Troels ForchhammerThe TV crew bribed every person in the street to cheer and jubilate? Please. And how do you account for the fact that there were Arabs everywhere who cheered at the news? Why did the woman tell that story later? That one is easy. The Palestinian Autority's police impounded all camera reels of the jubilations they could find. So if you have seen such a reel of her telling that extremely unlikely story, guess who told her to tell it if she knew what was good for her?
I've seen shots where that selfsame woman (if, of course, we're talking of the same shot) tell that the tv-crew (I don't remember which) actually paid her and the others in the street to act out the festival scenes. They had (according to her) no idea what it was going to be used for and were very shocked to learn it.
The tv-crew in question will probably deny this, which would leave us with the unpleasant choice of whom to believe.
I at least find that a hard choice, but I tend to lean towards believing
the woman.
