Those sharing the mislabeled Syria clips don't care about the impact on one of the few industries in Gaza still producing paychecks.
Jabaliyah, December 5 - Renewed warfare in the Aleppo region, featuring horrific violence against noncombatants, has produced hours of footage containing documenting war crimes, which thespians in this embattled Mediterranean city bordering Israel see as a threat to their livelihood, which depends on fabricating such footage in support of accusations that Israel is committing those crimes against Palestinians - with the recent plethora of Aleppo-area crimes that activists can simply recaption "Gaza," the cast and crew of the film productions face shrinking demand for their services, and they have announce plans for a work stoppage to protest the anticipated employment slowdown.
A spokesman for the Palestine Actors' Union (PAU) announced today (Thursday) that unless activists curtail their use of images and videos of atrocities and suffering in Syria, while mislabeling the material as originating in Israeli operations against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the union's members will refuse to show up for production of any videos, not just the ones that show fake atrocities.
"The profligate use of Syrian clips labeled 'Gaza' has dangerous implications for our job security," asserted PAU representative Ayama Ham. "Unemployment in the Gaza Strip was high even before the war. Now, obviously, it's worse, but that doesn't seem to bother the people sharing and misidentifying the Syria clips - they don't care about the impact it has on one of the few industries in Gaza that's still functioning, that's still producing paychecks."
"Pallywood represents a vanishing number of industries in the territory that have survived the last year plus," explained analyst Taa Moolah. "Aside from some lucky entrepreneurs and businesspeople close to Hamas, it's just Hamas people who still have jobs. That includes UNRWA and humanitarian organizations, which are just Hamas fronts."
"The actors are generally freelancers, even if the production teams themselves are hired by Hamas," he continued. "That means any quicker, cheaper source of anti-Israel blood libels puts the actors' job security at serious risk. Hamas's main sponsor Iran is seriously cash-strapped now and weakened. If Hamas finds that its investment in fake atrocity videos produces less of an impact because relabeled clips from Syria are achieving the same propaganda outcome, it will redirect its now-limited financial resources to other endeavors. That ill put hundreds of Gazan crisis actors out of work, deepening the humanitarian disaster that everyone has been warning is just days away for the last fourteen months."
A small picket line formed, its constituents trying to think of a chant that did not involve calling for genocide.
