My world is shaking (part i).
(Zero AI – 100% human created content).
I have to break the silence, even the last is the most suitable way of being these days on Social Media for me. I’m kind of speechless about happening. And can’t be anymore in searches of those who are responsible for the current situation. Recently i published my previous I’m not here. This isn’t happening. post. Nothing has changed since then. The only pain for the killed, kidnapped, missing Israeli people, and now the civilian casualties in Gaza.
I just made a short pause in my narrative. I heard the low booms of the explosion 20 km from here missiles. The center of the country was under attack again. The new “normal” quickly became the norm. I don’t have a TV at home and also don’t listen to any radio station streaming activity or the news. Knowing what is happening every single minute is not helping. Just makes you nervous and stressed. I don’t have the privilege of being hysterical or sinking into a deep depression – my mom has been living with me since the first day of this war, and I continue my daily job in the company, so, I need to stay sane and energetic, even sometimes I have no power for this. I made a call to my brother, living in the city where right now was a direct missile hit on a residential building. Now I can continue my writing therapy.
Last weekend I visited Tel Aviv and walked for a few hours in the center of the city. This photo series is the result of this walk. Everything, that I have to say is written, painted, and exposed in the streets. It wasn’t too crowded, but absolutely not empty. Nothing can destroy and stop the life.
These days, those who support Hamas, also support the authorities of Iran, sponsoring Hamas, and from another side discriminate and oppress women of their own country, triggering months of some of the biggest protests against the Islamic Republic’s Shi’ite clerical rule, and this Regime is stood on the same side as the Putin’s regime, also receiving weapons from Iran.
Everything is a circle, and this world is standing on the endless duality. Our government is also responsible (even they haven’t officially announced it and it’s clear that they don’t think so) for the current situation, which feels like a long-time boiling pot. All these war pigs should remember that no one gets out of this life alive, also them.
Words are not enough. Your images are.
Have been concerned. Glad to at least hear from you, Victor.
Thank you very much..Im ok, just this new for me neverending routine is Killin
Thank you Maikel !
It breaks my heart to see how politics kills and destroys civilian lives. Stay strong, Victor.
You’re so right. Finally what they do and i can add the religion to this, but its my personal point of view.
These photos are fantastic. The Empty Table photo is gut wrenching.
It’s also kind of interesting: the Life-Goes-On-ness of a couple of those pics.
Keep yourself safe, My Friend.

Thank you Matt. Yes sure, life is going on and when we are sure that we have already heard about something shocking like the events in Aleppo and Butcha, the next is just after the corner. As usual i stay positive as much as possible.
Thank you for your words written and your images to share the view. Daily life shared. Thank you Victor.
Around the world daily the news is seen, many lies and different views are shared. The hate some feel amongst each other just because of religion. We are just nowhere..
I understand your words in trying to live normally the daily life. Respect to that. Hopefully one day peace will overcome and come above the hatred that is spread worldwide.
Hey Aline. Thank you for the kind words. You explained a lot just with a few words. If all the countries will separate their religions from governance, the world will look absolutely different. Im not against religion (even i don’t believe) and if people need it, who am i to say not. But, when religion is connected to politics and manages countries, that creates pressure and anticipation to another religion. just my opinion.
Victor, I have had you in my prayers since these atrocities began. As I do the people of Palestine, Ukraine, Russia and other places where innocent people are suffering the consequences of evil leadership and ambition. The heart of God weeps over the evils committed in his name. Thank you for your images, it is so important for us to see how things are. Shalom
Huge thank you Steve for taking a look and for such warm words. Sure, all we are, when we support each other can save this world.
Ojala todo esto termine pronto, tantos muertos inocentes provocan un tremendo dolor. Cuídate Victor. Un abrazo.
Strong hug to you Carlos. Innocent people should stay aware of the politicians fights. But we are always in the middle as well with our taxes we are paying for their ammunition and weapon. Hola y estad atentos mi hermano!
These are extremely great shots of sadness & powerful messages as picture has thousands of words Victor. I feel it ..
Hey Naomi. thank you for taking a look. It was the day when we walked together with Lior. Indeed very sad.
Ohhhh. … Shalom ..🫶🇳🇮
And thank you for sharing these great REAL moments from there .
