Attempted equivalence?

I'm sure the point of this picture is to equate the Israeli "conquerors" with Islamists who carry around large banners of their leaders, as well. Anyone out there know what this is really a picture of? And what the caption says?

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*Unlike Reuters, I've never claimed to be an "impartial" observer. If they were to abandon doing that, perhaps they'd have a more reputable standing in the world. Or at least, people would know up front what they stand for.

Hope this clears it up,
Brian
