Nakba Day indeed for ‘Pallywood’ conspiracy freaks

Naming and shaming.

Following Wednesday’s arrest of a Border Policeman on suspicion of murdering a Palestinian teenager in a May 15 Nakba Day protest, here is a partial list of Israeli and pro-Israel figures who insinuated that the video of the shooting (which also showed the killing of another teenage protester) had been fabricated:

Defense Minister Moshe “Bogie” Ya’alon: “I’ve seen lots of films that were edited [to distort what had happened]. This film I’ve not yet seen, but I know the system.”

IDF spokesman Maj. Arye Shalicar: “That film was edited and does not reflect the reality of the day in question, the violence.”

Roni Daniel, Channel 2’s military correspondent and media warmonger supreme: Times of Israel: “Daniel suggested that the film may have been staged and faked. … His queries were not about whether two Palestinians had been shot that day, Daniel said, but rather about whether the NGO footage being disseminated indeed actually showed such shootings or was fabricated.”

Nov 2014

Media “watchdog” CAMERA, reprinting a story from right-wing Jewish newspaper Algemeiner: “The usual suspects are pushing the story and video of the alleged killings has gotten a huge number of hits on YouTube, but it’s pretty clear that something is amiss with the story the Palestinians have told the world about what happened at Betunia.”

Jonathan S. Tobin, editor of Commentary magazine online: “Those who cry bloody murder at the Israelis today will owe them an apology if, as may well be the case, the film is a fraud and the Nakba killings are a new version of the al-Dura blood libel. “

Yisrael Medad, co-founder of Israel’s Media Watch (another “watchdog”): “In concert, this is clear evidence of a Pallywood production. Showing the edited videos, then the fuller ones (showing the set-up) in succession — with appropriate narration would make this case with crystal clarity.”

These and countless other right-wingers have popularized the idea that whenever a video shows Israelis battering or killing Arabs without cause, the video is a fake, either staged or doctored. They come up with all sorts of seeming “discrepancies” to make their case, just like conspiracy freaks do to “prove” that the CIA killed Kennedy, or that Israel was behind 9/11, or that no one ever walked on the moon.

None of them have ever come close to demonstrating the inauthenticity of a single one of the many, many videos that show Israeli soldiers, police, settlers or ordinary hotheads abusing or killing Palestinians. Yet their claims are naturally accepted as truth by anti-Arab Jewish nationalists, who happen to run the present Israeli government and much of the Diaspora Jewish establishment. And so this campaign – which argues that the Palestinian victims in these videos were either never killed, or killed by other Palestinians – has become enormously influential in Israel and the Diaspora. It neutralizes, and to a great extent even reverses, the effect of each of these videos as they come to light: Instead of being clear evidence of Israeli brutality against Palestinians, the video may not be that at all – in fact, it may be evidence of Palestinian deceitfulness, or even of Palestinian willingness to kill their own so they can blame it on Israel.

Ultimately, the message of these right-wing Zionist truthers is that every allegation of Israeli wrongdoing against Palestinians, videotaped or not, is bullshit – none of it should be believed. This is not a fringe notion; it is the reigning view in Israel and the Diaspora establishment.

The campaign began after the infamous killing of 12-year-old Muhammad al-Dura while he was cowering behind his father in Gaza on September 30, 2000. Film of the incident taken by France 2 television was used by Palestinians and their supporters to whip up support for the second intifada. (In fact, the al-Duras were caught in a crossfire between Israeli troops and Palestinian gunmen; no can say for sure whose bullets struck them.) Boston University history Prof. Richard Landes, French “media analyst” Philippe Karsenty and others began publicizing “evidence” that the France 2 film was faked, with Landes coining the term “Pallywood” to describe it and others like it. They maintained that the al-Duras had either never been shot, or been shot by Palestinians out to blame Israel, and that the truth had been covered up since. Their “evidence” is a mountain of lurid garbage, which includes the claim that the blood seen in the video spreading across the boy’s midsection is actually a red cloth he was holding to look like blood on camera! The source of much of the al-Dura campaign’s “findings” come from by Nahum Shahaf, an Israeli physicist who cut his teeth as a conspiracy theorist on the Rabin assassination.

In May of last year, the Pallywood theory of the al-Dura killing was adopted in full by the Israeli government in a report commissioned by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and written by the Kuperwasser committee, whose members were drawn from the Foreign Ministry, Defense Ministry, IDF Spokesman’s Office and Israel Police. Netanyahu declared the findings to be “the truth.”

