Heba Zagout was a talented woman.

A Palestinian woman born and raised in the Al Burejj refugee camp in Gaza.

She worked as an art teacher, and was previously employed by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees.

She was a mother to four. children, Adam, Faisal, Mahmoud and Baraa.

Heba loved art, had done from a young age.

She studied fine art at Al-Aqsa University, trained in graphic design.

And dedicated her life to documenting Palestinian heritage and history.

Things the occupation had always tried to erase.

"I consider art a message that I deliver to the outside world through my expression of the Palestinian cause and Palestinian identity.”

Art that she would sell to support her children as the sole breadwinner.

"Heba was a one in a million talent. She encapsulated everything it meant to be Palestinian and poured her heart and soul into her art"

- Chris Whitman-Abdelkarim, a representative of German human rights group Medico International, who came across her work two years ago.

Heba was killed on October 13th 2023 when an Israeli airstrike targeted her house.

She was killed along with two of her children, Adam and Mahmoud.

It is believed that her husband, and her two other children survived.

Though that update came on the 18th and we don't know if they remain alive.

Laura Albast, a Palestinian American journalist who knew Heba described her death as a "great loss."

"This is a woman who has brought so much joy to the homes of so many people who have bought her art, who have displayed her art.

They didn't just bomb her home, her children, but they erased the traces of her creativity."

Let us keep her art and memory alive.

Her Instagram is Zagoutheba where she posted her art work.

I know this is the Anti Small Talk Website but small talk is one of the most effective social glues out there for getting to know people and forming friendships with them.

When I was just starting out at a job right after college I had a coworker who I thought was the nicest person alive and after a few weeks I realized this was just because she consistently asked other people things like, "How ya doing? Whatcha having for lunch? Got any weekend plans? Seen any good movies lately?" instead of politely ignoring everyone around her.

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.
