Here, an old woman took a seat for a helpful photographer in the middle of rubble that could seriously injure her if she fell.

When Gaza photographers find a good old woman to be a model, everyone wants to pose her differently:

One Gaza photographer that is excellent at finding women and children to pose for him is Mohammed Abed.

Abed just happened to be on the other side of this hole catching this person looking through it and up:
By an incredible coincidence, he caught an image just like it in 2020:
Abed went to Islamic University of Gaza - which is run by Hamas. He knows his job is not to record history, but to create it.
And major media still pay for Gaza photographers to stage these photos.
I couldn't find a single wire service photograph of a sad Israeli sitting in the rubble of the building struck by a rocket in Rehovot. No, that only happens in Gaza.
