bonnie Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Miraculous Recovery by Injured Gaza Man? Pallywood is in high gear as Gazans dupe BBC viewers in time-honored style. By Gil Ronen 11/15/2012, 5:25 PM Barely one day into the fighting in Hamas-run Gaza, the locals are hard at work playing the victim for the world's press. Footage from the BBC captured by watchdog group Honest Reporting shows a heavy man lying on the ground and being carried away by residents, apparently after being injured by an Israeli attack. Moments later, that same man again fills the frame, except he is walking about and obviously unhurt. The widespread staging of such victim situations is a favored tactic of Arabs fighting Israel and has come to be known as "Pallywood." Because Israel is stronger militarily, the Arabs cling to the underdog image of poor refugees under occupation and siege by evil Israelis, thus eliciting sympathy. Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It's not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument, or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make, period ... ... Wish more people would realize this.
