This Picture ( #2 ) was taken in
Jerusalem, near the Temple Mount, by Evelyn Hockstein, a Reuters
photographer, on Friday, April 6, 2001. A Palestinian child
was caught by Israeli policemen, and, in his fear - he wet
his pants. Undoubtedly, this picture is very moving, and everyone
can share the pain and panic of the child, that led to such
an embarrassing moment. The Palestinians, who truly understand
the power of the image, spread this picture worldwide, through
the media and e-mails, but - they did not show the other picture
( #1 ). At the same day, on the same place, a few minutes
before the picture ( #2 ) was taken, another Reuters
photographer, Natalie Behringhas taken the picture ( #1
): Well, yes, it's the same child. Only at this stage,
his pants are ...still dry.
