PMW has launched a
TV ad campaign in Washington,
D.C., to highlight the need for peace education as prerequisite for
peace. The
30-second TV spot is running on CNN, FOX News, MSNBC and Headline
News in the Washington area this
month to point out the negative impact on peace of the
Palestinian Authority´s policy to glorify
terrorists.
The entire ad campaign is made possible
through the initiative and financial support of a private
donor.

glorification as obstacle to peace.
This campaign
coincides with
PMW´s release this week in Washington
of the new PMW report, From
Terrorists to
Role Models: The Palestinian Authority´s Institutionalization of
Incitement. The
26-page report and additional documentation will be presented to
members of Congress
on Thursday at an event sponsored by Congressman Brad Sherman,
Chairman of the
House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation and
Trade, and
Congressman Steven Rothman, member of the Foreign Operations
Subcommittee of
the House Appropriations Committee.
The
ad campaign and the report follow the U.S. administration´s strong and
public condemnation of Palestinian
glorification of terrorists as an impediment to peace.
Phillip Crowley, Assistant Secretary of State:"We
also strongly condemn the [Palestinian] glorification of terrorists.
Honoring
terrorists who have murdered innocent civilians, either by official
statements
or by the dedication of public places, hurts peace efforts and must
end. We
will continue to hold Palestinian leaders accountable for
incitement." [April
8, 2010]
These and other US
government
condemnations of the PA practice of terror glorification were in
response to
recent PMW reports and bulletins.
The TV ad ends with the
words:
"If terrorists are glorified, how can there be
peace?"
