Truth is, you’re pretty well in trouble funding anything Palestinian-run, aren’t you? Palestinian Media Watch has a close look at the Ma’an news agency:
A Palestinian news agency that receives financial support from the governments of The Netherlands and Denmark glorifies terrorists, releases news stories using hate language and is a highly politicized, hate-promoting news organization. Paradoxically, Ma’an News claims to be “objective, accurate, balanced” and to “increase Palestinian media credibility,” according to its web site.
1- Ma’an Honoring Terrorists and Murderers as Shahids
Ma’an has glorified the recent Palestinian murderer of eight Israeli yeshiva students, the Dimona suicide terrorist, the killers of the two Israeli hikers and the terrorists who attacked a boys’ high school with the very highest Islamic status attainable, elevating them to the status of “Shahids” or “Martyrs for Allah.” According to the accepted Palestinian interpretation of Islam, there is no higher status that a Muslim can achieve today than that of Shahid. In defining terrorist murderers as “Shahids,” Ma’an is by definition sending its readers a straightforward message of honor for the killers, and approval for the many murders. Negative or dishonorable actions could not elevate an individual to Shahid status. (See below for full sources.)

In its English versions of these reports, Ma’an did not honor the terrorists as “Shahids” or use the similar English term “Martyrs.” Note, for example, the difference in Ma’an reporting on the murder of the two hikers:
Ma’an English News: “Two Israelis, two Palestinians killed by gunfire near Hebron.”
Ma’an Arabic News: “Two of the operatives died as Shahids.” [Dec. 28, 2007]…
Much more of this in the full report. It’s the old English/Arabic double game.
