I'd love to see the work...

Wish I could be there and even more wish my best friend Eman who is exhibiting as well. Mabrook habibti! Mon, 19 Oct 2009 23:27:10 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156357 It will be up on 100Eyes.....but if you are in London the prints and discussion are a must-see. Tue, 20 Oct 2009 04:59:23 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156371 Ta - and no need for the snide remarks there, Andy... look forward to seeing it on 100Eyes. Great work, guys. Tue, 20 Oct 2009 07:58:54 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156377 Wasn't intended to be snide Ed, sorry if it came off that way. Its a bit of a joke as we were wanting to keep this quiet internet version quiet.....we really hope that people will attend the exhibit and especially the forum as these photographers will undoubtedly have a lot to say. Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:12:22 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156388 No worries - nothing like a monster print on the wall, right! Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:53:23 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156396 Its an important show, a collaborative effort if you are in London you should turn out to support this project....there will be an online version, but the prints are stunning and the discussion is going to be very interesting. Wed, 21 Oct 2009 20:11:02 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156446 I am delighted to add Mohammed Abed to the list of photographers present at the exhibition. Also present will be: Abid Katib Tal Cohen Uriel Sinai Jafar Ishtayeh Lior Mizrahi Wed, 21 Oct 2009 23:35:20 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156452 Andy,sounds impressive, what size were the prints you saw? Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:09:37 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156453 I haven't seen them Barry, but I believe they are 20x30. Yoav is handling all of that, and he has done the edit for the magazine as well. Its Yoav's baby. The Israeli/Palestinian group effort that is at the core of this....and that the photographers are in many cases photographing the effects on their own communities. Thats why I think the discussion will be a must see... Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:49:36 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156498 It is unfortunate that these kinds of cooperative efforts between Palestinian/Israeli photographers, musicians, etc. is such a rarity. Failure to support them should be considered a war crime.

Some great work by those guys.

Hope that can also be discussed during the panel discussion on Monday. Looking forward to that, see you guys there. Ar Sat, 24 Oct 2009 10:42:27 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156591 I just wish Asim, you hadn't used my e-mail asking you for any insights and linking to a rough edit as a press release. Sat, 24 Oct 2009 11:53:37 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156594 In general I agree with a lot of what Asim has to say about many things.......its often a interesting point of view. But I wish he had chosen better words there. Is the proportion of suffering or oppression shown correct (as this seems to be the main point of the attack)? I really didn't count what Yoav included....in other words, for me, there was no scorecard. Certainly I would never argue that the Palestinians are not by far the victims of both the Israelis and their own leadership. But tell me, the Israeli woman who is killed in her bed in a rocket attack. is she not a victim of her own government as well? And isn't this the point? Aren't the many of the innocents on both sides victims of the same forces? This isn't to deny Zionism, or Islamic extremism, its just to say that most people are neither and often they are the ones to suffer at the hands of the politicians. The goal of the exhibition as I saw it was not to present a complete documentation of this particular issue. That would require much, much more and is beyond the scope of what Yoav could do. It was to make a statement of cooperation between the Palestinian and Israeli photographers and in that it has been successful. And hopefully it will increase awareness about some of the great work done by the Palestinian photographers, who until this year have been under appreciated. Fady Adwan, Mohammed Abed, Adib Katib, these boys are amazing. At this same time hopefully this exhibit also shows that the differences between people can be overcome and that there is some hope for cooperation and peace. Isn't that the goal? In other words, one blood.

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 18:29:34 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156615 hey barry :)))) the 1st draft, which i wrote this morning after running and reading is already long ;))....i need a day break (have been thinking/writing about it all day yesterday since Asim wrote me).... i hope my response doesnt disappoint ;))...but, it will be long, what else is new ;))))) Sat, 24 Oct 2009 19:00:54 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156618 I am looking forward to your response Bob but don't worry, my nervous system can cope with the delay. I would like to join the Mark Saeger, Andy Levin point of view and add that to use the exhibition to continue or even escalate the unending Israeli/Palestinian argument of who is right and who is wrong is irresponsible for anyone who has the slightest hope of peace in the region. The exhibition, as I understand it, is meant to transcend this argument and demonstrate a sympathetic understanding of all the victims of this 61 year old war. Sat, 24 Oct 2009 20:41:09 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156624 Actually Arafiqui makes a very valid point about captioning. I remember seeing an exhibition of the Kenyan electoral crisis in Nairobi last year. I left angry and bewildered at the photos, which seemed to me to be an orgy of suffering and indignity. Captions would have given that exhibition more context and certainly more journalistic integrity. So I think the fact that there is captions at this exhibition is important. I disagree with Mark that it is 'necessary' to look at pictures of death and suffering, which is why I won't personally be going to the exhibition or looking at 100 eyes. Respect to you Yoav for bringing together something that you obviously care deeply about and believe in. Sat, 24 Oct 2009 23:36:11 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156629 There are captions in the exhibit and on-line....... Sat, 24 Oct 2009 23:56:24 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156630 Read back Andy, I said that the fact that they are a part of the exhibition was important. Unfortunately Arafiqui didn't know they were present when he wrote his post. Had he known I'm sure he would have written something different. It's the death and suffering I don't want to see. Sun, 25 Oct 2009 00:24:25 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156634 Mark, what do they speak for themselves? I'm surprised that having spent so much time in this part of the world you would find it 'necessary' to view such images. Myself I don't. That says something about me, not the images. Sun, 25 Oct 2009 01:00:35 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156638 Why?

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 01:13:05 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156642 Or maybe call it "nospin" Sun, 25 Oct 2009 01:19:23 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156643 if I was in London I would go to the talk on monday.

Once again, before the sidetrack, respect to Yoav for pulling this exhibition together; it does send out an important message. Sun, 25 Oct 2009 01:26:34 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156645 Oh yeah, and the fact that I won't be looking at this on 100 Eyes (because I haven't got Mark tucked up in bed with me to stroke my hand) gives me more time to look at all the other great stuff on that website. Sun, 25 Oct 2009 01:31:41 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/beware-the-cost-of-war-israeli-palestinian-war-photography-exhibition-in-london01#156646 Thanks, Duckrabbit.

We must learn how to compromise-- a quality that is often absent in the Israeli/Palestinian situation.
