pov 5 replies violating my self imposed rule not to discuss politics but thought this was an important article to share i ve bolded some of his remarks the author bassem eid is a palestinian human rights activist who lives in judea and samaria he published this article in newsweek magazine on march 5th and updated it on march 7th my fellow palestinians stop blaming the jews hamas is starving our brothers and sisters in gaza opinion by bassem eid how can we understand the terrible self imposed deprivation now gripping the people of gaza the heart wrenching stampede that unfolded in gaza last thursday casts a stark light on the brutal reality of life under hamas s rule it is a somber reminder of the urgent need to address the suffering of gaza s people but it also serves as a crucial moment to clarify the accountability for gaza s plight the chaos and desperation that led to this tragedy are direct outcomes of hamas s governance which prioritizes violence and killing jews over the welfare of its population the stampede occurring during an aid distribution tragically underscores the severe humanitarian crisis in gaza driven by sheer desperation people found themselves in a deadly crush a situation that should never occur to pave the way for peace and stability for my brothers and sisters in gaza it is essential to acknowledge the root causes of their suffering hamas s diversion of resources suppression of dissent and neglect of civilian needs must end the international community along with the palestinian people must demand accountability and seek a future where governance prioritizes human dignity economic opportunity and peaceful coexistence only through addressing these fundamental issues can we hope to prevent such tragedies and build a brighter future for all palestinians as a palestinian human rights activist deeply sympathetic to the plight of the palestinian people and the complexities of the israeli palestinian conflict i can tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt that the terrorist group hamas is responsible for the suffering of gazans outside obfuscators often try to misplace blame for the suffering onto israel s blockade on the strip but a brief consideration of the timeline shows the absurdity of this conceit israel unilaterally withdrew all of its soldiers and settlers from gaza in 2005 within hours hamas aligned looters had stripped bare and destroyed the greenhouses and farms israel had left behind for local sustenance in 2007 hamas seized military control of the strip in a brutal local coup against the internationally recognized palestinian authority pa throwing its supporters off the roofs of buildings rape torture and bodily mutilation were reported on a systemic scale and over 240 innocents were dragged back to hamas s terror emirate in gaza as hostages hamas is still holding over 130 of these innocents hostage as a human rights activist and a human being i recognize that it defies all rules of geopolitics morality and human nature to suggest that israel not respond militarily to dismantle hamas and rescue its people who we now know are being raped and psychologically tortured in captivity and yet amidst the intensity of the ongoing war israel has facilitated the transfer of international aid to hamas controlled territory while hamas has been seizing these essential supplies and transferring them for military purposes hamas has built a massive network of tunnels under the strip that exceeds the new york subway system in length where hostages have been kept underground without light and used as human shields to protect terrorist commanders hamas s cannibalization of the civilian economy has gone so far as to dig up water pipes and convert them into makeshift rockets to fire into israeli territory beyond economic manipulation hamas s rule in gaza is marked by a severe crackdown on political dissent opposition and press voices are silenced often violently with human rights organizations reporting arbitrary arrests torture and extrajudicial killings lgbtq individuals and anyone else who defies the harsh religious extremism governing all life in the strip face torture and execution the real victims of hamas s governance are the ordinary people of gaza who endure the consequences of their rulers bloodthirsty actions the youth facing u nemployment rates that are among the highest in the world see their futures evaporate in an economy stifled by mismanagement and artificially exacerbated conflict the sick suffer from a health care system in disarray with hospitals overwhelmed and under resourced in part due to the diversion of medical supplies to serve hamas s fighters and the repurposing of these healing spaces into military command centers as a palestinian human rights activist my loyalty lies with the palestinian people whose rights and future have been compromised by a cruel leadership that prioritizes military and terrorist objectives over human welfare for those of us caught in the middle the path forward requires an honest confrontation with the reality of our situation the plight of gaza is a wound at the heart of the middle east a testament to the failures of an international policy that has foolishly coddled a brutal tyrant and implacable foe only by dismantling the governing rule of the irredeemable hamas can we begin to heal this wound and move toward a future where the rights and dignity of all palestinians are upheld and peace and economic development alongside our israeli neighbors can at last bear fruit for both sides

vadim bocharov on pexels com why are people never smiling in old photographs first developed in the late 1820s photography combined art and science into one medium capable of capturing an image in the moment the innovation transformed recorded history into something that could be documented in pictures as well as text as the technology advanced the medium exploded in popularity making it possible for families to create snapshots of memories for future generations to appreciate these early photographic portraits transport us back in time painting a picture of a different way of life families were larger clothes were bulkier and postures were noticeably stiff and formal but perhaps the most conspicuous difference of all is that no one ever seemed to smile the somber expressions preserved in early photographs might lead us to assume that past generations led austere and joyless lives however the lack of joviality in these snapshots can be attributed to several other factors here s the truth behind those stern expressions in old photos photo credit science society picture library via getty images long exposure times in the earliest days of photography the lengthy exposure