The producer now admits to falsifying scenes, using inaccurate information and obtaining financing for the project from the Palestinian Authority.
Muhammad Bakri, producer of "Jenin, Jenin," a documentary that claims Israel committed genocide in the Jenin refugee camp in April 2002. When asked about a scene in which it is implied Israeli troops ran over civilians, Bakri admitted to constructing the footage himself as an "artistic choice." He also answered "no" when asked if he believed "that during the operation in Jenin, the Israeli soldiers killed people indiscriminately."
The film alleges Israeali troops killed a "large number" of civilians, mutilated Palestinian bodies, randomly executed and bombed women, children and the mentally and physically impaired, and leveled the entire refugee camp, including a wing of the local hospital.
I'm not Jewish or Palestinean just saw it on a news bullentin where this guy is being sued for $500,000 for damages by Israeli troops.
