'''Palestine Media Watch''' ('''PMWATCH''') was an organization established in October 2000 that monitored the U.S. mainstream media's coverage of the [[Israeli–Palestinian conflict]] and mobilized against what it deemed to be [[anti-Palestinian]] or pro-Israel bias in the coverage of the conflict. The organization focused mainly on issuing letter-writing action calls and publishing reports analyzing coverage. According to the group's founder, Ahmed Bouzid, "There's a paradigm we're trying to change: that Israelis are defending themselves and the Palestinians are attacking, and when the Israelis do something it must be a mistake or an act of self-defense."<ref name="urlMedia-watchers occupy both sides of Israeli-Palestinian conflict | Article from AP Worldstream | HighBeam Research">{{cite news |url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-67560380.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025211642/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-67560380.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 25, 2012 |title=Media-watchers occupy both sides of Israeli-Palestinian conflict |date=September 19, 2002|author=Joann Loviglio |work=[[Associated Press|AP Worldstream]] }}</ref> The organization's website has not been active since about 2009.
