Of course, Palestinians are claiming that this photo is a forgery.

Palestinian officials dismissed it as a propaganda trick.

“This is cheap Israeli propaganda. They are using this photo to justify Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people and to go on with their occupation of the Palestinian territories,” Information Minister Yasser Abed Rabbo said.

“These photos can easily be forged and distributed, and this has been done by the Israeli media several times before.”

One thing you can always count on, though; each time Palestinians shout “this is a fake!” they will inevitably follow up with pathetic hedging.

Ordinary Palestinians said if the photograph were genuine it was likely the child had been dressed up for fun and did not mean Palestinians were about to use children in suicide bombings — something they have never done.

For fun. This comment is almost more disgusting than the photo itself.
