Help Stamp Out Pallywood!

Let's work together to help Stamp Out Pallywood for good!!

the first step: Spreading the Awareness:

"The term "Pallywood" refers to the staging of scenes by Palestinian journalists in order to present the Palestinians as hapless victims of Israeli aggression. They are able to succeed in this endeavor in large part due to the credulity and eagerness of the Western press to present these images, which reinforce the image of the Palestinian David struggling valiantly against the overpowering Israeli Goliath. Pallywood has led to astonishing lapses in Western journalistic standards in which badly staged scenes regularly appear on the news as "real events."

How about checking out some videos on Pallywood and the Muhammad Al-Dura hoax:

Let's finish up by reading about some awful Palestinian media hoaxes:

1. the biggest one: Muhammed Al-Dura

Myth, Fact, and the al-Dura Affair

2. The Tale of Tuvia Grossman

Victim of the Media War

3. The Jenin "Massacre"

Jenin: Anniversary of a Battle

U.N. Report: (Jenin) Masscre Claim Unfounded

Jenin Jenin Film-Maker Admits Fraud

4. MYTH: Ariel Sharon's Visit to the Temple Mount Provoked the Riots

"FACT: Sharon came to the Temple Mount unarmed and without violence. Sharon's visit was so non-confrontational in tone that he was even accompanied on his visit by Arab members of the Israeli Parliament!

Palestinians say he shouldn't have been there in the first place. Yet why should the Moslem claim to their third-holiest site override Sharon's right as a Jew to set foot on the single most holy place for Jews?

Sharon's visit was an excuse for violence, not the real reason. Days before Sharon's visit, Arafat met with the tanzim, his armed militia, and told them to "be ready." Palestinian violence had already begun before Sharon's visit. The prior week, an Israeli Border Patrol soldier was murdered by a double roadside bomb inside of Israel. The morning before Sharon's visit to the Mount, a Palestinian policeman, on a joint patrol with an Israeli partner, used his automatic rifle to murder his partner, and then wounded another Israeli policeman.

The rioting that followed Sharon's visit was not spontaneous. When Sharon ascended the Mount, he saw the mounds of boulders which had been prepared in advance for pelting Jewish worshipers at the Western Wall below. The next day, the preacher at al Aqsa mosque called at prayers to "eradicate the Jews from Palestine." Official Palestine television began playing over and over archival footage of the Palestinian intifada of 1987-1993 showing young people out in the streets throwing stones. Arafat then closed the schools and declared a general strike, causing everyone to go out into the street."