Hi Victor, glad you are safe and trying to carry on as best you can. Wonderful photographs that are more eloquent and trutuhful than news reports. It’s difficult to imagine a time when nations will just be friends.
Hi Helen. Thank you for the kind words. Yes, it is very difficult when these corrupt politicians and religious people are managing our countries. The real liberal and democratic countries are clear of these.
Not Helen, but no worries, a rose is as sweet by any name! Kind regards, Fraggle.
Ah sorry. I just saw the blog about the page and was mistaken by the name noted under the picture. So sorry 😉
No problem at all 🙂
Stay safe, thoughts are with you.
Thank you very much !
I’m so sorry, Victor. Your images help me see the horror and loss…
Thank you for taking a look..More os coming
“There are no words”, I feel like that, too. As a mum of small kids, it feels incredible that they’re involving children. I’m so tired of war, killing and hatred, and I’m not even there. Can only imagine what it must actually be like. You’re smart for focusing on staying sane.
Hey “snow”! happy to see you stopped by my blog post and you’re welcome to check my other posts and essays as well. Thank you for the support. The breaking news is changing fast as wind these days. And tomorrow people don’t even check what was breaking-something yesterday. People already dont remember how this war started, who started it and in which crazy way started it. I lost some friends that day, my friends lost their families – the whole families just on one morning. I dont want to write here or in my posts the shocking stories i heard and some (less bloody and crazy) i saw in videos from the place. I hope for the bestest for all people around – also for the Gaza citizens who are enslaved by Hamas and loving from a few dollars daily. I dont know why the entire world dont want to open their eyes and to look a.little bit deeper, instead of.just blindly shout out the Freepalestine slogan. Sorry for digging. And thank you again. Part of my family is living in Ukraine (where i was born as well) so now we are supporting each other but cant really help each other. This world became crazy. I just hope that not for a long period of time.
Yes, I have no idea which “side” to take in this very long conflict but some lines were crossed in this attack that are hard to understand from a humanitarian perspective. And honestly I just want all brutality in the world to end, period. Living next door to Russia, we aren’t completely safe either, but we’re pretending like everything is normal in our little corner of the world and luckily, we still have peace. 🤞 Again, as a mum of small kids, all this worries me from a very selfish viewpoint as well as a general one.
Btw, I started following you years ago, Victor, but I rarely click on your posts because my mobile phone acts weirdly when it redirects me and my phone is what I usually use to read blogs. Today, I’m on my computer, which was why I finally was able to read yours 😊 Your photography is amazing.
Thank you for the fast response.For me Its not about the “side” but about the end of the whole conflict involving innocent people for the interests of the rich people and politicians. I know that the regular people from both “sides” this war is unnecessary. But the authorities and religions connected together are creating this hatred.
Thank you for the kind words about my photography. Possibly that the reason for the wrong appearance on WordPress is the self-hosting WordPress site connected to the application, so you cant see the photographs in this app, and it redirects you to my site..Yes, the computer screen is the proper way to see photography, ideally the photography should be printed 😉
But at least to see on the big screen 😉 I also prefer to use my laptop for blog reading and looking at photography. Not always have time for this but I’m trying. I just almost completely stopped using applications like IG and FB on my smartphone for this.
You’re right, especially photo blogs should be viewed on a big screen!
And thanks for the chat, very interesting to hear your thoughts. And I agree, the whole idea of ”sides” is irrelevant and unconstructive. Wishing you well, and strength, too.
Subscribed to your blog. Will check on the big screen.🙏🏿👍🏿❤️
🧡
I have no words….sorry is not enough.
Absolutely not your fault. But i know some big amount of people who should say sorry and they never do. The government’s, the politicians, the religious leaders, the UN, the rich families, managing the world and some influencers like Elon Mask who got a bunch of money, the tons of followers and doing stupid actions and saying nonsense.
Your powerful images convey the despair and sadness more than words can, Victor. Keep on documenting while staying safe.
huge thank you Jane!
Hey Victor, wow you were there at this place with the laid table and the empty chairs, I saw that in the media, and you’re so right with what you’re writing.
It’s just crazy and sad what now happens, somehow it feels the world is just falling apart, with all the crises.
Hey Chris. Thank you for taking a look. I just finishing my next post now. Its unbelievable what happened to humanity. I was sure that the world is moving to very bright place.
