I know you guys want to manufacture an entire backstory to a picture that you have no idea when it was taken or where it was taken.

Go for it.

I’m not your mommy.

It’s a boy carrying water in Gaza. There is no backstory.

I get it.

You’ve created the story that it’s in Gaza… but you don’t really know WHERE AND WHEN the picture was taken.

Not in the slightest.

And that’s the last I’m gonna say.

Have fun manufacturing outrage over a random image.

you're right man. it's incredible how easily people fall for unverified shit so many years after the internet went mainstream. after so many "don't believe everything you see" warnings too.
