PMW (Palestinian Media Watch) is a watchdog group that provides an essential service. It monitors and exposes antisemitic hate and incitement in Palestinian media, primarily in leaders’ speeches and in programming directed at children. The group shares clips that contradict the statements that Palestinian officials make in western media, and it translates them to English. Exposing hate and lies is an important function, but it seems that PMW has been singled out by YouTube as a group to be shut down. There is no known example where other groups exposing hatred have been shut down.

PMW’s content is consistent with your principles and with other watchdog groups that use your services. PMW plays an important role in denouncing hate speech. By bending to the wishes of those who lobbied for the closure of PMW's account, you are contradicting your own policies against hate speech. We urge you to reconsider the decision to shut down PMW.
