Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) reports that the official Palestinian Authority TV has increased, in the last 24 hours, its broadcast of clips which incite the viewers to anti-Israel violence. The clips include pictures of Israeli soldiers shooting at rioters, throwing tear gas grenades and graphic pictures of Arabs wounded or killed in confrontations. The pictures include close-up photographs of dead and wounded, of hospitalized children, funerals, bitter crying, screaming, and fearful children and elders. In many pictures the emphasis is on the activity of the masses in the riots, especially that of children.
Some of the clips are staged, and actors take part in them. In one, a child is seen throwing a stone that shatters the Israeli flag. Young viewers are taught that their rocks have significant power. In another scene, subtitles convey Israeli soldiers\' thoughts, portraying them as sadists wanting to kill Arab children. Another shows a young boy assuring an even younger child: “Don’t be afraid, Don’t be afraid, Allah is with them. The stone in their hand has turned into a Kalachnikov [assault rifle].\"
In a statement released today by the Prime Minister\'s office, Israel\'s leadership calls on the international community to demand that Arab leaders immediately halt all terror, violence and incitement, and arrest terrorist elements. \"The international community must make it clear to the Palestinians that they alone will bear the consequences of their actions and deficiencies.\" Since the Tenet understandings of 13 June, there have been some 850 Palestinian terrorist attacks resulting in 17 Israeli deaths and 94 casualties.
