In 2005, Professor Richard Landes of Boston University produced an 18-minute online documentary video called Pallywood: According to Palestinian Sources. Landes and other pro-Israel advocates argue that the Israeli government is insufficiently robust in countering Palestinian accounts of events in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.
In his video, Landes shows Arab-Israeli conflict-related footage that was taken mostly by freelance Palestinian video journalists. He argues that systematic media manipulation (which he dubs “Pallywood”) dates back to at least the 1982 Lebanon War, and argues that broadcasters are too uncritical of the veracity of Palestinian freelance footage.
He focuses in particular on the case of Muhammad al-Durrah, a 12-year-old Palestinian who was widely reported to have been killed by Israeli gunfire in the Gaza Strip on September 30, 2000 at the beginning of the Second Intifada. The shooting was filmed by a Palestinian freelance cameraman and aired on the France 2 television channel with narration by the veteran French-Israeli journalist Charles Enderlin, who was not present at the incident. It made worldwide headlines and the conduct of the Israel Defence Forces was heavily criticized internationally, severely damaging Israel’s public standing on the world stage.
Landes questions the authenticity of the footage and disputes whether al-Durrah was killed at all, arguing that the entire incident was staged by the Palestinians. An investigation by Israel after the shooting found that the boy was killed but did not determine whether he was shot by the IDF or Palestinians. Landes based his argument on an incident earlier in the day that he alleges shows that “Palestinian cameramen, especially when there are no Westerners around, engage in the systematic staging of action scenes.

A new guy in town walks into a bar and notices a very large jar behind the counter, which is filled to the brim with ten-dollar bills. The man guesses there must be thousands of dollars in it and approaches the bartender to ask: “What´s up with the jar?”
Bartender: “Well, you pay ten dollars and if you pass three tests, then you get all the money.”
Man: “What are the three tests?”
Bartender: “Pay first. Those are the rules.”
So the guy gives him the ten bucks and the bartender adds it to the jar.
Bartender: “OK, here´s what you have to do. First you have to drink that whole gallon of pepper tequila – the whole thing at once – And you can´t make a face while doing it. Second, there´s a pit bull chained up out back with a sore tooth. You have to remove the tooth with your bare hands. Third, there is a 90-year-old woman upstairs who´s never had an orgasm in her life. You gotta make things right for her.”
Man: “Well, I know I´ve paid my ten bucks but I´m not an idiot; I won´t do it. You have to be nuts to drink a gallon of tequila and get crazier from there.”
Bartender: “Your call. But your money stays in the jar.”
Well, as time goes on and the man drinks a few, he asks, “Wherez zat teeqeelah?”
He grabs the gallon of tequila with both hands and downs it with a big slurp. Tears are streaming down his cheeks, but he doesn´t make a face. Next he staggers out back and soon all the people inside hear a huge scuffle going on. They hear barking and screams, yelps, and growling, then eventually silence.
Just when they think the man must surely be dead, he staggers back into the bar with his shirt ripped and big scratches all over his body.
“Now,” he says, “Where´s that woman with the sore tooth?”
