From Gaza, Tragedy and Propaganda

By David Frum (National Post-Canada):

Since 2000, hoaxing has emerged as a major tool of Palestinian propaganda.

Actually, there has been no change from the open terrorism phase of the PLO, most notably in the hoaxing incident when the PLO claimed to be negotiating peace during the 1985 hijacking of the Achille Lauro.

The U.S. website Second Draft has compiled documentary footage to reveal a startling series of faked funerals, staged gun battles, and professional weeping grandmothers.

They dub the Palestinian propaganda complex "Pallywood," and ask hard questions about the readiness - eagerness - of much of the world media to be deceived.

Actually twelve major news organizations were involved on a single day in propagating staged news in the biggest news scandal of all time, which was essentially unreported.
