Choosing Sides

Notice who the photographer is standing with here; And the lack of photographers on the other side?

Yeah, and you thought the press brings you the unbiased, totally disconnected view of events on the ground.

It's not that I have a problem with photojournalists trying to present a compelling case for something they feel passionate about -- Just keep it in the "commentary" section, please.

A Palestinian youth (front) and a Jewish settler (rear) prepare to throw stones at each other during clashes which according to witnesses, erupted after settlers cut down olive trees belonging to the West Bank village of Asira al-Qibilya near Nablus July 3, 2011. Scorched hillsides and charred olive groves near Nablus pinpoint the latest acts of arson by hardline Jewish settlers against Palestinians who say they are ever more the victims of such attacks in the West Bank.
