Apart from just being so beautiful, so full of attention to nature and the world around us, his work also explored how photography can’t capture or communicate the seeing and feeling with two eyes. To that end, he embraced photography, attempted to express movement and volume using photo camera(s), his polaroid works are beautiful, and then he came back to painting. He wrote and spoke about his process and "seeing" the world a lot, I really recommend it if you are into visual arts.

even Putin’s FSB with all its arbitrary arrests and torture in jail is very very far away from public lashing and hangings, from using actual children in real fighting (beyond kindergartens dressed as tanks which is disgusting but different than sending kids to demine fields or be used as human shields). The scale of torture and jailing is also different with Iran probably being closer to Stalin’s 1937.

over 5000 israelis and under 10 (or I assume 0) innocent palestinian children purposely shot in the head (but yes, in the history of israel there must have been some psychopaths in the army, hopefully punished).

you realize Teheran has a square with a countdown to complete destruction of Israel and they make people chant death to Israel death to America as part of normal culture?

did you survey personally or did Aljazeera do? Liar

you do not seem to have the heart and empathy for the israelis being attacked and killed by rockets and drones and killed in terrorist attacks and seem to be very certain in information you gathered online and not from direct experience. You definitely picked a side - and blaming one side for all evil, especially in this conflict simply shows just how selective your empathy is, again, especially considering You have no personal stakes. you are demonizing a whole nation under deadly attacks and going to great lengths closing your eyes to the suffering of people you demonize

Hezbollah, Iran and extremely difficult economic situation in Lebanon, meaning there are no social lifts apart from taking Iran’s money and “being part of resistance” facing pretty certain death, plus nasty antisemitic culture and propaganda. These are the reasons Hezbollah attacked Israel and Israel issued evacuation instructions to the civilian population.

BTW the extremely difficult situation is also caused by Hezbollah, Iran and PLO before that.

im sure you are lying and shame on you comparing people driving maybachs to concentration camps in which millions of jews perished. people from west bank can travel via jordan no problem and so could gazans through egypt. lies and hate as in all the rest of the comments

anyone with a brain can google “hengaw credibility” and see what organizations rely on its reports. I will not give you, an iranian agent, any more attention

I disengage, no need to argue with psychopaths. I am sure you never held a gun or would shoot anyone, keyboard warrior.

If anyone reads his comments I strongly recommend verifying everything he says as it îs factually incorrect, but is based on russian style firehose of falsehood mixing in couple of sensible statements (like the fact that Rabin was killed by an extremist).

They are different from other palestinian arabs in that they hold israeli citizenship. Not sure how this can be hilarious.

Why don’t you say billions of palestinians in concentration camps? The type of concentration camps with hundred thousand euro luxury cars https://www.facebook.com/LUXURYAUTOMOBILECO/ and corrupt politicians living in mansions. You have no idea what you’re talking about, you never been to Palestine or Israel and you drown in your hateful lies

I will repeat this question - do you hate Russians? do you hate Syrians/Alawites? Do you hate Turks and Iraqis for what they do to Kurds? Do you hate Japanese for what they did in WWII? Do you hate Americans for Vietnam / Afganistan / Iraq? Do you hate Chinese for Tibet, Xinjiang? Do you hate the British for Bengal Famine? France for Algeria? Pakistan for Bangladesh? Saudis for Yemen? Myanmar for Rohinja? Serbs for Kosovo? No. You hate on Jews. All of these conflicts have significantly more deaths than Arab/Israeli conflict. All of them are much more clear cut than Israel that defends itself since 1948 and Jews that defend themselves from hate crimes against civilians since 1920s.

respected people from german kurdish and iranian community share these reports, i do not trust random blogs. you can easily see yourself security forces shooting at protesters - it’s you who seems to be blind

Some Unusual Trees 4 months ago

A while back I read this book "The Secret Life of Trees: How They Live and Why They Matter" from Colin Tudge and I was blown away by the fact that Mangrove roots effectively breath with the rhythm of tide. As the water recedes, change in pressure and the air is drawn into the pores. As the water comes in, pressure pushes stale air out and seals the pores. Trees are beautiful.

suggesting that US is under “control” of a small jewish state and is not acting out its own interest and motivations, is the typical “jews control the world” antisemitic trope. you saying it aint it is not an actual argument.
