Palestinian cartoonist Naji al-Ali and his character 'Handala' with Ian Black

Naji al-Ali was perhaps both the most loved, and most hated, Arab political cartoonist in recent history. Celebrated for his stinging critiques of Israeli and Arab regimes along with the United States, he created more than 40,000 drawings during his career. The Palestinian artist was assassinated three decades ago, but his legacy lives on.

In August 1987, Naji AL-ALI was assassinated in London. Leaving HANDALA orphan ...

My Arabic speaking brothers and sisters know that Alaqsa means the pinnacle or the top highth; Handala's name backwards is Al-Adnah, meaning the lowest. 1. it's an interesting way to say that Alaqsa is viewed as unimportant. 2. this "life" or "world/existence" in Arabic is also Al Adnah, as in the lower life when compared with the hereafter. what a beautiful message. I wonder how many have picked up on it.

As attending many recent demonstratiions post 7 October '23, this was a hugely interesting explanation of 'Handala' RIP Ian Black

Handala nació diez años y siempre tendrá diez años. A esa edad, dejé mi tierra natal, y cuando él regrese, Handala todavía tendrá diez años y luego comenzará a crecer. Las leyes de la naturaleza no se aplican a él. El es único. Las cosas volverán a ser normales cuando regrese la patria.
Al Ali pero aún tendrá 10 años in Jannah Fairduz In sha Allahﷻ

A cartoon expresses so much sorrow and so much of hopes lost and handala shows how the world has fallen so low without helping him! No wonder it represents rejection of the whole world because of their blasphemy

This man's empathy was for all victims - especially women and children.
