4 In A Picture, But Why 4?
A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words. When it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian war, various pictures are out there. None of them are pretty. Yet, here I am referring to a different picture.
Since 7 October I have made new acquaintances. All of them talked about Israeli-Palestinian war. Some touched the tragedy briefly. Some others were obsessed about it. At the end, a picture became clear. Now, I can summarize it with one sentence: A picture is worth a thousand words. Yet, I am also talking about 4 in picture, but why 4?
ERBIL GUNASTI: MOST PUBLISHED PHOTOGRAPHER
I take photos like a professional photographer. In fact, I am. Perhaps, I am the most published photographer in the world. I wonder if there is someone else who has taken as many photos as I have.
I am talking about Hollywood stars, heads of state, and other global names, like athletes and models, for example. No I don’t do it on the Red Carpet. No, I don’t do it from across the street.
I take private photos, most probably at home. Major media outlets publish them promptly. I have been doing it for more than two decades. Hence, I can easily be the “most published” photographer in the world.
4 In A Picture, But Why 4?
Israelis and Globalists
The picture regarding the Israeli-Palestinian war is complicated. No one knows how or why it started. No one also knows where it is going or who is behind it or in control, if anyone. That’s why, I don’t have a picture to share.
Israelis May Think They Have The Picture
However, the regime in Israel may think it has a picture to share. Ironically, it has no choice but to hold on to the picture at hand. Alternative pictures may never be good enough from them. They have too many adversaries.
Globalists May Think They Have The Picture
Naturally, Globalists are in play in this Israeli-Palestinian mess. To my mind, they created this picture, but that is another matter. At this juncture, the picture at hand may not be what they thought they would have so far. But that is what they got.
4 In A Picture, But Why 4?
Turks and Americans
Meanwhile, Turks must have a very clear picture of their own. Whereas common sense Americans must equally have one that is not at all clear, in fact, very blurry.
Turks Would Have One For Sure
Looking at Somalia and Libya should be enough to get the idea. Also, looking at the Russia-Ukraine war should reinforce how Turks move alone sizing up pictures. After that, their picture, in due process, becomes perfectly bright.
Remember how the “Polaroid” camera became a sensation in the 1970s. One had to wait a few minutes for the instant photograph to come out in full picture. Much like what Turks have been doing all their history. It takes a little while but then it clears.
Common Sense Americans Do Not Have A Clear One
Unfortunately for the common sense Americans, the picture is worrisome, at best. They are in the dark. They can not see anything, never mind a picture. That applies for the US Foreign Policy Objectives but also to the domestic problems.
Neither picture is anything to write home about. So, let’s not delve into the picture of what the US is doing in the eastern Mediterranean Sea or northern Syria! No one would want to see it or accept they exist.
So What Is Missing In This Picture Then?
First of all, how many more people must have been in this picture that I cropped?
One, two, three, or four? Yes, all four numbers are relevant!
So then, who may be the four and where they in this picture, all along?
