PMW: Israeli soldiers shoot Palestinian in staged scene in program about paramedics on PA TV
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.
At the end of the program, as the credits are presented, the footage shows the TV crew and makeup team drinking the false “blood” before applying it to the (very much alive) actor’s forehead.
