I found this on Gaming-Age forum: http://www.israelnn.com/news.php3?id=57144 IsraelNN.com) According to the Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) research organization, the Palestinian Authority has lifted music from a popular Microsoft Corporation video game and incorporated it into a video inciting against Israeli soldiers. As PMW director Itamar Marcus reports, "Palestinian Authority TV has taken the music of a new popular Microsoft video game, Halo, and incorporated it into its newest hate video. According to Microsoft, Halo is being used by PATV without its permission." Marcus explains, "For many years, a mainstay of PATV has been the repeated broadcasting of hate videos for children. Dominant themes have been the portrayal of violence as heroic, death for Allah (Shahada) as a goal for children, and the depiction of Israelis as murderers." The current short video superimposes targets on images of Arab children, implying that Israeli soldiers are targeting and killing the children. As reported by PMW, "The Halo hate video has been broadcast hundreds of times since November 30, 2003, as a filler between programs ?as often as six to seven times a day." PMW wrote to Microsoft Corp. asking for their reaction to the incorporation of their video game music track as part of PA incitement. Microsoft Customer Service wrote to PMW, "As a corporation, Microsoft does not maintain any involvement with activities of this nature. We were not aware of any media from the Palestinian Authority nor was permission granted to incorporate the Halo soundtrack as background music." The video incorporating the Halo music can be seen on the PMW website. http://www.isratv.com/video/filler128.asx ---- Kinda sad that Marty's work is being used for something like this. :-/
