These categorically false and dangerous allegations, often dubbed ‘Pallywood’ have been wielded by Zionists against Palestinians in a systematic, sustained and decades-long smear campaign accusing Palestinians of fabricating or staging events to garner sympathy and manipulate international opinion.
"Pallywood" itself is an insidious Israeli-constructed myth designed to discredit legitimate Palestinian suffering and resistance that gained prominence in the early 2000s, particularly after the Israeli-violence against protestors in the Second Intifada.
