\n
\nIt is by now no secret that the Palestinian Authority uses large portions of the international financial aid it receives to provide salaries and other payouts to terrorists who kill Jews...
\n
\nAmerica today contributes about $400 million a year in direct financial aid to the Palestinian Authority, and another $400 in other assistance and investments. The European Union provides a similar amount.
\n
\nIn 2011, Itamar Marcus of Palestinian Media Watch spoke before the US Congress to explain how this money was being cynically used to encourage the slaughter of Israeli Jews by paying healthy monthly salaries to those sitting in Israeli jails, or to the families of terrorists killed during successful attacks.

The two sides of the Palestinian persona

\nby Russ Jones

\n
\nNASHVILLE - A group that monitors the Palestinian media is warning about messages that are intentionally conflicting -- one in English and one in Arabic.
\n
\nA pro-Israel advocacy group hosted its annual event during the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Nashville, Tennessee, this weekend. One of the keynote speakers told a packed room that Americans are being deceived by Palestinians concerning their perceived desire for peace.
\n
\nPalestinian Media Watch founder and director Itamar Marcus told OneNewsNow that the Palestinian Authority speaks in two distinct languages -- English, for foreign consumption; and Arabic, for its internal communication. Marcus, one of the foremost authorities on Palestinian ideology and policy, says his watchdog group monitors how high-ranking Palestinian leaders often make statements in Arabic calling for the demise of both Christians and Jews.
\n
\n"To their own people they talk about violence, they talk about hatred of Israel, they demonize Israel, they present the world in which Israel doesn't exist and won't exist," he charges.
\n
\nMarcus, who is also an Israeli counter-terrorism analyst who studies Palestinian culture, contends Americans need to carefully listen to accurately translated Arabic stories to understand the Palestinian Authority's true agenda.
\n
\n"To the international community in English, they talk about peace with Israel [and] reconciliation," he offers in contrast. "[They are sending] two completely different messages, and it's critical that the world know what they're really saying in Arabic."
\n
\nMarcus concludes that Palestinians are not the victims in the Middle East, but instead are the problem.","indexId":"index15","title":"Palestinian Authority duplicity: One message in English, another in Arabic","description":"\"Palestinian Media Watch founder and director Itamar Marcus told OneNewsNow that the Palestinian Authority speaks in two distinct languages -- English, for foreign consumption; and Arabic, for its internal communication.

\nHeadline: American tax dollars at work: Bankrolling Palestinian terror
\n

\nby Ryan Jones

\n
\nOn Tuesday, Itamar Marcus of Palestinian Media Watch explained to US congressional leaders how financial aid from America, Israel's greatest ally, is being cynically used to encourage the slaughter of Israeli Jews.
\n
\nMarcus first outlined what most should know by now - that the Palestinian Authority spends a huge amount of money honoring terrorists in the most public fashion. But he also highlighted for the lawmakers a fact that most media outlets choose to ignore - that the Palestinian Authority pays a generous monthly salary to nearly all of the Palestinian terrorists sitting in Israeli jails, and provides many of their families with financial support.
\n
\nAll of these activities - the glorification of terror and the financial backing of the terrorists themselves - are funded by the PA's general budget.
\n
\nAnd all of this costs a lot of money, especially paying the salaries of terrorist prisoners, which comes to $5.2 million EVERY MONTH.
\n
\nAs such, these expenses are heavily dependent on incoming foreign aid...
\n
\nMarcus reminded his congressional hosts that it is a violation of US federal law to provide financial assistance to a terrorist or terror-supporting entity.
\n
\nBut Marcus was largely preaching to the choir.
\n
\nA week earlier, congressional leaders had put forward a bill that would end US financial aid to Pakistan, Lebanon, Egypt, Yemen and the Palestinian Authority unless they met a list of stringent requirements.
\n
\nAs far as the Palestinians are concerned, Congress wants them to immediately cease all of the nefarious activities Marcus outlined.
\n
\nFully aware that these nations are never going to meet these conditions - in other words, are never going to stop supporting terrorism - US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lashed out at Congress.
\n
\nThe new bill "would be debilitating to my efforts to carry out a considered foreign policy and diplomacy, and to use foreign assistance strategically to that end," Clinton wrote in a letter to congressional leaders.
\n
\nYears ago, when she was a humble senator from New York, Clinton stood beside Marcus as he presented a worrying analysis of the anti-Jewish Palestinian school curriculum. Clinton staunchly supported Marcus and demanded reform in the Palestinian education system.
\n
\nIt would seem she no longer holds to those convictions.
\n

\nPalestinian Media Watch Director Itamar Marcus told Cybercast News Service it's important for Americans to understand that the Palestinian education system, which spreads an ideology of hatred, begins and ends with Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah faction, which the international community is doing its best to paint as peace-seeking moderates.
\nPMW published a report at the weekend detailing the funding of different programs at Al Quds University and at the Islamic University of Gaza by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), despite the fact that both institutions host student groups affiliated with terror groups and permit activities that promote and glorify terrorism.
\nMarcus made waves in Washington last month when he appeared at a joint press conference with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) to present the findings of his most recent survey of Palestinian high school textbooks.
\nIn that presentation, Marcus showed how the Palestinian education system is saturated with rejection of Israel's right to exist and glorification of the violent tactics employed against the Jewish state.
\nClinton blasted the deliberate poisoning of the "minds of Palestinian children."
\nMarcus stressed that Abbas and Fatah are not only inciting Palestinian children, but are instilling in them a deep anti-Israel ideology that cannot be reversed. Unlike incitement, the reversal of a negative ideology requires "serious reeducation and detoxification," he said.
\nPalestinian schoolbooks are a true representation of Fatah ideology, said Marcus, and until the group changes its ideology and starts educating for peace, "the U.S. shouldn't be funding Fatah" or its leader.
\n(As Cybercast News Service recently reported, the Bush administration wants to send tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to strengthen Abbas and Fatah in the power struggle with Hamas. The White House confirmed last month that the administration has asked Congress to release $86 million to build and train Abbas' security forces.)
\nAs for USAID, Marcus blasted the agency for ignoring American law by continuing to maintain any kind of relationship with Palestinian institutions engaged in the promotion of terror.
\nThe U.S. State Department lists Hamas as a terrorist organization, and U.S. law bars any recipient of U.S. aid from associating with terrorists.
\nNevertheless, on the front page of a local Gaza City newspaper Wednesday morning was a large ad thanking USAID for providing a new power generator for the city, which "has been involved in enormous anti-American and pro-terror activities," Marcus said.
\nUSAID's behavior "is an outrage," said Marcus. "They just go and do what they want."
\nThat kind of disregard for U.S. law is "detrimental to America, it's detrimental to Israel, and in the end it's detrimental to the Palestinians," who are encouraged to continue on their current path, he concluded.","lang":"en","indexId":"index2","thumbnail":""}]
