I'll try it again. It aint the picture in itself that pisses me off. Its how he used it to try to score some cheap point or whatever.
This [picture of soldier] leads to this [picture of a suicide bombing].
Apparently he must be under the impression that we all are incapable of coherent thought, and he feels a need to explain stuff with pictures.
I would never post a picture of Yasser Arafat and a picture of some dead guy in Jenin and caption it "This leads to this" or whatever. It is sick, disrespectful and it is tasteless.
You must really be into radio if a little short sharp vision takes a bite out of your honed intellectualism.
If I wanted to attack your pretensions with a little
see spot run A to B photography I could've gone the dismembered bodies, perhaps a little Auschwitz class oppression with a liberal helping of the Anti-palestinian/Anti-Isreali propaganda line, but remarkably I didn't.
Please do take your tear stained eyes back to the pictures, and have a real
HARD look. Perhaps you might see a picture of a distressed family under the eyes of a rifle weilding soldier
(yes Eagler there could be a different context - But the original article I first saw this picture refered to the forced evictions of Palestinian families from thier homes) and how simple and short the journey really has become from living under the IDF's rifles to the rational of committing such atrocities to further your causes, like the pictures the BBC so
ignorantly expressed themselves...But what would they know, haven't they heard of the BBC radio either?
