You won't find much coverage of Hamas' demolition of illegally constructed houses in Gaza, since Hamas has a done a good job in keeping the press away. Nevertheless, someone did forward me a link to this picture of one such demoed home. Clearly the Reuters photographer was in a rush, or perhaps as there were no Jews involved, the drama is missing. Tsk, tsk...they actually paid you for this, anonymous Reuters photographer? How standards have slipped.
Never worry, however. I am here to help. And so is Flat Fatima. There are actually two Flat Fatimas in this picture, demonstrating a clear use of Photoshop -- something I usually eschew, but which wouldn't bother Reuters at all.
Listed below are links to blogs that reference this entry: Demolitions in Gaza. This Looks Like a Job for Flat Fatima!.
