YouTube blocks PMW video that exposes PA TV hate speech to kids

YouTube accuses PMW of "spreading hatred" and threatens to close down PMW's YouTube account

by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik


Last week, Palestinian Media Watch released a video-bulletin showing a Palestinian Authority children's TV broadcast of a hate-poem. A young Palestinian girl recited a poem referring to Jews as "Allah's enemies, the sons of pigs" who "murdered children," "cut off their limbs," "raped the women in the city squares" and "defiled Allah's book." The host responded with enthusiastic applause and "Bravo!"

The following day, YouTube blocked access to PMW's video, defining it as a "violation of YouTube's policy prohibiting hate speech."

In the past, YouTube has closed PMW's account or frozen PMW's account for exposing PA religious leaders promoting genocide of Jews. This is the first time YouTube has defined a broadcast on PA children's TV as hate speech, and blocked PMW from exposing it.

PMW does not promote hate speech, but exposes it. PMW believes that the only way to stop the Palestinian Authority's ongoing Islam-based hate speech and terror glorification is to expose it. By preventing PMW from exposing PA hatred, YouTube is actively impeding our ability to fight the PA's hate promotion.

5. As I expected. Like MIFTAH, you're shifting blame elsewhere....

....in yet another attempt to deflect from and whitewash ugly, gutter antisemitism practiced by Palestinians (or in other cases, their supporters).

You obviously have more contempt for people voicing outrage at rank bigotry than the bigots themselves.

At least you're consistent.

Do you do that with others who attack racists, homophobes, kkk'ers, Islamophobes.....?

Do you agree with YouTube's policy to ban such videos as hate?

8. I saw the video and the 'translation'
Sun Apr 7, 2013, 05:44 PM

and I'm sure it is every bit as accurate as the one given us with the Farfour the Mouse as seen here


Several commentators, such as CNN's Arabic department, have claimed that the transcript of the April 13 show (2007) provided by MEMRI contains numerous translation errors and undue emphases.[91] Brian Whitaker, the Middle East editor for the Guardian newspaper (UK), wrote in a blog for the newspaper that in the translation of the video, showing Farfour eliciting political comments from a young girl named Sanabel, the MEMRI transcript misrepresents the segment, by attributing a sentence said by Farfour, ("I'll shoot&quot , to the child, and ignoring the child's statement ("I'm going to draw a picture&quot .[91]

Whitaker further criticized MEMRI's translation. He and others commented that a statement uttered by the same child, ("We're going to [or want to] resist&quot , had been given an unduly aggressive interpretation by MEMRI as ("We want to fight&quot . Also, where MEMRI translated the girl as saying the highly controversial remark ("We will annihilate the Jews&quot , Whitaker and others, including Arabic speakers used by CNN, insist that based on careful listening to the low quality video clip, the girl is variously interpreted as saying, "The Jews [will] shoot[] us"[91] or "The Jews are killing us."[92] Other sources have also pointed out that MEMRI's translation "I will commit martyrdom" should more accurately have been "I'll become a martyr" – a passive statement rather than an active/aggressive threat.[93]

MEMRI defends their translation of the show, Yigal Carmon, a former Colonel of IDF Intelligence and founder and President of MEMRI declared, "Yes, we stand by the translation by the very words, by the context, by the syntax, and every measure of the translation."[92]

I've read here that Hamas is starting a Hebew program in Gaza maybe then they'll be able to translate Hebrewedia for us, with every bit of accuracy and integrity that MEMRI's 'former' Shin-Bet and Mossad does

Marcus is a former vice president of the Central Fund of Israel.[3] Originally from New York, he now lives in the Israeli settlement of Efrat in the West Bank.[4][5]

Fund recipients

According to its director, the CFI donated in 2009 approximately $13 million to programs that included social-humanitarian, medical, education, religious, security and community projects.[1][2][3][6][7]

The fund also supports Women in Green and Honenu, an organization which, according to Haaretz, provides legal defense for "radical right-wing activists".[4][8][9] There are financial links between the fund and Im Tirtzu, for whom it is the main channel for donations.[5][9][10][11][11]
NYT report

The organization was among a number of US groups reported by the New York Times as using tax exempt status to help fund the Israeli settlement project in the occupied territories. The New York Times described the fund as a "prominent clearing house" used by dozens of West Bank organisations as "a vehicle for channeling donations back to themselves" in order for donors to receive US tax breaks.[3] The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee has filed a number of complaints with the US Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service over organizations, such as the Central Fund of Israel, that fund settlement development in the West Bank.[12]
Other accusations

The fund has been accused of funding extremist organisations [10][12][13] operating in the occupied territories. Philip Weiss reported on the Mondoweiss website that payments from the fund were directed to the Od Yosef Chai yeshiva.[12][13] The yeshiva, located in the West Bank had come under scrutiny after Yitzhak Shapira, a rabbi at the yeshiva, said it is permissible to kill Palestinian babies because of "the future danger that will arise if they are allowed to grow into evil people like their parents."[10][12][13]
