@emilymfg@JohnJBaucher@salohal@_sorcha@history_monster@CA_Meehan I own around 1000 autochromes so have a bit of experience in this area. Can't be stressed enough that a reproduction of an autochrome- whether digitally created or an older analog copy-is still only that- a facsimile. All too often there is almost no relationship between 1/@emilymfg@JohnJBaucher@salohal@_sorcha@history_monster@CA_Meehan ...the original plate and it's many copies. Problem is further exacerbated by those who want to "restore" the color when, in fact, all they are doing amounts to a form of colorization of a digital copy that's floating out on the Internet. 2/

"We have been and remain stalwart supporters of Israel..."
Anyone who knows anything about the history of the @nytimes and its ownership by the Ochs/Sulzberger family, knows this is a flat-out lie: nytimes.com/2019/04/30/opi…
Some examples: The @nytimes actively encouraged the British to not open the gates of Mandated Palestine which would have allowed Jews fleeing Nazi persecution a safe haven since it might have furthered the goal of establishing an independent Jewish State there.
1: Why headline the story. "Israel Lobby Convenes in Washington Amid Fraying Bipartisanship and Rising Tension
It is not the Israel Lobby. It's a pro-Israel lobby. There's a difference.
2. You wrote, "Aipac, which aligns itself closely with Mr. Netanyahu’s far-right policies."
Please supply evidence. @AIPAC hardly supported Trump's move to give Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
