Watch (PMWATCH) stands for
the proposition that Palestinians and Jews have an equal right to
life, liberty, and property. Our mission is to help the American media recognize
this proposition – and therefore to stop reporting the conflict
in Palestine from a pro-occupation perspective.
PMWATCH
is a diverse coalition representing people of many ethnic backgrounds
and religious faiths coming together to promote peace to oppose
ALL forms of violence, be they suicide bombings or the bombing
of civilians by IDF forces. Some of our most powerful letter-writers have
been Jewish Israelis and Americans who call for an end to Israel’s
racist treatment of Palestinians in the Occupied Territories and
in Israel itself.
Jewish-Americans
have a proud history of contributing to progressive causes here
in the United States, causes which have improved the lives of
all Americans. At the same time, the many thousands of Jewish-Americans who recognize
Israel’s human rights abuses often find themselves under attack
from pro-occupation Jews, who accuse them of being “self-hating
Jews” and even worse.
PMWATCH
calls on Jewish-Americans interested in racial equality and justice
for the Palestinians to add their voices to PMWATCH. Join the PMWATCH
action alert list and let the media know that the pro-occupation
activists do not speak for all Jews! You’ll find a group of caring and committed
people opposed to all forms of ethnic and religious intolerance. For more information, please contact pmwatch@zworg.com
