Qanta Ahmed on Palestinian Media Watch

Just over one week ago, I had the opportunity to share dinner with Qanta Ahmed and Itamar Marcus, director of Palestinian Media Watch (an organization that translates and distributes television and print Palestinian media and school text books.) At the dinner, Itamar shared his recent findings about the hate-filled media organization responsible for indoctrinating innocent Palestinian children towards violence.

Qanta, a female Muslim doctor and author of the book In the Land of Invisible Women, shares her thoughts on meeting Itamar for the first time and his work in her latest article posted on the Huffington Post here, and copied in part below. One reader responded to Qanta's article with a disturbing post to which you may read my reply by scrolling to the end of the article.

As he talked, we each fell under his spell, transfixed for long silences as we followed his journey...
