Updated: The Samouni Case in Ha'aretz: Picture of Contradictions 8 mayo 2012

Aside from a photograph contradicting Amira Hass' claim that the Samouni family could not remove casualties for two weeks, there's another problem with her story: a key passage is plagiarized from B'Tselem. And, in yet another egregious ethical breach, Ha'aretz quietly scrubs its online article.

Pallywood

13-2-2009: Actualizado: El documental al completo

Pallywood (un portmanteau de Palestina y Hollywood) es el nombre de un documental de vídeo producido por el historiador estadounidense Richard Landes en 2005. Landes, que se define como un izquierdista pro-israelí,muestra en el vídeo cómo los periodistas palestinos, a veces con medios técnicos occidentales, montan escenas ficticias con el fin de desacreditar ante la opinión pública las políticas de Israel. A partir de las grabaciones en bruto, Landes analiza con detalle diversas escenas que tuvieron lugar en enfrentamientos en los territorios palestinos a partir de la llamada segunda intifada (septiembre de 2000) y que fueron ampliamente difundidas en todos los noticieros del mundo: unos sucesos acaecidos junto al asentamiento de Netzarim, en la Franja de Gaza; un falso funeral en Yenín; una mujer que supuestamente tuvo que dar a luz en medio de una carretera cisjordana por culpa de un control; y un hospital palestino supuestamente atacado por proyectiles anti-tanque israelíes.
