Is there a link to a story behind these photos?

There's a reason I suppose but still I doubt she would have(Or rather her parents would have let her) sign a bomb "with love" unless they actually suffered because of violence. Either that or she's just evil.

She's just a kid who most likely is not even thinking about where that bomb is really going. Before the age of 15 ish we are all just sponges and shouldn't really be blamed for what we absorb from around us.

I don't know can we argue that they changed the world. But the world has never been the same since the Simpsons started on the Tracey Ullman show.

Pete and URL are right. Israelis are brainwashed from a young age re: Palestinians, it's almost manufactured hatred. There is hatred going the opposite way too, but it is justified, can almost be condoned.

His name is Ty Ziegel, there was a good article on him in the Sunday Times magazine a while back.

Thats a bit more acceptable than the Israeli one tbh because the first was a retaliation for a generally unprovoked attack on pearl harbour so they signed the bomb to vent so to speak.

The 2nd was probably very soon after 9/11, It was probably heading to afghanistan to be used against the taliban and al-qaeda who had just killed thousands of innocents so I guess their anger is well justified.

The 3rd definitley isn't WW2 buts it black and white so I have no idea about that, its not as nasty as signing a bomb "With love"

theres tons of terrorist attacks on isreal every year.
same thing really just no awwh inspiring attacks on the scale of 9/11

True, I hope one day she looks back and sees sense.

@Mousey
I am aware, I am not anti-israel or anti-palestine. I know Israel is regularly terrorised by neighboring countries and they retaliate which is fine. Writing "May this be the last rising sun" is a bit war-like and threatening which is pretty normal for war. But writing "With Love" just seems nastier for some reason.

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted as yet - famous photo taken by Robert Capa. His name was Federico Borrell García and he was fighting on the Republican side against franco. The photo captures the moment of his death.

This photo represents the first moment that the British Goverment had to face up to their many miscarriages of justice that they were guilty of.

Absolutely incredible achievement in the world of sport. And he has the ability to take even more of the World Record.

The Iranian Embassy Siege of 1980 was a siege of the Iranian embassy in London after it had been taken over by Iranian Arab separatists. The siege was ended when British special forces, the Special Air Service (SAS), stormed the building in Operation Nimrod. The incident brought the SAS to the world's attention as the whole episode was played out in front of the media.

Can he not sue the people making T-Shirts etc?

Stewie Griffin · 28-11-2009 12:34am

I'm looking for a picture that I saw on a LC English Mock Paper around 2001 of a flooded street somewhere in Asia (I think?). The picture shows just a hand above the surface of the flood water holding a pitcher of (presumably) water.

Does anyone recognise the description given? Would love to get my hands on it.

Thanks.

Going by the link in the other post - he doesn't want any money from it.

Irish artist Jim Fitzpatrick says he wants his iconic image of Che Guevara to become a money spinner. However, Fitzpatrick (above) says he doesn't want to profit from the image...
Along with signing over the copyright of his Che image to the William Soler Pediatric Cardiology Hospital in Havana, Fitzpatrick says he wants to gift the original artwork to the Che Guevara Lynch archive run by his widow, Aleida March.

Remarkably dull overpraised film.

its a bit odd that a communist revolutionary ends up as a capitalist brand.

btw did this thread get shorter?

Yea, I'm aware theres debate about that but it's all really inconclusive and the truth is that we will probably never really know.

The two murders that started the backlash against gangland crime in this country and the setting up of the Criminal Assets Bureau.

To me this is what real and actual evil looks like.

Roy Whiting, paedo who murdered sarah payne pictured at his arrest and again after a few years in prison.
The mask has dropped and the monster beneath is revealed.

The difference between those two photos is incredible. The first he looks so respectable and the second one, he is barely more than rabid beast.

Shocking isn't it.

Dont think its been posted already, but this picture sticks out in my mind more than the pictures of the devastation.

The chilling photograph was found by investigators in a camera buried in the rubble after the Omagh Bombing, the picture was taken in the minutes before the bomb exploded, clearly showing the red car - with its deadly hidden cargo - beside dozens of oblivious civilians
