Gaza Child
The genocide of a population where half of its inhabitants are children has been the worst thing I have ever witnessed in my life. I never thought that my instagram feed would resemble a gore website filled with dead bodies. No innocent adult man or woman deserves to be treated this way but seeing the carnage inflicted on vulnerable children hurts and infuriates me the most.
Learning the individual stories like that of Dunya Abu Mohsin a twelve year old who lost her parents and siblings in an israeli air strike that also resulted in her leg being amputated was just horrible in itself. A few days ago she was killed in an israeli airstrike while getting treatment at the Nasser Medical complex in Gaza. Thats such a fucked up way to go out 😢 There are countless of other stories that are similar. I could never stay silent about my tax dollars funding these atrocities. Especially if I had a child of my own.
In this digital piece I depict a young Palestinian boy with a keffiyeh wrapped around his head. The background depicts an olive branch symbolizing Palestinian 🇵🇸 resistance against the israeli occupation given the olives tree’s ability to survive harsh conditions and still live for thousands of years.
