Ace of Spades HQ —
Pallywood Hospital Vid Not Quite Proven a Hoax, But We're Getting There Confederate Yankee sums up all of the evidence, noting that the Norweigan doctor appearing in the production is a long time pro-Palestinian activist, and the bereaved brother filming the scene owns an internet company that hosts websites for Hamas.

Not just since “evil Chimpy” came along.
