Welcome to our Jewish friends

Palestine Media 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