periods made it impractical to photograph people for instance french inventor nicéphore niépce s 1826 view from the window at le gras credited as the oldest surviving photograph required an exposure time of eight hours it was more than a decade before louis daguerre s 1839 invention of the daguerreotype made portrait photography practical but even then it was a relatively slow and meticulous process that required the subject to remain still for as long as 20 minutes by the early 1840s photographic technology had advanced further and the daguerreotype images that once required a 20 minute exposure needed only 20 seconds to process still even modern photo subjects understand the difficulty of maintaining an open mouthed smile for any amount of time it only takes a few moments for a candid smile to turn into something more like an awkward grimace and anyone who has dealt with a restless child can attest that more than a few seconds of remaining motionless is a formidable challenge to minimize movement and guarantee a sharp image children were sometimes put into restraints for the length of a photo shoot additionally until the 20th century the expense of photographic equipment and the toxic and dangerous chemicals needed to process film meant that most photographs were taken by professional photographers working out of studios or traveling with their equipment a photography session was a time consuming and pricey undertaking it cost the average person as much as three or more months salary and a person might only be photographed a few times in their life the requirement for stillness combined with the novelty and cost of posing for a professional photographer created an atmosphere where it was simply easier to maintain a neutral or serious expression but even once the technology existed to capture more relaxed expressions it was a long time before smiling in photos became the norm photo credit universalimagesgroup via getty images early photographers imitated portrait artists though technological limitations are frequently cited as the reason for the solemn expressions in old photographs it wasn t the only reason our ancestors so often appeared solemn in front of the camera one notable feature shared by artist portraits from the 17th and 18th centuries and photographs from the early 19th century is the presence of stoic enigmatic expressions on the subjects faces as portrait artist miss la creevy observes in charles dickens novel nicholas nickleby only two types of expressions existed in portraiture the serious and the smirk before photography a painted portrait was the only way to preserve someone s image for posterity having your portrait painted was an activity associated with wealth and social status and accordingly the art form had its own rules and expectations this formal portraiture proved to be a big influence on early photographers who featured their subjects in ways that represented their social status occupation or other interests the social mores associated with painted portraits carried over into photographic portraiture and smiling was discouraged photo credit heritage images hulton archive via getty images social etiquette frowned upon smiling some historians believe that advancements and accessibility in dental care may have contributed to more smiles eventually being captured on film other experts disagree noting that for centuries a lack of dental care was the norm and thus wasn t considered to detract from a person s physical appeal still smiling for a photograph wasn t commonplace in the early days of photography in fact instead of the modern directive to say cheese to produce a wide toothy grin some photographers in victorian era england asked people to say prunes forcing them to tighten their lips for a more socially acceptable expression based on the beauty standards and etiquette of the time in an era where open mouthed grins were considered unacceptable and a smile was believed to signify someone was poor drunk lewd or otherwise corrupt it was rare for someone to choose to smile in a portrait and even less likely that a photographer would encourage it that all changed however with kodak s democratization of photography in the early 20th century photo credit bettmann via getty images the kodak revolution as photography became more accessible in the late 19th century a wider variety of people took and sat for photographs and what was acceptable in portrait photography became less rigid in 1888 kodak founder george eastman started a photographic revolution that put cameras in the hands of amateur photographers and gave them an instruction manual on how to take good photos in 1900 the kodak brownie camera was marketed for children and sold for just 1 creating a photography craze that appealed to adults as well by the 1920s a century after the first landscape photographs were captured on film more relaxed postures and a greater variety of expressions including closed and open mouthed smiles were common in both amateur and professional photography with the advent of color photography the popularity of candid photos and the rise of affordable personal cameras capturing an array of expressions including moments of genuine joy became the gold standard share this tweet print opens in new window print more share on tumblr like loading this

friend 4 replies when it comes to your haircut color or nails chances are you see the same person fairly often and develop a relationship it s quite an intimate one exchanging news about our lives and families but can it go too far for what s ultimately still a transactional relationship i was confronted with this recently when a new acquaintance revealed that she was looking for a new hair stylist l said she d given up on someone she d been going to for 6 years when at her last appointment in october he was unsupportive of how she felt after the hamas massacre she said i want people to know me no matter the circumstances my reaction was mixed i empathized with her feelings but think it was unwise at best to bring up such a hot button topic even if she anticipated that he d react the same way she had why bring politics to the salon i was brought up in a family that was very private and didn t believe in oversharing the curse of the modern world imho no matter how much i like my current beauty team i simply don t need or want everyone to be my best friend so while i m happy to talk about many personal topics there are some that just seem inappropriate i go to the salon for a fun lighthearted relaxing experience not to validate my opinions p s i don t want to chat when i m getting a massage either how about you dear readers photo by cottonbro studio on pexels com share this
