This is the little girl in question

Life gets worse for Palestinians in Gaza
For the first eight days of Israel’s attack on the Gaza Strip, codenamed Operation Cast Lead, many Palestinians trapped inside the territory believed that living conditions could not get any worse. They were wrong.

She is the same little girl in both pictures.
This Screen shot of the Charity site itself was also taken as well.
Again the design is also in the top right hand corner. Also a of version of the larger “photo by Fady Adwan/propaimages”
Today the Charity Meir Panium removed the little Palestinians girls photo from its flyer. This of course I imagine after there were complaints about it’s immoral use. There were thousands of people who saw this reprehensible use of this little girl to raise money for Starving children in Israel.
Their new poster girl. Now is she really Israeli I wonder? If you see this little girls picture and she is from anywhere but Israel do let inquiring minds know.
This ad
is still on the HAARTZ site however. Seems the Charity has yet to contact them. So check to see if it is still there, it may or may not but if it is, you will see to the right of the picture of State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss. Then again in the past two days she has been most of their news stories.

The children in Gaza are far worse off, then any child in Israel. If Israel has hungry men, women and children maybe they should spend less on weapons, checkpoints or imprisoning those from Gaza and the West Bank.
The Building of the illegal wall could and should be stopped. The entire wall should be torn down.
Those in Gaza do not have enough medical supplies, hydro, food, water heating fuel, cooking fuel and next to no building supplies and the list goes on an on. Many still live in tents. The things most people take for granted, they do not have.
They are in desperate need of real help. That little Palestinian girl if she is still alive really does need help. She is an innocent little girl.
Using her picture for profit to help those in Israel is beyond reprehensible. She and everyone in Gaza are desperately in need.
Thank You to all who take the time to read this and those who took the time to do screen shots pictures and get copies of all the information pertaining to this horrid incident.
Thank You to all the blogger’s or those from forums and there are many for sharing this information.
You will never see this on the main stream media.
If not for others who took the time no one would know the crime against this innocent child. This is a crime. Even Charities have laws they must live by.
Thank you all for caring. I know she is just one small little girl but we must be her voice, as her voice is so small.
The children in Gaza don’t get almost 3 billion dollars from the US every year.
They don’t get the millions Israel gets from Charities set up for them around the world.
Just in a recent report the US has built buildings in Israel and I guess they need them for the $800 million in munitions Israel will also have access to as well.
The US just gave it to them.
Seems Israel if they have so many hungry should be given food not weapons. The US should stop giving weapons aid to Israel. If they are so desperately, hungry as they say they are, which I doubt, they do not in need more bullets, bombs, tanks, planes, etc.
The UN and many others have demanded the blockade be lifted.
The world is watching.
Contact your Governments and tell them to have the Blockade in Gaza lifted.
When people try to get aid into Gaza, they meet with a numerous problems.
