Seems to me like they are missing a small detail. How about the fact that the “masked Palestinian security man” (i.e. terrorist) is shooting at the “Hamas member” (i.e. another terrorist) as he stands right next to a small boy?
Then again, look at the name of the AFP journalist. I wouldn’t be surprised if he supports the “cause”, and knows that one dead neo palestinian boy = great propaganda value.
