West Bank Wall graffiti art in Bethlehem: Handala and Liberty as "Pietà".
An iconic symbol of Palestinian identity and defiance. The character has been described as "portraying war, resistance, and the Palestinian identity with astounding clarity".
“We are running out of words to describe what is happening in Gaza. We have described it as a catastrophe, a nightmare, as hell on earth. It is all of these, and worse.”
Iranian Cyber Group Claims Breach of Israeli Radar Systems (SOFX, 2024-04-15)
———
“An Iranian cyber group known as #Handala has claimed responsibility for breaching Israel’s radar defenses and sending threatening text messages to 500,000 Israeli citizens. The messages, according to the group, warned of imminent attacks and urged the public to oppose the Israeli government and support Iran.”
“In Israel, concerns are mounting over the potential for more severe cyberattacks against critical infrastructure…”
Leider mittlerweile keine Neuigkeit - ein Fakt: Greta Thunberg unterstützt aktiv die Freunde der Hamas-Terroristen - Antisemiten. #Leipzig#Handala#le2401#Israel
Greta #Thunberg hat vor nicht allzu langer Zeit Millionen für den #Klimaschutz begeistert. Nun sprach sie vor ca. 200 Leuten der "Hamas-Terror-ist Freiheitskampf"-Soli-Truppe #Handala in #Leipzig.
Engagement für Menschen im #Gaza-Streifen in aller Ehren, aber sie sprach vor einer #antisemitischen Gruppe, die nach dem #Hamas-Massaker ein Bild eines Gleitschirmfliegers mit dem Text "Befreiung ist möglich" postete.
Sie schadet massiv #FFF und den #Klimaprotesten!
So, the other day at the march for Palestine, I saw a little figurine which looks kind of like our Swedish children's book character Alfons Åberg (Alfie Atkins), only it's drawn from behind...
So, my idea is to make a figure that will get the Swedish population realise that Israel is murdering children, and that they're doing it with impunity.
So, maybe connecting the Handala character with Alfons/Alfie might get them thinking. Or at least that's what I figured.
Hence, I've made a version I can use as a placard in marches for Palestine.
The Idea is to have one on the front of the placard, one on the back.
Feel free to use, I have high-res originals if you wish.
