Pallywood Video: Anti-Israel Groups Allege Wounded 'Palestinian' Civilian Killed by Israeli Sniper

This is "Pallywood" propaganda, but big media outlets are running with it anyway, at London's Daily Mail, for example, with the disclaimer that the clip has not been independently verified, "The moment 'unarmed civilian was shot dead by an Israeli sniper' as he desperately searched for his family: Palestinians release shocking video."

And Telegraph UK, has an interview with Mohammed Abedullah of the International Solidarity Movement, who alleges that an Israeli sniper killed the wounded "Palestinian." Watch, "Activists release video purporting to show Palestinian shot by Israeli sniper."

Here's the report from the ISM, "War crime: video shows sniper killing of wounded Gaza civilian."



Robert Mackey, at the New York Times, also spins the "Israeli sniper" narrative, uncritically reporting the claims of virulent anti-Israel leftist Joe Catron:


And Catron tweets:


CAMERA calls out the media bias and anti-Israel propaganda, "Robert Mackey's 'Open Source' Journalism Anything But."

Mackey has seen a full 15-minute clip of the incident but has refused to release the video to CAMERA for independent verification, so there's that.

More, "Did Newsweek Promote Fake Atrocity Video? Will ISM Produce Video for Inspection?"

And the video is debunked here, "A FAKE ATROCITY VIDEO FROM GAZA."

Yep, a total fake.
