Palestinian Media Watch updates with this report of a Palestinian music video that had been off the air for a couple of weeks, but now it's back. The report isn't on line yet, so I'm posting the whole thing here.

PA Music Video:

Israelis are Cold Blooded Murderers

Introduction:
Twice today PA TV broadcast a particularly hateful music video intended for children. It opens with a young girl rushing home to her mother with flowers, but as she approaches, an Israeli rifle appears at the corner of the screen and her mother is murdered in front of her eyes. In the next scene, the girl places the flowers intended for her mother on her mother's grave. The rest of the 5-minute music video is the girl's song of mourning and longing for her mother, which she sings over the grave.

This PA video is designed to create fear and hatred of Israelis among PA children, depicting them as people who would murder even their mother in cold blood. It had been broadcast almost daily from Jan - July 2003, and stopped being broadcast two weeks ago. As reported above, today it was broadcast twice.

The following are selections from the text of her song [PA TV subtitles]:
“My mother I miss you
I know that you can hear me
I can go to you ...
If you cant come to me

Cold has come to my life
It makes me suffer...

Ma, you voice still a tear in my eyes, I bear
Ma, you voice still a tear in my eyes, I bear

Bring my mother back to me
Bring my mother back to me
Bring my mother back to me”
