Pallywood (Template:Lang-ar Bālīwūd; Template:Lang-he), a portmanteau of "Palestinian" and "Hollywood" (or "Bollywood"), is a coinage that has been used by some pro-Israeli media watchdog advocates, among others, to describe alleged "media manipulation, distortion and outright fraud by the Palestinians and other Arabs ... designed to win the public relations war against Israel." The incidents of the Muhammad al-Durrah tapes and the 2006 Lebanon War photographs controversies (dubbed "Hizbollywood" or "Hezbollywood") are notable events which have been cited as examples.
