In   September 1993, while on IDF Reserve duty in Har Eval overlooking Nablus, the IDF distributed its monthly newsletter to the troops.

There was a surprising feature this time, describing a new peace profile of PLO  leader, Yassir Arafat.

The  IDF newsletter described peace initiatives  that Arafat was engaged in.

Found this to be a surprising development.

Called an Arab journalist  to verify the story.

The Arab journalist was just as befuddled .

Asked him if could dispatch a TV crew to follow Arafat around and film him as he spoke to his people.

 It was not long before a dozen clips recorded Arafat’s speeches which people in Israel were not aware of, although they were screened on the new Palestinian TV channel, the  PBC, which hardly presented a persona of peace.

And so began a new cottage industry, “the Arafat tapes”.

Eventually screened in the Knesset and the US Congress, which caused much consternation to the   circles which sought to buttress the image of Arafat and the PLO as harbingers of peace.

However the death of Arafat in 2004 and the creation of the Palestine Authority recognized by 135 nations ,did nothing to diminish incitement which our TV crews continued to film, especially their schools and their summer camps .

By summer 2024, had produced 26 movies filmed on location in UNRWA facilities in Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem and Gaza, where the violent PA curriculum was being used.

Although these movies could  be easily accessed, Israel’s four tv stations will not feature these movies, even though these films provided the living proof of  preparations for the current war.

Along came Paramount pictures.

 Their representative in Israel asked if they could purchase footage to these films

Paramount pictures will now produce  their own movie on Palestinian indoctrination to a war of terror, based on  footage from our movies, which can be viewed at: https://www.cfnepr.com/205640/Movies
