A group of religious Jews gathered together to pray outside the Temple Mount, a hotly contested piece of land in the Old City of Jerusalem to which Jews have very little access – although it is Judaism’s holiest site. While these Jews were praying, an angry mob of Arab women armed with cameras came out shouting Allah hu akbar. One of the women grabbed a prayer book out of a Jewish man’s hands while he was reading from it.

It was the the perfect opportunity for a photo. And sure enough, it spread all over the internet, claiming to show Israeli aggression against poor, innocent Palestinians. Without knowing the story behind the picture, one would think the Israeli man was about to attack the Muslim woman. That would be a false representation of what happened.
