Common Palestinian symbols

![[ID: If the olive trees knew the hands that planted them, their oil would become tears"
The olive tree has deep historical and cultural roots in Palestine, and its branches have been associated with peace and prosperity for centuries.
The hardy trees can handle drought, subzero temperatures, frost and even fire. They are symbolic of Palestinian resilience against Israeli occupation and their connection to the land.
Olive cultivation plays a crucial role in the Palestinian economy through olive oil, table olives and soap production.
About 80,000 to 100,000 Palestinian families rely on the olive harvest for their income, which takes place every year between October and November. Traditionally, the harvest season is a time of festivities and joy, but tight Israeli restrictions and settler attacks overshadow it.

![[ID: In 1948, Zionist military forces expelled at least 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and lands in what became known as the Nakba (“catastrophe” in Arabic). Those people took their keys with them, sure they would return.
Many Palestinians still hold onto the keys to their original homes as a symbol of their hope and determination to return one day. These keys have been passed down several generations and are kept as a symbol of Palestinians’ right to return – a principle enshrined in international law that grants individuals the right go back to their homes of origin.
During Israel’s latest offensive in Gaza, at least 1.5 million Palestinians have been driven out of their homes, double the number of those displaced during Nakba in 1948. For Palestinians, Nakba is not a discrete historical event. It is an ongoing process of displacement that has never stopped.

![[ID: Handala is a cartoon character created by Palestinian cartoonist Naji al-Ali that reflects his own childhood refugee experience and the ongoing plight of Palestinians displaced by the Nakba.
The first version of the cartoon appeared in a Kuwaiti newspaper in 1969 and was drawn facing the viewer. However, in 1973 following the October War, al-Ali started drawing Handala with his back turned to reflect how the world had itself turned its back on the Palestinians.
Handala is barefoot and wears ragged clothes like the refugee camp children al-Ali remembers when he was forced to leave his village as a 10-year-old boy.
Handala is named after the “handhal”, a bitter fruit that grows in the dry areas of Palestine. It grows back when cut and has deep roots.
In 1987, Naji al-Ali was assassinated in London. No one has been charged with his murder. END ID]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1bd0a008be03cff84baa078bbf303806/68d6ff8b90c60403-0b/s640x960/a23206804bf5eabf3db32ad401db82528206c94e.jpg)

Snufkin @studyingmoominvalley you're so cool
"Out of the depths of Hell and back,

Cover our souls with robes of black,
Entangle the arms of night"
Awesome collab with @kittens4jc for Halloween!
I cried today.
I cried because I was eating pizza and scrolling through Tumblr when I came across two posts.
One, of that map thing queried, showing the stories of queer Palestinians.
The other, videos of Palestinians singing a song about how they will stay where they are. A song of freedom.
Because I could sit in my bed, eat warm oven bake pizza, and scroll past posts of Gazans and Palestinians in pain, but they can't scroll past their pain.
They cannot scroll past the memory of their parents being killed
Past the memory of the girl hanging of the side of a building with her legs in ribbons
Past the memory of having to call their friends phone to find their body under the rubble.
Free Gaza.
Free Gaza so that they may sing of their freedom, not of their fear.
From the river to the sea, and free Palestine until it's backwards.
Bluey scenes like these are always the best
Do you believe in fairytales?
