The Adventures of Mr FAFO Take a Tragic Turn

You know how in some movies, there is ominous foreshadowing through some seemingly random fact or scene? For instance, when a soldier in a war movie spends time talking about his wife and kids back home. You can almost bet he is going to be killed off before movie’s end.

Why do I mention this? Because only a few weeks ago, we learned about Pallywood crisis actor “Mr FAFO” Saleh Aljafarawi’s mad table tennis skills. And yesterday he claimed he was badly injured by the IDF, seemingly hamming it up for the cameras. Now we discover his injury might destroy his dream of table tennis glory:

Who would have thought it?

Of course, I am not buying this for a second. Besides the Z-grade acting, Mr FAFO has seemingly given the game away (so to speak) with the following video, which he captioned with:

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
The occupation targeted us directly with a missile from a reconnaissance aircraft, which resulted in me being injured by shrapnel in my right hand, and my colleague Mohammed Salameh, Dr. Mohammed Abu Lahiya, and Dr. Israa sustaining serious injuries

Reposting here in case he deletes the video or otherwise loses his Instagram account:

What is missing from the video is Mr FAFO carrying on like a pork chop like he did in the subsequent hospital videos I posted yesterday.

According to one of the commenters, this is a translation of the video:

The occupation directly targeted us with a missile from reconnaissance aircraft, which led to me being injured by shrapnel in the right hand, my colleague Muhammad Salama and Dr. Muhammad Abu Lahia being injured, and Dr. Israa being seriously injured). – “Saleh” The IOF targeted us. My hand (several times). I got injured in my hand. The IOF targeted us (several times, he sounds in so much pain he kept repeating things 😢). O Allah! My hand! Listen, give me the “I didn’t get it” – Gauze, gauze!(several times). – ” Saleh” My hand! I, myself, got injured in my hand, “but” it doesn’t matter now. Come on quickly! Ambulance! Enough, enough! We’re going to manage on our own (seems like they couldn’t find an ambulance). I’m going to drive, just get in! Everyone gets in! – “Dr. Israa” Come on, come on! (several times). I can’t anymore! Do something, quickly! – ” The doctors” Don’t worry, Israa, I’ve checked on you you’re fine so don’t worry. – It’s all superficial, no need to worry (several times).

This confirms that he is claiming he already got injured during the course of this video. Yet like a brave protagonist, was able to somehow put the pain aside for his supposedly fellow-injured Gazan Dr Israa and even drive her himself with that hand. Amazing!

Speaking of which, Dr Israa seemed mighty calm lying there on the ground, perhaps because the wound was “superficial” as FAFO claims later.

The only thing on life support here are the acting skills.
