<underfire> Brother's photo, checkpoint borders 3

[Rene Gabri]

Who should have copyright on this image? Bracha L. Ettinger, his brother
(who is bracha¹s brother?), or the (presumed) unidentified Palestinian male
who is subjected to this violence? Who owns this violence? Who owns up to
this violence? Where is the intersection between our relations of property
and this occupation? Even the violence bestowed upon Palestinians is not
their own property? Where is the violence taking place here, in this scene?
What is the role of this image in a discussion like this? What deliberations
were made in allowing it to remain, to post to the list?

I have to say that this session of underfire has for me been the most staged
and symptomatic of ³orchestration² as opposed to moderation.
I wonder just how many posts have been refused? And what are the categories
and economies of decision making which determine what stays and what goes?

Why did these images remain? What do they communicate? To whom are they
intended? And just what is being represented (because maybe we should stop
speaking of communication for a minute) here?

sincerely, with a little less compassion, rene
