Palestinian Media Watch reports:
As the Palestinian media slowly return to their regular routine following Arafat’s death, their well-documented hate promotion and incitement are likewise reappearing. One common theme that has quickly returned due to the war in Iraq is the depiction of the US, verbally and visually, as the cruel and inhuman enemy.
A cartoon in today’s official PA daily, Al Hayat al Jadida, shows an American soldier raping a young girl, while the Arab world looks on with amusement and even offers support. The most recent Friday sermon on PATV depicts the US as the creator of international terror. In a third example, a vicious cartoon depicts US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as the exterminator of Arabs.
Here’s the cartoon. No wonder Sharon is demanding the elimination of incitement in Palestinian media.
