2. Judge dismisses credibility of Palestinian Media Watch testimony
Mon Dec 23, 2013, 08:13 PM
Dec 2013

An Israeli district court judge metes out scathing criticism of Palestinian Media Watch director Itamar Marcus’s expert witness testimony on incitement in Palestinian media, in a civil case against the PA and its leaders. Marcus’s testimony, Judge Dalia Gano wrote, was incomplete, biased and unworthy of the title “expert witness testimony.”

Marcus is a featured source for the documentary Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West.

Marcus is a former vice president of the Central Fund of Israel.[3] Originally from New York, he now lives in the Israeli settlement of Efrat in the West Bank.[4][5]

The Central Fund of Israel

is an American non-profit association which funds projects in Israel, including, according to Politico, Israeli pro-settler groups.[1][2][3] It is run out of the Marcus Brothers Textiles store on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan.[3] Its director is Jay Marcus.[4] Itamar Marcus is a former vice president of the fund[5]

According to its director, the CFI donated in 2009 approximately $13 million to programs that included social-humanitarian, medical, education, religious, security and community projects.[1][2][3][6][7]

The fund also supports Women in Green and Honenu, an organization which, according to Haaretz, provides legal defense for "radical right-wing activists".[4][8][9] There are financial links between the fund and Im Tirtzu, for whom it is the main channel for donations.[5][9][10][11][11]
