Is this like one of those weight loss before/after? Like why is there no color?
This might surprise you but carpetbombing an entire city tends to destroy most of the colourful materials and cover what's left in gray dust
What would that have to do with weight loss? It seems to me that it’s all rubble, hence the color.
Nah look at the sand on the top of the image. There are no buildings there, so why is it vividly colored in the top image and has zero colors in the bottom image? Someone has turned up the saturation on the top image to 11 and 0 on the bottom image.
Like what is happening in Gaza is terrible, but stuff like this just gives the other side something to shoot at. And I feel the image would hit harder if it were a fair comparison, so the same settings for both. The beach still being beach colored and the streets being gray with rubble would hit hard.
The reason he mentioned weight-loss is because it's a trope that people showing before and after pictures of weight-loss often use techniques like this to show a more pronounced (or even any) effect. In the before they have bad posture, use an unflattering angle and reduce the colors to make them look worse. In the after picture they have perfect posture (often even holding in a breath and clenching muscles), use a good angle and crank up the saturation a bit.
Could it not just be that everything in the area is now covered in a layer of grey dust from all the destroyed concrete buildings?
If you compare to some on the ground photos the predominant colour seems to be a dull grey.
And where do you think all that dust and rubble from the homes that have been destroyed goes?? You can see the wet dust on the coastline, obviously the water is a lot darker with all the rubble getting blown and maybe even bulldozed into it...
why is it always a fedditorger with the trivializations of the palestinian holocaust?? Like why do you think messing with the color palette is even necessary?
You can see the yellow sand in the ground pictures, just like in the before picture, except for turning the color up in that one. You see nothing at all in the after picture. Same (still standing) red roofs are mostly grey, the water is mostly grey, everything is grey. Very unlike the ground pictures.
The people there have to deal with the horrors of war on a daily basis. No need to doctor images. The sheer destruction, which is easier to see in the ground pictures anyway, is plenty of proof.
The natural soil/sand is reddish brown, concrete dust and explosive residue is gray.
It's almost like Israel themselves have said hundreds of times that they intend to destroy literally everything in Palestine, including the Earth it sits on. And here you are still trying to cover for them, pathetic.
@Eheran
are you stupid, or just being an asshole?
Perhaps a mirror would help you here?
