Ordinary Palestinians said if the photograph were genuine it was likely the child had been dressed up for funThis is what passes for fun according to Palestinians?!?!?!

A picture released by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) June 27, 2002 shows what they allege to be a photo of a Palestinian baby dressed like a suicide bomber. The IDF said they found the photo during a search in a house of a wanted Palestinian man from Hebron, where Israeli army tanks and helicopter gunships have been poundeding a Palestinan police building.

"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."
Yeh. The Pali's wouldn't do anything like that, would they. Nah, no propaganda from them. Nah, that funeral video was for a movie-of-the-week, right? I never saw a corpse run so fast when the helicopter showed up. Just the sight and noise of the helicoptor was enough to--yeh, gotta say it--raise the dead.

There's something wrong with that photo. The background is darkened and the left leg is not symmetrical with the right, or the rest of the body of a baby that size.
As much as I believe the Pali's would do this, this one may be a creation of someone else.

They'd have started with a comlete photo of the child, and patched the explosives in on top of it, and the inconsistencies would be between the explosives and the rest of the photo. IMHO.

The Palestinians are not even Muslims. Strip away the veneer of religion and what you see are PAGANS. That's who they really are. I can't imagine ANY civilized person doing THAT to a child. Now then a pagan is someone who is EVIL and to whom anything may be done. Just ask the Church Fathers who fought them in the Roman Empire.

the little darling's got such a light complexion-didn't know this was possible for pali's....racial profilin wouldn't seem to be feasible, in this instance.

Not really surprising --about 60 years ago you would have found toddlers sporting swastikas in Nazi Germany. Radical Islam has become the nazism of the 21st century

The little guy looks like he's just realized what the outfit means! Those big eyes have the expression of shock,(or horror) as if he knows he'll never see "Sesame Street"!
To: The Great RJ
For all intents and purposes, we have PLENTY of other photographs showing Palestinians and Lebanese dressing up their toddlers in homicide bomber outfits. This is sick. We have all the evidence we need. I dont see my Mossad or the IDF would even have to fake this. The evidence and track record of the insanity of Radical Islamists is already on the table!!!!!!!
of course, the Mossad isn't 'mine'... but nonetheless I don't see a smokin' gun here. just more evidence of what we already know. we deal with an insane, uncivilized adversary

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."
"...can be...has been done..." Did anyone see a denial that this is a real picture? Or did anyone see a direct accusation by the Palestinian official that the Israelis had done this picture? I didn't.

Where's the link to that thread that had numerous pictures of young Pali children with AKs, dressed up as suicide bombers, etc.? Those pictures were definitely not faked.

Now then a pagan is someone who is EVIL and to whom anything may be done. You're kidding, right?

As much as I believe the Pali's would do this, this one may be a creation of someone else. The photo is real. The bacground is darkened has nothing to do with anything, and as for your observation that the legs are not symmetrical: if you look carefully (you may have to blow the pic up a bit, and I was lucky enough to get hold of a large print) - you'll see that what is obscuring part of one leg is in fact one of the ends of that bomb harness thing, just hanging free and in front of the leg.
Plus, the family confirms the pic but insists it was a "joke". "Lots of kids mimics the fighters", I think was one of the palie excuses.
