The term Pallywood, a portmanteau of Palestinian and Hollywood, refers to alleged stagings [1] of news events by Palestinian and other cameramen to portray Israel in an unfavorable light.[2]
The term was coined with the publication of a short 2005 documentary video Pallywood, produced by American historian Richard Landes of Boston University, in which he argued that Palestinian video journalists stage events in order to bias viewers against Israel and win the media war between the Palestinians and the Israel Defense Forces, as well as an attempt to influence the broader perception of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Landes believes that this type of propaganda dates back to at least the war in Lebanon in 1982.[3] The term was widely adopted by right-wing bloggers, particularly during the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict where assertions of media manipulation were also made.[4]
