Naji al-Ali: The Artist Who Resisted with His Pen and Was Assassinated for His Stance

Naji al-Ali, the renowned Palestinian cartoonist, was one of the most prominent symbols of resistance art, using his drawings as a weapon to express the suffering of his people and to oppose occupation and corruption. Through his iconic character “Handala,” Naji embodied the voice of the oppressed and the pain of Palestinians, making him a memorable figure in Arab and global consciousness.

Born in 1938 in the village of al-Shajara, Palestine, Naji experienced the Nakba in 1948, when he was uprooted from his homeland—a trauma that profoundly influenced his work. Handala, introduced in 1969, depicted a 10-year-old boy with his back turned to the world and hands clasped, symbolizing silent resistance until justice was achieved and Palestine liberated. Naji himself stated that Handala would remain a child until Palestinians returned to their homeland.

On July 22, 1987, Naji al-Ali was assassinated in London outside the offices of Al-Qabas International newspaper. He was shot in the head, falling into a coma that lasted until his death on August 29 of the same year. Investigations suggested that his assassination was linked to his bold political positions, which not only criticized the Israeli occupation but also targeted Arab regimes he believed to be complicit or negligent in supporting the Palestinian cause.

Although the identity of the assassin remains unknown, suspicions have been directed at multiple entities, including the Israeli Mossad and certain Arab intelligence services. Despite his untimely death, Naji’s art remains an enduring legacy, a powerful cry against injustice and oppression.

Naji al-Ali’s voice lives on, for Handala still stands tall, watching the world with unyielding determination, bearing witness to the resilience of a people who refuse to forget.

lol just wasted my time on this Utena lego model

I hope to make full minifigs of at least the characters in this model (Utena, Himemiya, and Touga) but also Akio

I also plan on making Akio’s car, this arch does function like in the anime to widen, so it could work as 2 sets that work together

It's been a while since I bitched about baby name websites but. just saw a real doozy. Post titled "Russian names on my list" and of course I clicked on it because as a former Russian language and history student I like Russian names and I think in general Slavic names are super under-discussed and underappreciated on English-speaking name forums.

anyway. She's got a long list of names in Cyrillic script and then in roman alphabet transliteration. Legit Russian names like Svetlana, Lyudmila, Inessa, etc. a couple names that are legit russian in origin but extremely unusual like Revmira which is an invented soviet patriotic name that means "world revolution". (Does she know this? The only person I've ever heard of with this name is my Russian professor's mother who was born in the 1920s and I feel like most Russian speakers would find it an extremely weird choice for a modern baby.) But more than half the script are like...names that I don't think have a Russian origin and are extremely uncommon to virtually unheard of in Russia as far as I can tell.

Брисеида (Briseida)

Андромеда (Andromeda)

Пасифая (Pasifaya)

Гермиона (Hermiona)

Элиана (Eliana)

Эдна (Edna)

Софиана (Sofiana)

the first section are all Greek mythology names transliterated into Russian that don't actually seem to have a history of use as first names in Russia and then the second half is just ???? No one in Russia is named Sofiana.
