The complaints are possibly more political in nature rather than being about photography. I have a number of Israeli facebook "friends". Don't know them personally but they are on my list as they are fellow artists. I have seen many photos of incidents being passed around which involved Palestinians being killed and immediately, there are accusations of the photos being faked appearing on their walls (though not necessarily the artists' opinions, just stuff being shared around). I suspect something similar is going on with this photo, especially as it's a high profile one. You can clearly see it has been manipulated with the lighting etc, but nothing else shouts fake. You would have to be completely stupid to totally falsify an event, then enter the pic in an international competition where you knew the photo would be examined forensically in case of doubt. It is a great shot. Here is a bigger version of it: http://www.worldpressphoto.org/
