ISM (and Mondoweiss) Demonstrate How to Propagandize with YouTube
The Palestinian-led International Solidarity Movement (ISM) which sends foreigners to Palestinian areas to interfere with Israeli counter-terrorism activities and is behind the illegal flotilla efforts, and whose mission statement “recognize(s) the Palestinian right to resist Israeli violence and occupation via legitimate armed struggle” features a ridiculously crude YouTube propaganda film on their website homepage. The film is also posted on the radically anti-Israel Mondoweiss site.
While the description posted on YouTube describes the film as showing two protesters injured with live ammunition, nothing of the sort is seen on film. Propagandists bank on the fact that many people just read the brief description without bothering to view the entire film. Pay attention to 1:17 -2:10 to see a blatant example of Pallywood at its worst. What’s so perplexing is that despite the obviousness of the deception, anti-Israel propagandists feature this on their websites as an example of Israeli brutality.
