By Fernando Marti, who writes:

Palestine: slingshot, olive, key. Symbols of self-determination over a 1918 map of Palestine, showing Palestinian and Jewish villages of the time. Keys, hopes and aspirations for a right of return to the homeland, a memory of what grandmothers held to after the Nakba, symbols of destroyed homes and villages. Olives, aspect of a land-based culture, of history and economic sustenance, feared and destroyed by the settlers. The slingshot, a symbol of resistance and struggle, and of youthful uprising against apparently invincible forces. I realize that all those symbols have a certain nostalgia to them. Like this website that sells old-school made-by-hand prints, today’s struggles may be communicated through text messages and media posts, but when the lights are turned out, we return to faded paper maps, rusted family keys, makeshift slingshots, and the ancient olive trees that still give life…

Ojalá in Spanish is derived from the Arabic insha’Allah, God willing, used commonly in my language as “hopefully,” “someday.”

“What You Need To Know”

is the title of a two page comic done by Seth Tobocman about climate change that I have always said was the most effective political comic flyer I’ve ever seen. I’ve always wanted to do a cover version for Israel/Palestine.

Thanks to Aurora Levins Morales, Carter Adams, and others for feedback and editorial input.

Edit:
Here is a downloadable print version of this comic as a two-sided flyer for printing
