Report: Arabic News Service Sanitizes English Translations

ARUTZ SHEVA - By Ezra HaLevi - March 5, 2007

(IsraelNN.com) A popular Arab news site has been caught ‘sanitizing’ Arabic hate terminology in its English translations.

The Ma’an News Service publishes several articles a day in Arabic that it then translates and releases in English. Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) released a report Tuesday noting that Ma'an’s Arabic-language articles include the hate ideology espoused by Islamic terrorist groups - greatly watered down in English.

“The releases deny Israel’s right to exist, express reverence for suicide terrorists and justify terrorist murder as ‘resistance,’” PMW Director Itamar Marcus said. “But when translated into English, the same stories go through a sterilization process to hide from the English readers the terrorist ideology Ma'an is helping to propagate.”

Marcus says that the Netherlands and Denmark may be specific targets for the deceptive pieces, as the PA does not wish to risk losing those countries' funding to the Ma’an News Service.

One example noted by the PMW report was Ma’an’s article following the January 29 suicide bombing that killed three Israelis in Eilat. The Arabic version included the language of the terror organizations, while the English was cleansed with changes and omissions, including changes to the language of direct quotes.

In English Ma'an accurately reported that the event happened "in the southern Israeli resort of Eilat." But in the original Arabic, Eilat was described as a Palestinian city occupied by Israel ("Eilat, located in the south of occupied Palestine" and " - carried out a brave deed and for the first time in occupied Eilat”) – reflecting the assertion that all of Israel is “occupied Palestine.”
