It is hard to imagine a person who will not see this photograph. But it was taken on this day, October 29, 2000. I can't believe the picture is already 26 years old. The boy in the picture is Fars Odeh. He was only 14 years old. Ten days after this photo was taken, Fares went out again throwing stones at Israeli tanks, seeking revenge for the murder of his 17-year-old cousin. An Israeli sniper shot him in the neck and killed him. And there is another creepy detail in this picture. The photograph changed the theory of the Israeli tank. In August 2001, the Jerusalem Post quoted an anonymous supporter of the tank doctrine as saying that tank crews were now instructed to fire stone throwers.
