'''Palestinian Media Watch''' (PMW) (not to be confused with [[Palestine Media Watch]] (PMWATCH)) is an Israeli NGO founded by 'counter terrorism analyst' [[Itamar Marcus]]. <ref>'Itamar Marcus', [http://www.analyst-network.com/profile.php?user_id=104 International Analyst Network website], accessed 28 April, 2009.</ref> The organisation's website claims that "Palestinian Media Watch was established in 1996 to gain an understanding of Palestinian society through the monitoring of the Palestinian Arabic language media and schoolbooks. Palestinian Media Watch analyzes Palestinian Authority culture and society from numerous perspectives, including studies on summer camps, poetry, schoolbooks, religious ideology, crossword puzzles, and more." <ref>'About Us', [http://www.pmw.org.il/ PMW website], accessed 26 April, 2009.</ref> The banner on PMW's website, 'A <i>Self</i> Portrait of Palestinian Society' [emphasis added], appears to be a misnomer as it belies the organisation's Israeli credentials. <ref>[http://www.pmw.org.il/ PMW website], accessed 26 April, 2009.</ref>

Beyond the moderate rhetoric of its official remit of 'gain[ing] an understanding' and 'analyz[ing]...culture and society from numerous perspectives', <ref>'About Us', [http://www.pmw.org.il/ PMW website], accessed 26 April, 2009.</ref> PMW's recent extra-curricular activities include alleging that Norwegian aid money is used to fund Palestinian childrens' television programmes, the purpose of which, according to Marcus, 'is to get hold of children while they are young and shape them in the way they [the Palestinian Authority/Fatah] want.' Marcus continues, 'No, it does not seem like [[Jonas Gahr Støre]] [Norwegian Foreign Minister] knows what he helps financing' [sic]. <ref>'Norway finances Israel-hate', [http://www.pmw.org.il/Bulletins_oct2008.html#b231008 PMW website], September 2008. (Accessed 28 April, 2009)</ref>

==Criticism==

While at the helm of the [[Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace|CMIP]] (1998-2000), Marcus was criticised by ''Ha'aretz'' journalist, [[Akiva Eldar]], who reported that:
:"In recent years Marcus has been making a living translating and disseminating defamatory communications against Israel, extracted by his staff from Palestinian publications. Marcus, a settler, used to work for [[David Bar Illan]], [[Benjamin Netanyahu]]'s PR chief, and served on the [[Joint Israeli Palestinian Anti-Incitement Committee]]. Marcus's center routinely feeds the media with excerpts from "Palestinian" textbooks that call for Israel's annihilation. He doesn't bother to point out that the texts quoted in fact come from Egypt and Jordan.<ref>Akiva Eldar, '[http://www.robat.scl.net/content/NAD/issues/pl_textbooks/what_did_u_study.php What Did You Study In School Today, Palestinian Child?]', ''Ha'aretz'', 2 January, 2001.

:"the Globe & Mail's editorial relied on Palestinian Media Watch - a well-known right-wing propaganda site run by Itamar Marcus, an Israeli settler notorious for his jaundiced views of the Palestinians. In fact, much of the wording (the translation) printed in the editorial came directly from the PMW website. Thus, the Globe has relied entirely on a scurrilous anti-Palestinian screed without referencing that source; I believe the correct word for this is plagiarism." <ref>Samah Sabawi, 'Hamas and the Missing Video', [http://www.counterpunch.org/sabawi02232006.html ''CounterPunch''], 23 February, 2006.</ref>
