Fauxtography again??

With the recent spate of fauxtography killing the public confidence in many news sources, one would think that the partisans in the current conflict would know better. But, apparently not.

This image has the caption:
Journalists take cover from Israeli soldiers' gunfire during an invasion of the West Bank city of Ramallah, August 10, 2006. (MaanImages/ Fadi Arouri)
It is from the Electronic Intifada website, accompanying an article How I found myself standing with the Islamic fascists
Aside from the ridiculousness of the arguments in the article (and its obvious one-sidedness), I notice in the picture that the four persons in the front "appear" to be "taking cover." Mr. White/Beige/Light Blue shirt appears to be lounging. And, the three cameramen in the back, away from any kind of protection do not appear to be concerned at all. In fact the middle of the three (in the green shirt) "appears" to be smiling.

What's up with that?
