this New York Times photograph of a crowd of Lebanese refugees:
This is probably nothing.
If it’s photo manipulation, it’s certainly an incredibly mundane example, and I can’t think of a reason why anyone would do it.
I’m tossing this to the lizardoid community for comment from the other photoshop geeks out there, without rendering any judgment yet.
In other words, I am not saying this is a definite fake; I know we’ve got quite a few experts at digital manipulation among our readers, and I’m sincerely asking for their opinions.
But look at the image of the man in the lower right corner; the more I examine it, the more it resembles a man’s head crudely pasted onto the body of a woman. Note the scarf under his chin, the outlines of something else at the right of his head, and more artifacts at the top and left of his head.
And note the rest of the clothing, which resembles the other women’s clothing much more than the men’s. The lighting of his face seems off, as well.

Indeed odd.
The kid in pic #3 is missing a scarf?
Rodney King.
Obvious fake. A bit of background wasn't cut off - it obscures part of the blue clothing in the backgound.
More pictures here.

Caption: Aw Lawdy! I is amongst terrahrist!
Incidentally, what does this group image purport to represent?
If thats a fake picture to imply all races are being terrorized by the Israelis this story could be hugh...very hugh....
Paul Klee
OK where's Waldo?
Where s Waldo?
Also, where's the brother's neck? And why does he face look like it's sticking out about 6 inches from his body?
What's going on here is an attempt to elicit sympathy from African-Americans ~ it's like, well, all these A-rab pictures look like white folks!
No doubt the NYT picture-guy saw one of a black-African IDF soldier.
I think this picture shows such an individual:
Although the Palestinian propagandist (who posted this picture on the net) hoped to lead us to be concerned about the little kid, it's pretty clear the NYT picture-guy saw it entirely differently. Little did the propagandist know that NYT people have hard hearts when it comes to kids (the abortion-thing doncha' know ~ can't get all smurfy about kids either), and are much more concerned with PC stuff, like "proper count of racial types" in their photos.
Sometimes I have to pity these funny little foreign people as they attempt to dealve into the American Liberal psyche. It's not at all the same as the Islamofascist terrorists with whom they normally work ~ it's just wierd!
They needed a "racial diversity individual" (as in token black) to please U.S. libs.
