Set aside the fact that the image has nothing to do with the story. Check out the caption.

Mouths open wide, palms up, and one girl looks like she's out of breath. Yeah that looks like real attempt at dialogue. Here's the real caption.

The picture has absolutely no connection to the story and is only used for effect. This is exactly the reason Hamas wants these Palestinian photographers to get these kind of images. And the papers play right into their hands.

And you thought those loud vuvuzelas are annoying.

UPDATE July 6: What a can of worms this is. Max Blumenthal filmed this very incident. The Palestinians clearly provoked and staged the whole event to humiliate the IDF — and they filmed themselves doing it.

See other images 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 from this Nabi Saleh set-up for the cameras.
