Drop the Dead Donkey
A dead donkey is seen in front of Israeli police vehicles on a road near the West Bank village of Salem near Nablus April 7, 2008. An Israeli bus carrying settlers ran over and killed a Palestinian shepherd near the West Bank city of Nablus on Monday, local Palestinian residents said. REUTERS/Abed Omar Qusini (WEST BANK)
Hmm. A picture of an Israeli vehicle in front of a dead donkey, to illustrate a story about a palestinian allegation that an Israeli bus ran over a palestinian. What possibly could Reuters’ Abed Omar Qusini be trying to say?
Clue: the fact he placed the words “local Palestinian residents said” (which indicate it is a claim made by palestinians, and not a verified fact) only at the very end of the long caption is likely related.

maybe he wanted to say that that donkey is the palestinian?
anyway, what’s that huge rock doing in the middle of the street?
(or is it a bag?)
