Interesting Peulah on Tuesday
I wanted to let evveryone know of an interesting\thought provoking peulah (activity) that my kvutzah (group) did on Tuesday afternoon. We watched a 20 minute documentary called "Pallywood," which addresses the claim of staged riots and violence relating to the Israeli and Palestinain conflict.
The video led us into a conversation about media bias, how one chooses sources and addresses their reliability, and how the Internet has affected media and the way people react to it.
Take a look at the video as it's quite provoking. But, remember that everyone has a bias. I'm curious about what you guys (the readers) think is biased in this video and what does it seem to imply? Post a comment with your thoughts.

The movie is eye-opening. I imagined how Israeli soldiers might feel, watching these type of docu-dramas being filmed; "Why should I show restraint? Why should I uphold moral principles when I am falsely villified?"
That said, the Pallywood film makers would have been better served by presenting a less emotional narrative.
