2024 Snoopy & Handala & the Statue of Liberty

 

West Bank Wall graffiti art in Bethlehem: Handala and Liberty as "Pietà"

Symbolism

Handala's age – ten years old – represents Naji al-Ali's age in 1948 when he was forced to leave Palestine and would not grow up until he could return to his homeland:[6] Al-Ali wrote that:

Handala was born 10 years old and he will always be 10 years old. It was at that age that I left my homeland. When Handala returns, he will still be 10 years old, and then he will start growing up.

His posture, with his turned back and clasped hands, symbolises the character's "rejection at a time when solutions are presented to us the American way" and as "a symbol of rejection of all the present negative tides in our region."[4] His ragged clothes and standing barefoot symbolise his allegiance to the poor.[4] Al-Ali described Handala as "the symbol of a just cause":

He was the arrow of the compass, pointing steadily towards Palestine. Not just Palestine in geographical terms, but Palestine in its humanitarian sense—the symbol of a just cause   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handala

Years from now students will study the Palestinian GENOCIDE and wonder HOW DID NO ONE STOP THIS??

 


 

Eleanor Roosevelt and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948)—Article 19 states that "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."
 

"Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children."  

Read Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speech in its entirety https://www.npr.org/2010/01/18/122701268/i-have-a-dream-speech-in-its-entirety


 

George Orwell statue at the headquarters of the BBC. A defence of free speech in an open society, the wall behind the statue is inscribed with the words "If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear", words from George Orwell's proposed preface to Animal Farm (1945)

All I want for Christmas is a free Palestine- Josh Mayfield an artist for Palestine

 

"" If Christ were to be born today, he would be born under the rubble and Israeli shelling," Reverend Munther Isaac, Lutheran Church in Bethlehem

Churches in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Christ, canceled Christmas because Israel is slaughtering Palestinians. 

Let that sink in. 

How can we have a holiday celebrating the birth of the "prince of peace" when there is no peace in his historic homeland? 

How can we celebrate the coming of the "bread of life" when 9 out of 10 Gazans are going without food every single day?

Want to keep Christ in Christmas? End the slaughter of Palestinian men, women, and children. Allow aid trucks to enter and administer much needed care. Allow Palestinians to live with dignity in their historic homelands, not subjected to apartheid and colonialism."

Israel (& America & the UK & Europe)'s cruel War on Gaza & the Children of Palestine 2023

This was Gaza city. It's rubble now, almost all of it. Destroyed with your tax dollars and Joe Biden's unwavering support.

America's Mainstream Media & Fake News (thank you Jonathan Cook for your honor & honesty) ... illustrated by some randomly plucked up truth telling cartons, memes, and a map

America's Mainstream Media (truth telling cartoon meme found today on X)

Just remember when the 'respectable' media warn us about fake news that the biggest fake news we're being exposed to – every day, for weeks on end – is peddled by the 'respectable' media: that Israel is 'eradicating' Hamas, rather than the truth that it is carrying out ethnic cleansing and a genocide of the Palestinian people. 

This week the UN warned that Palestinians will be killed in even bigger numbers than from the bombing by disease brought about by Israel's denial of food and water, and its destruction of health and public sanitation infrastructure. 

 This isn't some tragic side effect of Israel's policies. Israeli planners knew this would happen from the start.
