Thanks Vandoren for the pictures ... rarely do you see joy and happiness from this part of the world. Good on my palastinian brothers and sisters to be able to think positively and enjoy life , even if for one day while being killed and occupied.

Allah bless you

Vandoren , more pictures please.

thats a bit of a naive response to some of the extremely polished pictures that do not represent at all anything in gaza...

100 pictures from the one day of Eid a year BEFORE the three year Gaza siege and they represent Gaza?

Look for subliminal messages Dubai Boy and Sukkri... Look at that kite that boy's flying and maybe yu'll know what others are trying to show the world of Gaza...

What are you trying to say that I'm israeli spy or that all these photos not from Gaza city?I think your problem is stereotypes.You always see Gaza like only ruins,with demostrations each day and Hamas,but you forget about average people in Gaza.

Anyway i don't want politics in this thread so if want say me something do it in PM,if want talk about Gaza go to special topic.

Well,i agree they have rotten life,who said that Gaza city is paradise?
But you forget again that these pictures was taken mostly in palestinian sourses.I think that these photos show palestinians in positive light by the way.

Maybe enough off topic?

And special for you photos of the some average working people in Gaza city.Are they actors or what?

i didnt talk politics dude, i discussed reality...
How real are pictures of buildings that no longer exist and happier faces that no longer exist, in representing a city today? theres no politics in that!


You always see Gaza like only ruins

Yes. And so does the whole world.

with demostrations each day and Hamas
I didnt mention ANYTHING about demonstrations... But Gazans are more concerned with daily survival than demonstrations... Maybe you meant daily bombings and airaids and shootings and bulldozing houses? or daily siege?
I didn't mention anything about Hamas either. Terrorists or not, they are the government of the territory. I don't wanna talk politics either so Hamas has nothing to do with this, so let's not talk about them...


but you forget about average people in Gaza.

I think its actually YOU who forget about average people in Gaza!

I think your problem is stereotypes.
I think yours is propaganda. Put pictures that represent reality, the town as it is today, the buildings as they are demolished today and the faces as broken as they are today.

What are you trying to say that I'm israeli spy or that all these photos not from Gaza city?
Exactly. Im saying these photos do not represent at all Gaza city today. No offense I think everyone who sees them probably laughs cause they sort of insult people's intelligence. It's like posting pictures of pre-war Kabul in the 1960's with its clubs and theaters to represent Afghanistan today...

Anyway i don't want politics in this thread
No one does dude... we want good pictures that show us how Gaza looks now, today...

Peace...

How you think why he upload this photo too?He don't know that it was shot in 2007 or he lie coz that photo show his reality?

Okay, Gaza is flourishing and its people happy with a belly full of sweets and barbequed lamb...
And construction is going on full swing and flourishing even though theres no cement or building material being imported whatsoever (it can be used for terrorism... somehow...)

I suppose thats the truth yure conveying...fair enough... Apparently some Lebanese and Irishmen and Turks and Iranians and Norwegians and Swedes and Frenchmen and Nobel prize laureates and governments and peoples etc. etc. etc. tend to disagree enough to risk their lives to get ships full of the most basic aid into this part of the world...

Keep on painting that pretty picture... we remember Kim Jong-il in that flourishing beautiful and rich place called Pyongyang...

Peace.
