Rationale edit

• Purpose and character: To illustrate Wikipedia's article on the Hurva Synagogue. Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia and our articles and illustrations serve educational purposes.
• Nature of the copied work: This image is an iconic photograph of the devastation wrought during Jordan's occupation of Eastern Jerusalem, a significant event in the history of the 20th century. Wikipedia's copy is a low-resolution version of the photograph.
• Amount and substantiality: One image displayed. The image has been prolific in Israeli culture, the news media, and scholarly works. It has been reproduced on Israeli government websites, newspaper websites, etc. Because this is one of the most recognizable images of the Hurva Synagogue, displaying a low-resolution version on Wikipedia does not lessen the value of the image for the copyright holder.
• Uniquness: Because the image depicts a historic event and is itself a unique photo, no opportunity now exists to create a free-licence variant of this image.
