Palestine, Partition, and the Photographic Imagination (Ariella Azoulay)
I like this picture of a bus connecting Haifa and Beirut from the time of the British Mandate in Palestine, which I found in an article from +972 by Ariella Azoulay. And the ruins of Lod are, I’m afraid to say … Continue reading

Nakba and Living Memory (Laura Levitt) (Ari Shavit)
I’m about to start a line of posts about Israel and Zionism and their Jewish critics. I do so for reasons professional and personal. Whatever you think of the critics, they are right to put the finger not on 1967and … Continue reading
