What appear to be pictures taken by the Peace Activists are being released.
The first picture in the slideshow is of a bloodied Israeli soldier being taken hostage, standing over him is a “Peace Activist” with a knife in the lower right corner…….
Reuters made the curious decision to crop out the Peace Activists knife, only leaving the top of the handle visible. Now why would they do a thing like that?

Hopefully this will backfire on Reuters. They were trying to hide the weapon but if their dishonest editing gets enough publicity it will just publicize the evidence they were trying to hide.

Cropping the image to eliminate the knife introduces bias against Israel and eliminates culpability on the part of the activists. It is clearly misleading and is newsworthy for its propaganda value as opposed to revealing the factual circumstances.

It's also interesting that these pictures were originally published by a Turkish paper. They aren't bothered by the knife. Reuters decided that the knife might look bad for their international audience so they removed it.
Okay the flash may have messed with his eyes but I think his "main" injury is his head, if only because he is off his feet. Of course you are right about the blood source I think. What a horrible moment for a good soldier.
I feel it's better to sing about these things ourselves and perform them with the people who it happened to than to have some journalist one day say 'then in 1971, one time when they were at the mudshark hotel...' But people have problems with things of a glandular nature in connection with things of a musical nature. They say why, music is way up here, and glands are way down there and they can't get 'em together, but then they are hypocritical because they take a band that doesn't sing about such things directly and couches their language a little and does it with a little choreography and say that that's great and that's real rock and roll. I maintain that there's no difference, we're just honest enough to get up and say 'this is this and that's that and here you are and respond to it' and the response is 'why... I'm hip, but of course I am offended'.
