PA TV glorifies violence and
Martyrdom
Song: "Palestine is a state built...
with the
Martyr´s blood, with gunfire"
by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques
Zilberdik
 Official Palestinian Authority television twice
broadcast a song stating that violence and the "Martyr´s blood" will
be used to achieve the Palestinian state. The song demonizes Israel
as a "treacherous aggressor" and a "sinner."
Songs promoting violence and
demonizing Israel are frequently broadcast on PA TV, as documented by
Palestinian Media Watch. Click to
view recent examples here and here. The following is the full text of the
song broadcast on PA TV:
"Palestine is a state built on
struggle
With the Martyr´s
blood, with gunfire
It
[Palestine] will restore the plant to its land
It will bring home those who are
distant
It will return the
stolen [property] to its inhabitants
So that Arab honor will not be degraded
Oh treacherous aggressor, oh sinner (i.e.,
Israel)
We will rise like
the sun shining on dry grass."
[PA TV (Fatah), Jan. 20 and Feb.1, 2012]
