Pallywood (a portmanteau of "Palestinian" and "Hollywood") refers to news events that are alleged to have been staged by Palestinian and other cameramen to portray Israel in an unfavorable light.[1][2][3]

[edit] History
Events alleged to represent Palestinian media manipulation date back to the 1982 war in Lebanon [4] but assertions of media manipulation were particularly prominent during the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict.[5]
[edit] Examples
Several incidents have been called examples of "Pallywood". These include coverage of the 1982 Sabra and Shatila massacres in Lebanon; Ariel Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount in 2000; the reported killing of Muhammad al-Dura in the same year;[6][7][8][9] and the Battle of Jenin in 2002[4].
[edit] Origin
The term "Pallywood" was popularized in 2005 by Professor Richard Landes of Boston University in his 18-minute documentary film, Pallywood, According to Palestinian Sources. [10]
