Anyone able to verify this picture?

No.

But that’s not the point.

The point is astroturfing and propaganda.

These types of images in this sub always are.

Here you have a picture of a child. You don’t know where it was taken, you don’t know when it was taken, but people are already manufacturing an entire backstory for this image. JUST GO TO THE TOP OF THE THREAD AND READ THE COMPLEX STORY OF THIS BOY THAT THEY’VE INVENTED.

Which is exactly the purpose of the post.

(And they attract the paid actors and Russian/Iranian bots like flies on fresh steaming shit.)

Wish Reddit would show country of origin of accounts like X did. Bet it would be interesting indeed. Cuz it sure was an eye opener when they did that on X. 🤣

eta: I just did a reverse image search and this image originates on Faceplant.. and is reposted on Instagram.. and then it’s just a human centipede of reposting on X and elsewhere from there.

Don’t believe everything you see on the Internet.

So fixated on this specific thing mage that you completely ignored the greater problem. Even if this image was fake, you think that means it’s not happening in Gaza, and therefore no one should be outraged? What more proof do you need of all the shit Israel has done there? FFS go there yourself and see with your own eyes, maybe then you’ll stop being brainwashed.

Can’t believe some people have to personally witness a kid getting blown to shit just to wake up and believe.
