Demonization of Israel in staged
bloody scene in PA TV program

by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik

A PA TV documentary about Palestinian paramedics, intended to show a medic's typical experiences, includes a scene staged with actors that shows a Palestinian being intentionally targeted by unseen Israeli soldiers, then being shot in the forehead. (Hebrew speech is heard in the background.)

The video indicates the Israeli soldiers' "intentional" targeting of the young man with a red circle marking his forehead. When he is "hit," a thick stream of "blood" shoots out from a hole in his head as it would from a water hose or a faucet.

As the credits are presented at the end of the program, the footage shows a member of the video crew drinking the false "blood" before applying it as makeup to the actor's forehead -- perhaps to reinforce the fact that the video was staged.

Palestinian Media Watch has documented the systematic demonization of Israel by the PA through libels and lies, including:
Israel is intentionally spreading AIDS
Israel is intentionally spreading drugs and prostitution
Israel is doing medical experiments on prisoners
Israel killed Arafat with poison
