Those for whom the issue of photo fraud is relevant, among all the undoubted death and destruction, might want to consult the following site:

And you can also cConsult David Frankfurter's site for a clear explanation of what to do to see the two figures in this picture which are considered to be proof of photo fraud:

The front page of the Washington Post of 31 July 2006, had a dramatic photo by Lefteris Pitarakis of AP, captioned "A resident of Qana, in southern Lebanon, weeps as he shows the bodies of some of the 57 victims of an Israeli airstrike on a building being used as a shelter."
Long after the event, with so many questions reverberating in the blogosphere as to whether much of the events in Qana (or at least their journalistic aftermath) were, in fact staged, one would think that a self-respecting editor would very closely scrutinise photos for possible hints of Hezballywood.
Click on the picture on the left and give it a few minutes to load. Courtesy of PressDisplay.com, you will enter a site that lets you enlarge the page using the magnifying glass tool (at the bottom of the screen). Then click and drag your mouse to cruise around reasonably high resolution image of the page. Move up to the the last "body" in the row. Someone forgot to tell him that the photo-op wasn't quite over, and that he really should play dead for just a few more minutes.
And try to make up your own minds.
Remember that the figures of nearly 60 casualties were adjusted down to just under 30 a few days later.
And still, as I wrote at the time, pray for us...
