    It’s the wall on the right – in the wide version (from felesteen.news) it’s all the same blue colour, and a corner, whereas in the Reddit version it’s a white concrete pillar with no corner.

    At the very least, someone’s done some infilling on one of them. My most charitable guess was that someone at the news site decided to “punch up” the image for an article header, but the third version and its timing make me think Occam’s razor is the way to go here.

      Oh yeah, good point - I don’t know how I missed that. I was focusing on the cracks on the wall and the placement of pebbles on the ground. Yeah that’s not just overexposure from sunshine making it seem different color.

      It’s odd because the trash in the corner on the left is consistent, and the blood pattern is the same, and even the cracks on the wall behind them are the same, but the pillar shifts location and color.

      It seems to me like there was a reference image. Whether it’s the AI plagiarizing something it was trained on, or an actual image that was thrown through a processing pipeline with AI.

      But of course, the most charitable guess is as always that it’s deliberate Mossad misinformation, because we just spent a couple hundred collective hours analyzing an image rather than burning down an embassy because they did actually murder children.
