Baby "Terrorist" - need background help

[whyzayker]

I received this picture


in an email and something about it looks familiar. All I can find on its background is this short piece -

If the photo was indeed fabricated to bolster a propaganda move by the Israeli Army, as Palestinians charged, it was a sickening example of child exploitation. If dressing up the baby for a photo session of sorts was a "joke," as a member of the child's family reportedly told Sky News, then those responsible deserve the same words of condemnation. Any way one looks at it, the photo allegedly found by the Israeli Army in a house in Hebron last week, which it claims is a genuine image of a Palestinian toddler staring wide-eyed into the camera while dressed in the garb of a suicide bomber (complete with red wires, an explosives belt strapped to his waist and a red Hamas-style bandanna on his forehead) was another shocking sign of how dismal the Mideast situation has become.

1. Looks similar to what Rosie did with her kid.

2. The MSM gets upset when they think they see Palestinians dress kids up like suicide bombers.

But when Israelis do it - not a word.

3. The email - Islam not a "religion of peace"

And they used the picture and the article about the female bombers who were alleged to have Down Syndrome. I was under the impression the baby photo wasn't real.

6. What religion is?

7. Agreed, baldguy

I was just curious if the true origin of the photo had ever been resolved.

4. Could you please post a picture of an Israeli child

dressed up like a suicide bomber? As far as I know, that doesn't exist.

And NO, little kids dressing up like Army men doesn't count.

You didn't read the article, did you?
