All the posts were made prior to the current escalation of the Israel-Palestine conflict \u2014 we found posts from May, June 2023, December and November 2022 containing the image. And in almost all the posts the image has been used as a ‘meme’ with texts like “When you died but forgot to delete mobile history”.<\/p>\n We traced the the image back to its source on Facebook. It was shared by user Surattana Sawadkit in October 2022. In a Facebook post, she shared four images of her kids in Halloween costumes, one of the pictures from the post is the now-viral image. The post carried hashtags such as Halloween and Central Korat written in Thai. Central Korat is a mall in Thailand.<\/p>\n \u0e07\u0e32\u0e19\u0e40\u0e25\u0e47\u0e01\u0e46 \u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e07\u0e15\u0e31\u0e27\u0e07\u0e48\u0e32\u0e22\u0e46\u0e2a\u0e1a\u0e32\u0e22\u0e46\u0e40\u0e19\u0e35\u0e48\u0e22\u0e41\u0e2b\u0e25\u0e30\u0e04\u0e48\u0e30 \u0e44\u0e21\u0e48\u0e15\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e2d\u0e30\u0e44\u0e23\u0e21\u0e32\u0e01\u0e40\u0e25\u0e22\u0e04\u0e48\u0e30 \u0e21\u0e35\u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e04\u0e19\u0e01\u0e31\u0e19\u0e40\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e17\u0e31\u0e49\u0e07\u0e19\u0e31\u0e49\u0e19 \ud83d\udc7b<\/p>\n #\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e01\u0e27\u0e14\u0e2b\u0e19\u0e39\u0e19\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e22Halloweenkidsfancy Posted by Surattana Sawadkit<\/a> on\u00a0Saturday, 29 October 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Another Instagram page @up2youha also shared<\/a> these images and credited Surattana Sawadkit for the photos.

The image is from October 2022 and from Thailand where the child in the image had dressed up for Halloween.<\/p>\n The readers should note that the amplification of such images can be seen as part of a larger effort by pro-Israel influencers and social media users to call into question Palestine’s claims of the human cost of the war on their side<\/a>.
