Throughout the film there's plenty of mistakes and wrong doings on all sides regarding the bombing. Ava fails to do her duty as a soldier by not checking a bag, even if it's her friends. Chloe get's involved in a terrorist network along with a family that has connection to one, even when she had multiple situations to only act as a doctor versus a friend. The closest thing to a fatal error that Rand made (pre-bombing) was being around a dangerous group of people, other than that she was in a rather unfortunate position out of her control mostly. The biggest culprit I believe is the environment and situation that these people are living and growing up in.

The film displays a rather drastic difference in the living conditions of Israel and Palestine. We quickly see how Israel has a series of night life, markets and restaurants which is almost a cross of Western culture and their own. People are displayed as much more happier, care free and seem to be going about the lives as an ordinary individual. The Palestinian lifestyle is full of what looks to be poverty and constant danger. There's even blatant signs of oppression against them too as seen by the stories from Eva. The constant danger is shown rather bluntly by the fact there's often bullet holes in the households for that matter too. Then there's the filth and garbage which is strewn across the whole area. Israel has it's fair share of problems in their cities but it is significantly nicer than the literal garbage heaps in Palestine.

The above ad holds the potency of metaphorically assaulting the viewer and their beliefs. It's a rather  rigid ad regarding social awareness of verbal abuse in relationships. The ad is displaying how such use of force in one's dialogue can essentially have a painful outcome for a victim. By using a symbolic use of a hand coming out of someone's mouth and hitting a woman is rather blatant evidence of the claim in regards to emotional, verbal violence. The ad acts generally as a campaign of awareness in regards to the damage one's words can do to someone.

The link to picture because there's some very obnoxious html and css script that won't allow me to rip the picture from the website.

Lense: Political, Communism

Within the photo by David Seymour we have a soldier that's looking away from the rest of his fellow soldiers while under a communist flag. Due to the general idea of  Communism regarding all men being created equal and being the same, here we have one soldier looking away from the rest of the group. With a political lense of pro capitalism or anti communism it can be seen as an unhappy soldier stuck within the gears of the red tide known as Communism. He's suspected to act and be like everyone yet he's looking away from the rest of the group as if apathetically asking for help or yearning to be his own man. The background of the photo has an officer that's staring at the camera man too as if disgruntled that he's taking a photo of his group or that one of his soldiers isn't following everyone else. The picture overall almost looks like a man wanting out of the Communist regime and to be himself with his own freedom.
