This week, in a speech to tens of thousands of volunteer Basij militiamen in Tehran broadcast live on TV, Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei referred to Israel as an "unclean, rabid dog," which in Persian culture is one of the worst insults possible.

He repeats this in a new tweet and Facebook post, together with a graphic:


What was happening in this photo?

The original  photo caption was:
An Israeli army dog attacks a Palestinian woman as soldiers try to stop it during an army raid in the West Bank village of Obadiyah, near Bethlehem, Wednesday, March 21, 2007. The troops were searching for a wanted militant from the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades who managed to escape.

I also saw the photo here with the same caption but different photo credit.

And there is video, which was immediately seized by the Arab world as if the IDF was attacking the woman and not trying to help her:




Another photo (right) of the same dog attack is also popular on anti-Israel sites. Its caption adds that "the woman received medical attention from the troops on the scene." 

While the video was edited to make it look as if the solders are detaining the woman, in fact they were helping her.

Context is everything, and the Israel haters have no compunction about twisting facts.
