantly to policy discussions and peace negotiations.
Today, PMW continues its mission with a dedicated team of researchers and translators, working tirelessly to promote understanding and peace in the region.
