The conflict between Israel and Palestine has recently been escalated, but many supporters of both sides can agree that any innocent civilian lives lost during the conflict are a tragedy. Several Palestinians have found their own way to grieve for the dead and to cope their strong emotions about the conflict by drawing images that they see in the smoke rising from the sites of Israeli rocket strikes.
The images that they see in these violent clouds of smoke are shaped by their experience in Palestine they are full of imagery usually associated with rebellion, resistance and grief. We can only hope that the current violent confrontation between Israel and Palestine comes to an end as soon as possible, for the good of innocent civilians on both sides.

(62,325 posts)past few days'. Most of the responses to him told him he would be 'forgiven' because of what he has had to see and try to deal with.
Saw today where in the Netherlands people are posting the names and ages of the children who have been killed in Gaza:
For so long the victims were not humanized and the dialogue controlled by the Far Right Israeli Govt shamefully backed by the Western powers.
It is vitally important to show the victims, who they are, and not allow them to be portrayed as 'collateral damage'.
