Pollywood Video - Palistine Faking It

[davidfxl]

Background: My Daughter is a practicing homeopath in a pioneering way by treating life traumas with homeopathic remedies. I have been working with her since reading Political Ponerology as to the practical application in treating psychopathic effects on peoples lives. As part of a school of homepaths she forwarded this link to the school email list.

This may seem random but I feel I have to send this link to people I know after I started reading this book called Political Ponerology. The website features a description of the book and a short video. Please investigate if you feel so inclined.

The response she recieved back from her instructor was simply this:

And now, for a dose of reality:

Topic Recommendation: The link above is for a video on youtube about Palistine (widely now known as Pallywood). This was my first exposure to this video. Where did it originate and what was the purpose? It is being broadcast widely as proof that Palistine is just faking the effects of occupation. Has anyone else seen this and what are your thoughts?

Hi davidfxl -

I just watched the video and there's no doubt in my mind it is an Israeli propaganda video. Scenes appear to be taken out of context and narrated in a manner consistent with talking to a child. Anyone can pick and choose clips, arrange them how one wishes, and narrate however convenient to suit ones objective. And, the objective here is to make the Palestinians appear as if they are the instigators and merely fakers to attract attention from the international community.

Anyone taking the larger view of the Israeli - Palestinian conflict knows for a fact Palestinian life is not an act.

Thanks for posting the link to the video.

On YouTube the registered user who posted the video is "mknight1". Clicking on the name takes you to a profile where the name is listed as "Mishlocha", so the individual is presumably Mishlocha Knight.

If you google Mishlocha, not much shows up but google asks you if you meant mishloach. Doing a search for mishloach shows the following:

Purim
Purim, which is celebrated on the 14th of Adar (February-March), commemorates the foiling of a plot by a Persian minister (Haman) to kill all the Jews in Persia. Purim is observed by Jews around the world. Characterized by feasting and merriment, Purim is typically celebrated in the company of family and friends in a synagogue.

The Purim story is recounted in the Book of Esther (Megillat Esther), which is contained in the Ketuvim section of the Bible (Tanalch). According to the Megillah of Esther, Haman decides to kill all the Jews in Persia after Mordecai, a Jew, refuses to bow down to him. After the Persian king Ahaseurus approves Haman's plot, Mordecai and his niece Esther, who is also the wife of King Ahaseurus, decide to expose Haman's plan. On the 14th of Adar, Esther succeeds in foiling the plot, and Haman is hung by orders of King Ahaseurus. The holiday is called Purim, which means lots because Haman is said to have drawn lots in order to determine the day on which the Jews should be slaughtered.

On the 13th of Adar, the day before Purim, Orthodox Jews observe the fast of Esther which lasts until sundown. Usually, two Purim services are held in the synagogue. The first is held in the evening of the 13th of Adar while the second is held on the morning of the 14th. During both services, the Megillat Esther is read in its entirety. While the Book of Esther is being read, it is customary for children to rattle their graggers or noisemakers in a symbolic attempt to blot out the name of Haman. In the late afternoon, a festive meal is eaten. Among the foods typically enjoyed are boiled eggs, beans, and three-cornered pies known as hamantashen (Haman's pockets). Originally they were called Mohn-tashen, or poppy-seed pockets, but the similarity of the name to Haman made them associated with the villain of Persia. In Hebrew they are called Haman's ears.

A curious and oblique reference to canabalism...

The Book of Esther prescribes certain rituals which are to be performed on Purim. Emphasizing the importance of good deeds and charity, the Megillah of Esther states that individuals must give gifts both to friends and to the poor. Specifically, Jews are required to give two portions of food to at least one friend and must give money to two poor individuals.

On the basis of Italian influence, the holding of a Purim carnival has become common in many countries. During this carnival, Jews dress up in costumes and often perform plays which retell the story of Purim. In Israel, for example, Purim is observed by the holding of the Adloyada festival in Tel Aviv.


Mishloach Manot
It is obligatory to send a gift which consists of at least two 'portions' to another person. Both men and women are included in this Mitzvah.

Only what is edible or drinkable without further cooking or preparation, is considered a 'portion.' One may therefore send cooked meats or fish, pastry goods, fruit, sweets, wine and other beverages. And it is the more praiseworthy to send portions to as many friends as possible. Even better, however, is to give more gifts to the poor than to friends.

One of the most popular food items that has been used for this Mitzvah is the Hamentash, a calorific (fattening) concoction consisting of dough shaped into the form of a triangle (with just two possibilities allowed - exactly sixty degrees in each angle or an isosceles right triangle - just kidding!), with filling of various kinds.

Even a poor person is required to fulfill the Mitzvah of 'Mishloach Manot.' If one is unable to do so directly, he may exchange his own food for that of his friend; both of whom would thus fulfill their obligations.

The Mitzvah of Mishloach Manot may not be fulfilled with money, clothing and the like, but only with foods or beverages.

