Anyone who heard about UNICEF funding Palestinian group which ran an anti-Israel (and anti-American) ad will be glad to hear that as result of PMW publicizing the incident, UNICEF is now reviewing their partnership with PYALARA.

Last week PMW reported that a Palestinian NGO, PYALARA, had published a hate advertisement with a picture of a giant ax destroying a Star of David. The bottom of the ad had the logos of UNICEF, PA TV and PYALARA (Palestinian Youth Association for Leadership and Rights Activation).

UNICEF has responded that the logo was used without its permission. It has further stated that although UNICEF has been funding PYALARA with $100,000 a year, the most recent agreement expired in January 2010. UNICEF adds, “In light of the latest development, UNICEF will be carefully reviewing any proposed future partnerships with PYALARA.”
