Maybe the 3,000+ Palestinians killed in the conflict were faking it too?

Apart from anything else, I guess it proves that Palestinian journalism is exactly the same as it is everywhere else?

lol

It's my impression that the "targets" of this video is not the Palestinians, but rather the US and French media producers that fail to bring the full story?

For a war thats been going for 50 years they are pretty good odds.

That's the figure since the second Intifada...

Well I was refering to the "targets" of the original poster, but I'm not sure how you can say the Palestinians are not a target of that video (even if we agree Western media is also a target)?

Regardless they are good odds.

Well, certainly some Palestinians are (the ones exposed as fakers), but the Palestinians as such I don't see haggled. Take the family"walking through the battlefield. Or the cars driving by. They are portrayed as the sane group. Clearly, the end impression is that of a small group (say 100-200) of trouble makers, and an uncritical western media that labs it all up.

Our most right wing news-channel in Denmark had some quite interesting reports on the Pallywood-phenomenon some years ago. They would show how Palestinians and Israelis - on cue - everyday would meet at some specific check point and throw rocks and shoot at each other. The check point was close to a place where foreign reporters were stationed, and we TV-viewers were shown how the reporters could stand on a small hill and report from the "fighting" every day. Another installment showed an area where Palestinians every day lobbed mortars at the Israeli, and the Israeli fired back. Right next to it a farmer was ploughing his field. Not even looking up as shells fell to the ground within a few kilometers. I can only begin to imagine how these events would have been shown by the sensationalis US media.

Eh?

I am with Israel when it comes to honesty. I am also impressed by the fact that Israel dosent give a shit about this; they prolly watch the whole drama right in front of them and they would have said 'who gives a shit, let these guys play'. I really admire the confidence Israel has in itself.
