    Default Palestine Photo Reportage

    Palestinian Photo Journal

    An interesting behind the headlines look at Palestine. The writer is a Palestinian sympathiser, but the work stands on it's own merits too.

    Good pictures, but heavily slanted. Here's one caption:

    It's a toy gun. Most boys at some point in their lives will have had a cap gun as a toy. In Palestine the children are no different.
    Erm, yes, haha, but in German photo-albums it´s not like 3 of 4 children have a gun in their hand or are learning to crawl around in the streets......

    I know, you already said the comments are bad and they really are.
    Concerning the pics, some I found quite nice, but not all of them.

    Do German children grow up amidst gunfire, bulldozers, and airstrikes?

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
