"Handala was born ten years old, and he will always be ten years old. At that age, I left my homeland. I presented him to the poor and named him Handala as a symbol of bitterness. At first, he was a Palistinian child, but his consciousness developed to have a national and then a global and human horizon" |
Naji Al-Ali (1936-1987)
Al-Ali was a Palestinian cartoonist, with no political links who criticised events of the Palestine-Israel conflict through his cartoons. All the cartoons contain a small boy, Handala, a symbolic character silently watching the scene. Naji Al-Ali was assasinated in 1987.
