[upbeat music] I'm Lori Cardoza Moore, and this is Proclaiming Justice Podcast.

Palestinian Media Watch was founded 14 years ago, uh, and we study what the Palestinians are saying amongst themselves in Arabic.
1:09
We always knew what they were saying in English to the media, what they were saying in English to negotiators.
1:13
Uh, we wanted to know what they were saying in Arabic with a special focus on what they were saying to the children 'cause we're convinced that what they say to their children is both their authentic beliefs and opinions, and what they say to the children will determine if we have peace in the next generation.
1:29
For 15 years, we have been studying, uh, the Palestinian world, uh, by looking at things as broad as crossword puzzles, mu- music videos, their schoolbooks, uh, and of course, uh, even things like sports in order to get a sense of what's happening at the people level in the Palestinian Authority.
1:49
Palestinian Media Watch, uh, finds that around the world, uh, amongst members of parliaments around the world, right here in the United States amongst members of Congress, uh, there is so much misinformation and disinformation that people are, are, are, are listening to and hearing that there is a tremendous amount of sympathy for the Palestinian Authority, and like I say, it's based on false information.
2:14
There is no reason why, uh, Christians here in the United States should not be victims of that as well, and that's what we're finding.

Do you see that as well?
30:35
Yes, exactly.
30:36
And, and you're making a very good point with this term Holocide.
30:38
They've created this term Holocide.
30:40
It's a, uh, in, uh, in Arabic, the word ah- awwal refers to horrors.
30:47
So what they're doing is horrors and genocide, awwal genocide, and of course, then it comes out sounding like Holocide.
30:55
So they're getting in all the messages that they want.
35:48
Mm.
