    I think I tracked down the source for that image. It seems to be by Omar Al-Qattaa and pictures a child in Gaza with cerebral palsy and malnutrition. According to this, Malnutrition can be a side-effect of cerebral palsy, due to difficulties swallowing etc. Which is probably made harder by the war, which is bad, but not reflective of the general population.

    It's always pretty hard to find the sources for these images and when you do, it often has some special circumstances or is just from Yemen or smth.

    Apart from that, are there no rules here for news-articles or NSFL tags?

      Oh, geez. He's got CP. That definitely invalidates the importance of the message and image.

        It does make it misleading. If it was included in an article with the context, that would be fine. I believe most people joined this particular community to read news articles, not to see who can find an image that out of context supports thier political view.
