Living in Tel Aviv, Israel, Mr. Sinai often photographs global scenes of violence for The New York Times online. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/09/world/middleeast/israel-jerusalem-light-rail.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fworld&action=click&contentCollection=world&region=rank&module=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=2&pgtype=sectionfront

I think Sinai's goal with his photography is to reach an international audience and spread general awareness of the effects that the Israeli-Palestine conflict is having on Israel. Since he spent most of his life living in the area where the most violence occurs, his purpose may be just to contribute to the knowledge of what is really happening in Jerusalem. It seems as though he is not big on advertising and promoting his work, but he does work with renound global journalists and magazines to publish his photos. Still, he remains as a more behind-the-scenes type of man, and with these specific three photos he may be trying to take his audience into the scenes of destuction which surround him daily.

Going on for the past 108 years, the conflict between Israel and Palestine is still unfolding in acts of extreme violence from both sides. Mr. Sinai has photographed moments of tension in the lives of Jews and Arabs living in Jerusalem, where most of the battles play out. Jerusalem is the home of religious and cultural monuments for Jews, Christians, and Muslims, so naturally, tensions are highest in this area. Sinai has worked in this area, in the midst of the chaos, since 1993 and is very passionate about resolving the conflict.
