Pallywood is a term ironically used to describe the alleged practice by Palestinian activists to stage events that press photographers and video teams will distribute as if it were authentic footage.
This phenomenon reflects the importance of winning the "media war" by providing journalists with imagery that presents one side of the conflict. Examples of such allegations include:
- Riots and unrest that did not start until the press arrived
- Falsification of the death of Muhammad al-Durrah in September, 2000
- Staged photographs following the battle of Jenin in 2002
- Staged funeral processions and casualties
It is also the name of a film produced by Richard Landes discussing this topic.
