Title: photographer 'horrified' at use of bloody shoe photo
Post by: Isaac on December 17, 2014, 11:59:36 am
"A photo of a small child's bloody shoe has been widely shared on Twitter and Facebook in the wake of a Taliban attack on a school in Pakistan … it has been used in the past by both sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-30498745)."

'Horrified' is the wrong choice of adjective here, but I can understand he'd be upset/angry that his work has been stolen.

And the Jews killed the Arabs/
And the Arabs killed the hostages/
And that is the news/
And is it any wonder/
That the monkey's confused/"

Modernity's foundation has always been murder, torture, and genocide in the name of progress since the days of Christopher Columbus. No?

Genocide is different. I dare say you'll find some examples in the Old Testament.

However that was not labeled as something central to the ideology or the Pursuit of Profit ( scratch that,  I mean Happiness) in the name of choice, freedom, self-determination, and endless progress.
