The GARLIC: A look at life and human culture from different angles.

Questions have been raised over the authenticity of shocking images that appear to show a boy with a broken arm being held at gunpoint by an Israeli soldier after a 13-year-old girl is seen biting his attacker.

The Israeli Defense Force spokesperson, Naomi Bloom-Levin, called the whole incident a total misunderstanding and accused the media of being "wildly anti-Semitic".

"Just look at the pictures. They show what really happened. The IDF soldier saw the poor Palestinian boy being attacked by these Arab women. He successfully intervened and saved the boy's life. Any other interpretation shows that you are anti-Semitic."

According to Bloom-Levin, "The soldier took a big risk helping the Palestinian boy. IDF soldiers are constantly being subjected to lethal danger by stone throwing children, especially when they are doing outside construction as part of their Neighborhood Beautification Project."

The problem is so serious that throwing a single stone at an IDF soldier will now get a Palestinian child or adult 20 years in an Israeli prison.

The unnamed IDF hero pictured here said, "I didn't even think about the danger of stones. Heck. I've got little kids myself at home. I couldn't stand by and let those women abuse that boy. We're all brothers and sisters. Can't we just get along?"
