  1. I know pictures say more than words, but pictures can be doctored to look what the person wants it to look. During the Gaza war with Israel a man and his son died 5 times at different places and this was the picture the people put up to show how terrible Israel is. How you knew it was the same person was they were stupid enought to wear the same clothes for the 5 deaths.
