I recently posted on evidence that the famous footage of the 12-year Palestinian boy, supposedly killed by Israeli soldiers, was faked.
An excellent Internet documentary has now appeared, showing outtakes from all kinds of footage, apparently faked by Palestinians:
- A supposed corpse, dropped by pallbearers, gets up and walks back onto the board they were carrying him on.
- A youth throws a rock, then (all in one continuous shot), plays the part of a victim who needs to be carried to help -- without anything wounding him in the meantime.
- Civilians direct soldiers on what to do for the camera.
- A doctor who has just delivered a baby coaches the father on what to say to a reporter when pretending that he'd been prevented from reaching the hospital and had to deliver the baby himself.
- A man claims his hospital was hit by 12 tank rockets -- yet there is no damage to the hospital.
- A supposed casualty lying in the road makes a cell phone call.
- The NY Times falls for it.
- 60 Minutes falls for it.
The documentary, called "Pallywood", is 18 minutes long. Check it out.