In May of this year, this same theory was applied by Moshe Ya’alon, Roni Daniel and many others to the video of the Nakba Day killings of Nadim Nuwara, 17, and Muhammad Salameh, also 17. The video was taken by a private security camera at the site of the protest. It was distributed by Defense for Children International – Palestine. The protest had included stone- and Molotov cocktail-throwing, but the video shows Nuwara and Salameh getting shot when they are walking along harmlessly, long after the violence of the protest had ended.

The unnamed Border Policeman was arrested on suspicion of murdering Nuwara – and his commander arrested for covering it up – based on the fatal bullet provided by Nuwara’s family. There’s a chance, of course, that they won’t be charged, and if charged there’s a chance, of course, they won’t be convicted. But the arrests by themselves should deeply discredit Ya’alon, Roni Daniel, CAMERA and all the others whose reaction to the video of the alleged murder of two Palestinian teenagers (no arrests have been made in Salameh’s killing) was to cry “hoax.” And for all those who are not anti-Arab Jewish nationalists, the arrests by themselves should be enough to debunk the Pallywood theory of the Nakba Day killings, and cast extreme skepticism, at the very least, on the theory in its entirety.

Going forward, or backward, there will be more videos like this one, appearing to show Palestinians getting killed without cause by Israelis. When they surface, people should remember what a certain anti-Arab Jewish nationalist declared in a different context, and say: If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, let’s not immediately cross off the possibility that it’s a duck.

You can make the point you want without racial slurs. Then we can discuss if your point is valid.

A lot of people (including me) believe that the Western media's portrayal of I/P is biased towards Israel, but we manage to make that argument without using words like "the j**spaper." I'm not sure why you think "Pallywood" is any more acceptable. It has nothing to do with whether you are right or I am. It is simply a matter of having a civilized discussion without bigoted terminology.

You know, Islam isn't a race either, but you seem to understand that "Islamiwood" would be inappropriate. How about making this simple and not using terms that are intentionally bigoted and derogatory towards any minority group, period.

You could easily criticize Palestinian leadership without ethnic slurs. But you choose not to. You go for the ethnic slurs instead. One has to wonder why.

So instead of discussing the topic at hand you dismiss shira entirely on the contrived basis of being "one of those people" who use false allegations of bigotry to dismiss their arguments.

Hypocrisy much?

Aside from the fact that shira doesn't do that, while you just did, you still haven't done much to actually negate her argument, that the term pallywood isn't a a racist or ethnic slur because Palestinians aren't a race or ethnicity. You then just repeat the charge again as though it hadn't just been disproven.

It's nice to know exactly who frequents this forum.

The argument that it's not an ethnic slur because Palestinian is not an ethnicity is one of the dumbest I've heard. First of all, it's wrong: Palestinians are an ethnicity. Arabs are not all the same. Like East Asians, or Africans, or Caucasians, or any other large ethnic groups, there are plenty of sub-ethnicities.

But more to the point, trying to find semantic excuses to justify overt bigotry is simply obscene. It would be like using racial slurs against Mexicans and then claiming that "Mexican" isn't really an ethnicity, the ethnicity is "Hispanic", so it's OK to call Mexicans whatever you want.

It's pretty simple. Don't use ethnic slurs. There's already enough controversy in this topic without people tossing around terms like "Pallywood" and "Jewspaper". How anyone thinks that these kinds of terms can possibly elevate the level of discourse is beyond me. Whatever point someone has to make can be made without the bigoted language.

Tue Nov 18, 2014, 05:29 AM

You're wrong. Palestinians do not constitute an ethnic group. It is a national identity, that encompasses many different ethnicities and religions. For example, if Palestinians comprised their own, distinct ethnicity, as you assume, then certain ethnic groups indigenous to Palestine such as Bedouins, Druze, Samaratins, and Baha'i could not be considered Palestinians themselves. Nor would they be considered sub-ethnicities for obvious reasons.

more importantly, they don't have any history of being considered a distinct ethnicity. That isn't to say there isn't a palestinian identity. Just that it's a national one versus an ethnic one.

ut more to the point, trying to find semantic excuses to justify overt bigotry is simply obscene.


This is neither a semantic argument nor is it bigotry in any sense. Your attempt to avoid any meaningful discussion by wrongfully accusing others of bigotry is both gross and obvious. The term is derogatory, but is in no way racist. You need to learn to appreciate that not every concept you find offensive is also racist.

Out of curiosity, what term would you find acceptable to describe the creators of palestinian propaganda films and other materials?




