Another Pallywood Moment

You've seen this, right?  Its used to show just how awful Israel is to the poor long suffering Palestinian children.

Its all over the web.

Anti-Israel sites are widely promoting it.
 Its been captioned
"This is the real face of Israel. Even children are being killed".
"Palestinian child watching his demolished home"
"Palestinian-child-prisoner."
"Israeli settlers torturing a Palestinian kid ..."

 Except that its not.



Look at it.  Really look at it.  Its completely fabricated.  Look at the soldier on the right. Fuzzy. Underexposed to the point of ghostly. Its a completely different exposure than the other parts of the photo. Look at the limbs that end randomly. Look at the disjointed background.

This ridiculous photoshop has been in constant use since 2008.`

    You are off by at least 5 years.

    This image at http://images.abunawaf.com/archive/2002/10/66104_children.jpg was published on October 16, 2002. It includes metadata. You can view the Adobe App14 and Photoshop tags.

    I also located the image at http://www.aljazeera.net/mritems/images/2001/7/30/1_47293_1_6.jpg but it does not include metadata.

    Thanks for clarifying this, Bobby. Is there a way for inexperienced people to examine metadata, to expose this kind of fraud?

    So an anonymous guy said:
    "This image at http://images.abunawaf.com/archive/2002/10/66104_children.jpg was published on October 16, 2002. It includes metadata. You can view the Adobe App14 and Photoshop tags."

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Do you know how easy it is to add/delete metadata?
    Also, i went to all the links he provided, not one of them had any data attached to it.

    Look at the kids face, look at his arm! He's two-toned!
