Conveniently cropped out the knife held by a "peaceful" activist?

Looks sort of to me like the knife was the commando's. He's not exactly holding it in a menacing way, but maybe I'm wrong.

EDIT: And by not menacing, holding it in the manner you would if you picked up a knife off someone else's person.

I just find this image so funny. It's not even WELL edited. Anybody with a rudimentary knowledge of image editing would notice that terrible clone abuse. Did somebody seriously think this would fool people?

Propaganda go away. No one wants you posting in this thread if you can't click links and read articles.

This. Reuters, on the other hand, if you'll look at that zombietime link, is clearly faking pictures.

That was a fascinating read. You know they say the first victim in war is the truth but you expect a neutral outside source to provide unbiased information.

Well, if Reuters was a Palestinian news outlet, it wouldn't be, but considering they're neither from Israel or Palestina, they should be unbiased. After all, most people buy newspapers to be informed, not to be lied to, and ultimately honesty should be more important than sensation. Especially because even the sensationalists will stop buying newspapers if they know the sensation is a lie.
