A PA TV documentary about Palestinian paramedics includes a scene staged with actors that shows a Palestinian being shot in the head by unseen Israeli soldiers. (Hebrew speech is heard in the background.) The scene is very explicit, with “blood” spurting as a long, thick stream from the youth’s forehead.
From PM Watch.

<span>But it's meant to look staged so they could just claim that it's based on true events, that is, in the event anyone would want to make something out of it. </span>
<span>Turkey is staging entire TV shows with absolute made-up scenes and no one has even considered mentioning anything about it, except for Israeli channels that is.</span>
<span>imagine... an Israeli production portraying Turkish soldiers shooting Kurds (terrorists/freedom fighters) in Iraq, or incorporating a scene to a daily drama show where a Palestinian blogger was jailed for being an atheist - it would be on BBC, CNN, SKY, Guardian, charging Israel for obstructing the peace, faster than you can say libel.</span>
It's called documentary...
so that it would have nothing with dehumanizing anyone (if there was an Israeli figure behind the gun it wouldn't have made a difference)- but as PM Watch made it clear, it should be based on a true event otherwise it's libel. Even "documentaries" have rules.
Methinks, you are preaching to the converted now, Shira ;)
