Edit: Since people have a problem with this comment, the image is a still frame from a video of the bombimg. Awful.
There are links in the replies, which were not present when I made this comment (it was the first comment on this post).
Original comment
What’s going on is atrocious, but do we have any evidence whatsoever this isn’t just five minutes in photoshop? It’s not hard to put a bomb silhouette in the sky and blur it a bit.
The timing of this image, the fact that the photographer got the image out, and as far as I’m aware there’s not a follow up with the aftermath just tweaks my bullshit sense is all.
Gaza has the highest decapitated limps per capita in the world thanks to the only denocracy in the middleeast and the most moral army of the world. All done with US weapons and money
yes, smart thinking, maybe the entirely of the zionist holocaust of Palestinians and all their various and sundry war crimes were simply photoshop. Where is Hind Rijab, do we even have any record besides photos of her ever existing? Where are all the bodies of palestinians? Maybe they just left town, right?
Asking the tough questions here, good for you buddy.

Oh no, you’ve uncovered my evil zionist plan: softly questioning one singular photo with incredible timing and an easily photoshoppable focus! The Mossad propaganda department is in shambles!
If OP posts a photoshopped picture, that tells us something about OP. If the picture is real, that tells us something about an event of this war.
When we know the truth, we can better decide who to listen to. When we can better decide who to listen to, we have more opportunity to sway the opinions of those around us towards the truth.
what does it matter to the people suffering in Gaza this “opportunity to sway the opinions of those around us towards the truth”. Can our swayed opinions change anything for them?
Why would I listen to you then, someone fine with lying. Your words are worthless.
i’m not “fine with lying”'.
Trump is the ultimate liar. Are his words worthless? His lies matter more than our thousand truths.
World has changed and the truth doesn’t matter anymore.
But my original comment was about the frailty of being just a witness to a genocide faraway and asking if the image is real or not. Honestly, what difference does it make after all we’ve seen? What have we done after seeing other images that were authenticated?

This post has a link to a YT video showing this. This image is a still frame from a video camera.

The guy with one leg center bottom…doesn’t even flinch. He’s been through so much…

People dont rush to the scene to help anymore either, because evil vermin Israelis like to double-tap strike to kill first responders.

what difference will it make?
what will you do if it’s real? what if it’s not?
There is intrinsic value in the truth, I think.

What difference did you commenting make? If you’re chasing the nihilism here
it may be helpful to stop pretending that in 2026 truth matters.
