US-Funded Palestinian Authority TV Plays Music Video Glorifying Attacks On Israel, In Direct Violation of Aid Requirements From Congress.

PA TV glorifies armed attacks against Israel.(PW).By Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik. Palestinian Authority TV recently broadcast a music video glorifying and calling for armed attacks against Israel. The official PA TV broadcast, which resembles videos that were common on PA TV during the 5-year PA terror campaign (the Intifada, 2000-2005), shows masked fighters shooting automatic weapons, launching rockets and RPGs, and blowing up an Israeli tank. While showing numerous armed attacks, the song's refrain is: "The revolution calls to its men."

The Alashekeen band, which wrote and performed the song, has performed other songs on PA TV promoting violence against Israel. Palestinian Media Watch documented a song by the band that presents Israeli cities like Lod and Ramle as Palestinian cities to be liberated through "Jihad." The song also includes the verses "we replaced bracelets with weapons" and "pull the trigger."

Despite the violent content of their songs, the Alashekeen band was honored by PA Chairman Abbas in 2010 and declared a Palestinian national band. Hmmmm........Now that the Palestinians have 'their Supporter' in the WhiteHouse, they will get their money no matter what they do, Congress no longer matters.Read the full story here.
