Pallywood (a portmanteau of "Palestine" and "Hollywood") is a disinformation campaign used to falsely accuse Palestinians for supposedly faking suffering and civilian deaths during their conflict with Israel.[1][2][3][4] The term came into currency following the killing of Muhammad al-Durrah in 2000 during the Second Intifada, involving a challenge to the veracity of photographic evidence.[5] Israeli pundits have used the term to dismiss videos showing Israeli violence or denial of Palestinian suffering.[3] During the Israel–Hamas war, it has been used to dismiss Palestinian suffering such as claiming dead Palestinian babies as fake dolls,[6][7][2] and is regarded by some news sources as a conspiracy theory.[2][7][8] The term and related disinformation has been used and circulated as a propaganda tool by official Israeli government profiles.[1]

- But pro-Israel media-watchdog advocates have gone further, arguing that the footage is a prime example of what has been dubbed "Pallywood" - media manipulation, distortion and outright fraud by the Palestinians (and other Arabs, such as the Reuters photographer caught faking photos during the Second Lebanon War), designed to win the public relations war against Israel.
