H. sent me this: "I was reading your 'US puppets' post which linked me to Al Arabiya where I
instantly noticed something familiar in the background, I was certain I saw that
girl before but different somehow. Then it dawned on me, she was making a
victory sign originally, that's 2 fingers and therefore it must be 2 stars so it
couldn't have represented the flag of the French Mandate for Syria. After some
digging I found my confirmation of the Al Arabiya fraud, not major but perhaps
indicative of their work ethics or rather lack thereof.

It's a fairly sloppy job as well which indicates Al Arabiya is
responsible and they didn't simply unknowingly use an altered source. The black
gradient they added on the left to fade it into the background covers the second
finger but not entirely, they didn't adjust the color there, increasing the
brightness shows it's still a finger with red tip and a green star."