It would be like using racial slurs against Mexicans and then claiming that "Mexican" isn't really an ethnicity, the ethnicity is "Hispanic", so it's OK to call Mexicans whatever you want.


I think you're having trouble coming up with an example because using the term "Mexican" isn't considered a slur.

Is "Bollywood" racist? The only difference is that Pallywood is used derisively. But not in reference to their race or ethnicity, but regarding the negative propaganda they produce.

You should note that even Derfner acknowledges that al-Dura might have been shot by Palestinian terrorists.

The raw footage clearly shows ambulances being staged for the cameras and fake injured people being loaded into them. Additionally there are numerous people walking around in the exact same area as the al-Duras showing no concern at all about being shot.

If you read the article carefully

You should note that even Derfner acknowledges that al-Dura might have been shot by Palestinian terrorists.

The 3 french journalists mentioned this in their testimony after viewing the rushes.

Our opponents here can view the rushes 100 times, but you won't find any ever acknowledging foul play. Ever. They can't do it.

look at the holes in the wall, they show that the shots were from straight on which is where the Palestinian terrorist position was. The Israeli position was at an extreme angle, so the bullet holes would have reflected that. Walls don't lie, the forensic evidence is really clear in this case.

Or did Landes photoshop them in your opinion? To help you out, the video footage is identical. Blood somehow moves from the leg to the shirt magically.



And then of course the last few frames of the video showing the boy peeking at the camera, no hands on his wounds at all. Just covering his face.

Who shot al-Dura if not the IDF?

I'm not in denial of the Nakba day events. Looks bad for the Israeli officer who shot and killed the youth. If it turns out that way he deserves to be locked up.

The point is that there's very good reason to suspect foul play, given the history of this conflict going back to at least al-Dura. The footage of the Nakba day protests just minutes before the incident shows some staging.

One of my favorite moments of pure fiction is this fake funeral in which the dead come to life, scaring the shit out of some folks...

Muhammad Al-Dura: The boy who wasn't really killed
Not only was 12-year-old Gazan Muhammad al-Dura not killed by IDF fire in 2000 – he was not even hurt.

That was the preliminary finding of a special commit- tee formed several years ago by Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon and headed by Brig.- Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser, the former head of the Research and Analysis Division of the IDF Military Intelligence Directorate, and the current director-general of the Strategic Affairs Ministry.

Dura was allegedly killed by IDF fire during the second intifada as he crouched behind his father, Jamal, crying. He became the most potent symbol of the Palestinian struggle; his name can still be heard around the world as a symbol of the Palestinian struggle.

At first, Israel did not deny that its forces had hit Dura, who had been caught in the crossfire between Palestinian and IDF forces at the Netzarim junction on September 30, 2000. The IDF admitted that it had hit and killed the boy. Following an investigation, however, the official army version changed: the IDF did not actually hit the boy.

But it was too late – the narrative had already gone viral.

Al-Dura is a prime example, but there are plenty of others.

Can't blame folks for questioning the Nakba Day events, even though it looks like we're wrong. We had reason to believe from past events that we were seeing another hoax.

That's the point.

=====================

Of course Team Palestine BDS'ers will deny any disinformation campaign, staged scenes, etc. To acknowledge even one is to open the door for others...

Sat Nov 15, 2014, 01:49 AM

Whenever a Palestinian is capped by an Israeli an army of hasbaritos descends on the event to...

1. Say it never happened.

2. Call the event a hoax.

3. Call the Palestinians liars.

4. Attempt to deligitimize the event.

5. Blame the Palestinians as the cause of the death.

6. Divert attention away from the event by any means possible.

And when it appears very likely that the event, aka murders of Palestinians are the result of the Israelis, they give a watered down admission of guilt then go right back into their morally bankrupt attacks on the Palestinians: waiting for the next tragedy to unfold where they can start the denial process all over again.

Such amaturish and ugly hipocrites.

....that it's difficult to swallow in whole most accusations leveled at the Jewish state. So many turn out being bullshit.

That's why each accusation is treated with caution and suspicion. Like the doozy reported by Maan, The Nation, and Mondoweiss (your fave sources) about Palestinian soccer players shot in the legs at least 10-12 times by Israeli forces. Total fiction. New shit is fabricated each and every day by Jew haters worldwide.

================

You're quite aware of this industry of lies against the Jewish state. It'd be nice to see someone from Team BDS acknowledge that this hateful industry of slandering, demonization and incitement exists.

Anyone!
