Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:

  1. It is an historically significant and iconic image.
  2. It is of lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality.
  3. The image has no monetary value that our use of it would affect.
  4. It has been widely distributed free of charge by the copyright holder.
  5. It is being used for informational purposes in an article about the event it depicts.
  6. The imagery and its historical significance are a key part of the story and the article would be significantly poorer without it.
  7. The significance of this image is that it shows the father waving in the direction of the Israeli post, toward his killers according to commentators who believe the pair were shot by the IDF, possibly asking them to stop firing, or at least attempting to make his presence known -- though other frames show him looking in other directions too.
