If you can capture an evocative image that distils a complex and difficult historical upheaval into an iconic, emotive instant it will spread like wildfire - even if it has nothing to do with that historical upheaval.

When the photo fits ... go with it.
 
I wouldn't be surprised to receive an email purporting the "grave" version as real, from some of my more credulous acquaintances. Wouldn't be the first time I've had point out a hoax.
 
Nothing new Fluffy. Hamas has many times faked dead children photos as well in the past - not sure what makes this so special. Truth is always the first casualty of war. Everyone lies. I certainly wouldn't push these Saudi lies on to you. I'm just not sure why you keep pushing Assad's lies on us.
 
One very unlucky family,
first Assad kills them in Syria,
so they flee to Gaza,
where the evil Jooooooos kill them again

It wasn't so much a lie or a "faked picture". It was an art piece that just happened to fit someone else's agenda so they co-opted it and vast numbers of people were simply ready to accept it and not question it because it fit with their presuppositions.
