Bombed the place so hard they killed all the color.
Even the water
The water was Hamas
The color disappeared in 1945 Germany too. There is plenty of debris in the streets.

If you ever saw old photos of Afghanistan, it was beautiful and people enjoyed themselves in the parks and beaches. Then came Russia. Then #USA really flattened it, and taught farmers how to survive growing poppies.
I got a story about what they did in Kabul, and shortly afterwards, my source supposedly committed suicide.
It seems everything is tainted lately, but that's not new. It goes back through 50 years of hell.
Before Russians, came Saudi/Pakistani/CIA backed Islamist terrorists working on destroying socialist government of Taraki.
Don't forget that.

@faab64 @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com Not in the early 70s. That's where those happy pictures are from.
Yes, it was Brzezinski, and he thought he was doing great work. Individuals from the #CIA bragged about this new "Golden Triangle"
I don't know about Taraki, but that should be easy to find.
Well, Taraki was the first socialist leader of Afghanistan that gave equal rights to all women in Afghanistan, not just Kabul. He wasn't a communist, as CIA portrayed him to the world (Wikipedia still does) and did a lot of good before he was removed by a radical extreme communist (many say he was an MI5 recruit) who closed mosques, attacked elders and religious institutes paving the way for Mujahedin to use it as ground for declaring Jihad against them.

Thank you for the information. You must not have been educated in #USA This is a country where you are not allowed to own or operate a corporation unless you meet certain ideological criteria. #TikTok may be exceptional, but Who did Donald Trump's dad, Fred have for a lawyer? Maybe talk about this on December 2nd, the day of the Army-McCarthy hearings.
I am concerned whether the items in the National Archives are still there.
I can't find my story!
Goes back even further and it's kinda about imperialist dreams of global domination. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Geographical_Pivot_of_History
And the Soviet invasion was mostly a consequence of United States meddling in Operation Cyclone. Destabilization was the point.
Krasnov wanted send US troops into Afghanistan again. WTF!
"Most moral army of the world", everyone.
Is this like one of those weight loss before/after? Like why is there no color?
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.
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?
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.
I'm sure there is major destruction, but all I can see on the after image is a heavy color filter that makes it seem like dusty, and harder to look at details
i imagine it's from all the concrete dust from every building in the area being obliterated
