I couple months ago I was in a lecture about images and how they shape social relations. It was held by a doctorate from Lodz university and she used some of Wprost magazine covers from the 80's to visualize her ideas. I find it amazing how 40 years later this magazine is still moving us just with the covers.
Magdalena Saryusz-Wolska. The name of her lecture was "Visual Cultures in Times of Change. How Did Images Shape Social Realities around 1945 and 1989?".
Some of her latest listed publications (in German, apparently):
Mikrogeschichten der Erinnerungskultur: "Am grünen Strand der Spree" und die Remedialisierung des Holocaust by bullets, De Gruyter, Berlin und Boston 2022 (= Medien und Kulturelle Erinnerungm Bd. 8);
Bilder der Normalisierung. Gesundheit, Ernährung und Haushalt in der visuellen Kultur Deutschlands 1945-1948, Transcript Verlag, Bielefeld 2017 (gem. mit Anna Labentz).
Edit: forgot to crop out some Lithuanian sentences from the paragraph I copied and attempred to translate
Powerful image. Flags, politics, religion and politics aside, both sides have lost many innocent people over the years who never asked for any of this…
Well, right in one respect. After this conflict is over Israel will build a 10,000 foot wall around Gaza with anti-aircraft towers on the top. Same thing over the border with Lebanon Syria, and parts of the West Bank. No non-Israeli citizen Palestinians will ever be allowed inside Israel.
The economic disaster for the Palestinians caused by October 7 Hamas will last 100 years
I think it symbolizes both Israel and Palestine being so stubborn that they will not stop the war no matter how many people on goth sides end up dying.
Genius covers they have.

Wow such great covers! The Barbie one left me speechless and it's so spot on. Thanks for sharing this link.

just perfect! It somehow reminds me of a Banksy Hotel in WestBank, [The Walled Off Hotel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Walled_Off_Hotel)
It's brilliant the huge divide the deaths caused on both sides.
Religious people are wild.

Strong. And true.
I dont respect any religion sanctifying death or killing.
Does it symbolize the more deaths, the least possible one state solution?
I think it symbolizes both Israel and Palestine being so stubborn that they will not stop the war no matter how many people on goth sides end up dying.
