Exposed: Pallywood Returns to Gaza
November 15, 2012 15:46 by Simon PloskerWhat happens when the cameras turn up at the scene of an airstrike in Gaza and there simply aren’t enough Palestinian dead and injured to produce dramatic footage that can be used against Israel in the international media? We’ve seen it before. Palestinians who appear to be injured or even dead for the benefit of the TV cameras turn out to be nothing of the sort once they are no longer the focus.
This is all the more so in Gaza, where Palestinian stringers are often filming in the absence of international news crews.
The example below is taken from a BBC interview on the targeted killing of Hamas military commander Ahmed Jabari. During the interview (full version here), footage from Gaza is shown. At 2:11 mins in, a Palestinian in a beige jacket and black T-shirt, presumably injured in the aftermath of an Israeli airstrike, is picked up and taken away. Yet at 2:44 mins, the same Palestinian has staged a remarkable recovery.
We’ve taken the relevant footage so that you can see for yourself.
Welcome to Pallywood!

I saw where a guy claimed his child was killed by Israel, they later found out that at the time Israel was on a cease fire. They are now finding out that a militant rocket misfired and killed the kid.
i wonder how many of the people actually injured are from their own rocket misfires and even blowing up in their faces.

A lot. And more importantly, since they purposely fire from schools, hospitals, apartment buildings, return fire is inevitably fatal to civilians.

The footage you refer to was provided by Routers to the news agencies of the world. It now seems that the footage was more Zionist propaganda against Palestinians. So when is Israel going to pack it’s bags? Since when did they pay the Palestianians rent for the land they occupy?
Hot debate. What do you think?

Trinity,
You are confusing land ownership with claims to statehood.
Israelis don’t live on private land owned by Arabs.
The so called “occupation” is about statehood, not property.
The lands in question have never been “Palestinian” state. They were part of Turkish, and then Later British states. Israel couldn’t occupy a state that never existed.

They own lots of land they bought. There were many attempts to get a two state solution. The Arabs refused and tried to wipe out Israel. They lost three wars of annihilation against the Jews. That’s why the territories are (legally) occupied. If you think there was a state called Palestine before 1948, tell me what international treaties it signed with another sovereign state, what international organizations it belonged to, what nations with which it exchanged embassies. I’ll give you 10,000 dollars for each answer. It is a fantasy. It didn’t exist. In your town a century ago there was probably this: “Jews go to Palestine.” Today it reads “Jews out of Palestine.” You know nothing about it.

In March 2010 the BBC ran the news headlined
Gaza youth ‘shot dead’ in border incident
it states categorically Muhammad al-Faramawi, 15, was killed on Tuesday by Israeli fire near Rafah, the Hamas-run health ministry said,
and
An official from the Hamas-run ministry of health said the teenager “was left bleeding for hours” before paramedics were able to get Israeli permission to evacuate him.
However, a few days later (Saturday) it miraculously appears that the boy has turned up alive and well at home. The BBC reported it, and put an ‘update’ at the very end of the first article.
But why does the BBC
1. Still accept Pali medics accounts?
2. Is the headline current?

I bet that Egypt’s Prime Minister Hisham Kandil wept as he read UN report that “he wept as he kissed the forehead of a child killed by HAMAS and not by an Israeli strike. Mahmoud Sadallah was AGAIN another child killed by Hamas rocket that missed its Israeli civilian target.
PCHR organisation admitted that most of the Gazans killed were militants and Mahmoud Sadallah and Aiman Aby Wardah were not listed as victims of Israeli airstrikes although one person who died of a heart attack WAS listed.
