Caption Bias Of The Day

I have regularly noted that Gaza is far from being the “concentration camp” or “open air prison” that some people claim it is. As part of my proof, I have posted photos of the facilities in Gaza. Facilities that include an amusement park.

Not to fear! A certain AFP caption writer has found a way to deal with this inconvenient fact.

Ahhh. The poor Gazans only have one amusement park, and it is a small one at that.

So small, in fact, that a young girl is forced to stand right near a smelly camel.

To the AFP caption writer: I am still not aware of any prisons or concentration camps with even one amusement park. But even if there was only one amusement park, I could think of a reason why someone hasn’t opened up another one.
