Biased Media Caption of the Day, Along with Most Biased Media Photo of All Time
In this Oct. 29, 2000 file photo, a Palestinian stone thrower faces an Israeli tank during clashes at the Karni crossing point between Israel and the Gaza Strip, on the outskirts of Gaza City. The Palestinians will be able to make a strong case when they ask the United Nations next week to recognize an independent Palestine in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem, the lands Israel occupied in 1967.

The Daylife photo feed is blitzing the bolded caption on to every photo coming out of the Mideast news feed, including this classic staged, perspective-skewed photo from 10 years ago.
Oh wait, the news feed has changed the captioning. Look at this heart rending photo:
A Palestinian boys drinks water from a public tap at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) headquarters in the southern Gaza Strip Rafah refugee camp on September 18, 2011. The Islamist Hamas movement said the United Nations should recognise a Palestinian state on all of historical Palestine, including land that is now Israel, just a few days before Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas submits a request to the world body for membership of a Palestinian state on the lines that existed before the 1967 Six Day War.

A Palestinian state existed on lines that existed before the 1967 war? Then it was occupied by Egypt and Jordan!—VB