It is proper to send portions sufficient to convey regard for the recipient. One should not send an item so minute as to be worthless in the eyes of the poor.

If at all possible, these 'portions' should be sent by messengers, rather than to be delivered personally. And though it is said of all other mitzvot: 'It is more of a Mitzvah if done personally, than if done through a messenger,' this Mitzvah is different. Since the term, 'Mishloach Manot' (the sending of portions), is the term used in the 'Megillah' the proper procedure for fulfilling the Mitzvah, is to do so by messenger. Nevertheless, if one delivers his Mishloach Manot personally, he still fulfills his obligation.

The Mitzvah of Mishloach Manot should be performed by day.

A mourner is free of the obligation, but some hold that it rests even upon him, except that one in mourning should not send gifts which would be a source of rejoicing.

The Mitzvah of Mishloach Manot and the giving of gifts to the poor, during the days of Purim, are prescribed in order to recall the brotherly love which Mordechai and Esther awoke among all Jews. When there is inner unity among Jews, even the wrongdoers among them become righteous.

I'm not exactly sure where this leads, but it is almost certainly tied to Israeli interests, one way or another. Interesting that there is this "connection" to yet another persecution story.

I still cannot grok how this video relates to "Political Ponerology".

The individual has been a YouTube member for ~9 months, or the end of January. The video itself was posted 7 months ago, so perhaps the video is to be a Mishloach Manot gift to the Palestinian people.

I'm not exactly sure where this leads, but it is almost certainly tied to Israeli interests, one way or another.

This is quite possible rs, although I personally would not be surprised that indeed it also could be a PR stunt that comes from some Palestinians. Why would we expect or anticipate differently?

In such case, it did strike me however how all is so easily commercialized. But why did it surprise me? It is always possible to find people to do some stunts in order to get some money. Palestinians are not holy of course and in their structure too, big amounts of money can be used by a small fraction, to move certain things. And maybe even with the conviction of doing "good".

IF such would be the case, still this movie does not sweep away what the state of Israel is DOing. The facts are there, on the table. And a video like this has the tendency to the unawake beholder to sweep away ALL from the table, also the facts that point to a certain reality.

I'm sure you realize that pathocracy is a world wide phenomenon, with many claws and many fall back positions. It simply is that way because of the fact that there are simply lot's of divisions and layers to our existence.

And just imagine the kind of PR stunts that bigger structures can use to get things moving.

Interesting that there is this "connection" to yet another persecution story.

I am sorry rs , but here I seem to be missing something. Which persecution story are you talking about? And how does it relate?

I still cannot grok how this video relates to "Political Ponerology".

I was more lucky. When I read the first part of davidfxl ...

Background: My Daughter is a practicing homeopath in a pioneering way by treating life traumas with homeopathic remedies. I have been working with her since reading Political Ponerology as to the practical application in treating psychopathic effects on peoples lives.

... the first thought that came to my mind was sudden recognition. Not the homeopathy part but the fact that we could shift our efforts to a sort of de-ponerisation process, and maybe even make a job out of it. This was exactly what my heart was longing for. Thank you David! Lots and lots of people are under the influence of psychopaths and/or psychopathic systems, cultures, management systems and what have you not. They have to endure severe shocks at times that when not taken care of as in with "taking a warriors stance", will result in a loss of many functions that are important for the survival, of ones thinking capabilities for instance, of ones feeling and intuition, and of so much more. We can't change genetics (of those with different brains). But we sure could try to take care of people who became victim of the ponerisation process.

And the video touches such a macrosocial ponerisation process. In that respect, seeing such video COULD (emphasis here) prove to be more curative than a homeopathic treatment.

I am sorry rs , but here I seem to be missing something. Which persecution story are you talking about? And how does it relate?

From the description:
"Purim, which is celebrated on the 14th of Adar (February-March), commemorates the foiling of a plot by a Persian minister (Haman) to kill all the Jews in Persia."

I still cannot grok how this video relates to "Political Ponerology".

I was more lucky.

Maybe, but my point was I was not sure what the "instructor" was trying to communicate. To me there are a couple of possibilities:

1) "look, see, this is a perfect example of ponerization where evil forces co-opt a tragedy for their own ends"
2) "look, see, the whole tie in of political ponerology to the Palestinian problem is bogus, because they fake it for their own ends and so the Israelis are justified in their actions."

Personally I view the video as yet another manipulation of the truth for evil ends. All it takes is one example of "faked" video and the whole veracity of all of it becomes suspect. (As if you can somehow actually trust video anyway...)

Still, I don't get the instructor's point.

I must clarify, the instructors response is in the negative. They think my daughter is not in touch with reality. Curious perception though as the video can be taken either way. After viewing the video and some discussion we didn't buy it for what it was saying. I have done some searching around and found that most people are taking it to heart as I guise it makes them feel better (those Palistinians aren't really suffering after all). We couldn't get what it had to do with the link to Ponerology either though. What was her instructors point?
