USAID Needs Emergency Aid

Remember my post on USAID?

Well, read this:-

The Washington Post and The Washington Times both published articles this week citing research by Palestinian Media Watch.

The Washington Post article on US funding in the Palestinian Authority stated that it was PMW reports that pushed the U.S. Agency for International Development [USAID] to "take action":

"Pushing USAID to take action, according to its Tuesday presentation, was a recent report by Palestinian Media Watch that Al-Quds Open University -- a U.S. aid recipient -- 'hosts branches of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror organizations.'"

The Washington Times article reports on PMW’s recent bulletin documenting the increased influence of Islam in Palestinian society. The Times article opened with:

“Both Hamas and the supposedly secular Fatah are engaging in a new propaganda war, each portraying itself as the defender of the faith…according to a report being released today by the Palestinian Media Watch.”
