The photo chosen by Liberation for its front page is a reduction of the Amr Nabil Associated Press picture from yesterday, Wednesday October 18, showing anti-Israel protesters. Liberation chose to highlight the protester and the placard he is holding up. It shows a child, allegedly a victim of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, in the ruins of Gaza.
This photo, which was re-circulated in abundance by pro-Palestinian X / Ex Twitter accounts, was the subject of numerous ” ratings”.
After some quick research, this photo was produced earlier this year. Viewed in high resolution, it shows numerous artefacts on the child’s forehead and chin, as well as a hand with an unusual number of fingers, which is typical of photomontages created using artificial intelligence.
This photo was probably generated after the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria in February, as here, for a Change petition calling on the US to end its sanctions against Syria or in this tweet dedicated to the earthquakes in Turkey.
