Picture of the Day - 3
A lone Jewish settler challenges Israeli security officers during clashes that erupted as authorities cleared the West Bank settlement of Amona, east of the Palestinian town of Ramallah. February 1, 2006. (AP - Oded Balilty)
This picture won the Pulitzer Prize this year. (Bigger if you click it.)

That looks completely staged. Big Bad IDF picking on a lone settler. What you don't see is the Storm Troopers beating the hell out of a 12yo Palestinian girl before they shoot her 16yo brother at point blank range with a 'rubber' bullet.
What utter BS.

Oh please understand, I am not supporting the politics of this picture.
I did not mean to give that impression. I stand very much against what that woman is standing for.
But just as a picture, it's just amazing.

I would have to agree. If she was a Palestinian, her corpse would be laying on the ground and the camera destroyed by IDF forces.
Pure propaganda.

Still, like Mike says, the picture is amazing. When I saw it I was in shock, and then I saw the caption that in won the Pulitzer Prize.
Not surprising. Truly an amazing picture.
