Not Quite Fauxtography But Staged?

Staged?





Surrounded by mountains of rubble that were once their homes, Palestinian children play in Jebaliya, northern Gaza Strip, Sunday, Jan. 25, 2009. Psychologists say the fighting traumatized Gaza's children like none of the previous conflicts with Israel because it taught them that no place is safe.

Saja Abed Rabbo, 5, stands amid the rubble of her devastated neighborhood in Jebaliya, northern gaza Strip, Jan. 25, 2009, talking to Gaza trauma counselor Mustafa Haj-Ahmed. The little girl, along with her family, fled under fire during the first days of Israel's ground offensive. Psychologists say Israel's war on Hamas inflicted unprecedented trauma on Gaza's children because it taught them that no place is safe.

Yeah, i don't know why anyone would worry about children been deeply disturbed. it's not like they had a war right outside their homes, bombs falling on their heads, it's not like they've seen their brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers been killed right in front of them. Yeah, medad, you are right, they -jew haters -just staged the whole conflict to frame the poor victim israel.

Hi, I am a writer for StinkyJournalism.org, a media watchdog that often covers fauxtography and staged photos. Do you have any proof that these photos are staged? Are you going on a hunch? I would love to comment on our site, please contact me - danielle.elliot@gmail.com.
