Pallywood

A term coined to downplay Israeli atrocities committed against Palestinians. A portmanteau of "Palestine" and "Hollywood" used as a derogatory label to discredit Israeli war crimes by alleging the images are media manipulation by some Palestinians designed to win the public opinion. The term came into circulation following the murder of young Palestinian child Muhammad al-Durrah in 2000 by IDF forces. Israeli pundits have used the term to dismiss videos showing Israeli violence or Palestinian suffering.
Did you see how the Israeli occupation carpet bombed the Palestinian children? Yes, I did but you know what the Western media is going to say… it’s just Pallywood again.
