A lie once told seems to be repeated over and over again. Once again, it is the story of a small Palestinian child swapping up blood. And so, they post, "oh god, Gaza..." but no, it wasn't Gaza - not then, not now.

The original tweet:

And the picture to which they refer:

A lie repeated many times - is still a lie.The picture isn't from now. It wasn't from March, 2012. The picture isn't from Gaza. The blood wasn't from his brother. The Israelis weren't involved. It is a young Palestinian boy told to wipe up the blood of a cow slaughtered in his family's slaughterhouse in Hebron.

I documented it back in March, here: Palestinian Child Washing His Brother's Blood?

A lie told once, or twice, ore more - is still a lie.
