Description
Brush & Airbrush:Acrylic on Canvas:
20x30 inches:
Some people might recognise the image i used as reference. It's of a Palestinian kid, one of hundreds murdered by israel in it's brutal offensive in Gaza last December. I just want to add an extract from a Human Rights Watch report that was released earlier this month.
"I want to understand whether I did something wrong to Israel to be
punished like this."
~Khalid βAbd Rabbo, whose daughters, aged two and seven, were shot and
killed while they waved white flags on January 7.

Go spread your rabid rantings some place else... fucking degenerate zionist.

omg seriously just shut up!
yeah maybe he didn't speak up his mind the way you like it, but he was just as mad as i am!
and he is right! they ARE sending their children to the battlefield to get those fake shocking pictures like your painting, while we try to protect our children in shelters!
just yesterday i was watching a security camera video of a "pregnant" women that the IDF wouldn't let past the barrier to get to the hospital. sounds mean, doesn't it? well guess what, she's wasn't carrying a baby, but a fatigue belt. they sent a fake pregnant women to explode in a HOSPITAL! does this make any sense at all?? is that your definition of humane?!
i want peace just as much as everyone else, and i want Gilad Shalit to be back with his family even if it will cost us a lot, but there is a limit. they wanted a little and we were willing to give it to them. to give up on some of OUR homeland for so-called peace. the minute we gave them a finger all of the sudden they demand the whole hand, and then a few prisoners (who needless to say got what they deserve), then "just a few more" (yeah try 300) for peace, for this one poor solider who got kidnapped and tortured for protecting us, protection MY life and family.
i'm joining the army in about a month. first i was scared that my life may end sooner then they should, but now after seeing your artwork, living here my whole life and knowing that it's all a big lie, I COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD TO PROTECT MY COUNTRY.

Thanks a lot! i appreciate your comment

hm, this is a superb peice of work, i wish i had the knowlegde to comment further on the meaning, from my perspective its like a never ending cycle of retaliation, it just makes me dislike the human race as a whole when i see things like this and realize what the future has lost and the ideology that is birthed because of these poor dead children.
very moving and thought provoking, weather or not its sorrow or anger, your art is doing its job if we get an emotional response from the content

Thank you!
I was aiming for the idea of how the israelis are persecuting the Palestinians, how we are all complicit in that act by remaining silent. And in a way, the Palestinians are suffering for our complacency.
Sorrow,anger... anything besides indifference is a positive step.

i realy like your art, but i'm so scared of knowing that there are people like youy that will love to bomb my head for living in Israel..
that is seriosly too bad.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm glad you like my art but why would you think that i would love to "bomb" your head??? that's bizarre!
π: 0 β©: 1
no that's not! ><
all your gallery is about "poor palestine, bad Israel" kind of stuff. 
that is just sad, isn't it?
π: 0 β©: 1
Did you ever think why israel is the most hated country in the world? and trust me, it's not because of anti-Semitism.
Did you even read the what i wrote in the comments section? This is just one of the many hundreds of reasons.
π: 0 β©: 1
and did you and anybody else just TRYED to hear what we've got to say?
i'm pretty sure that there are things that i don't know about what we did, but believe me, there are MANY things that you don't know either. but if i'll tell you - you won't believe it, like anybody else who listened.
did you ever think about the poor soliders who are were trapped by the paletine for WAY too long, and when i'm saying "WAY too long" i mean about 3-4 years, or even more. without us, their family to knoe how are they doing there. that when we ask them to give ONE of them back, in exchange for THOUDSENDS of terrorist, or weapon, they give us the one that is already dead, and probably for a long time?
but, you know, let's ignore what you, or the world think about Israel. it's not your job to draw things in the defense of palestines - it was your choice to do that, it waas your will. wasn't it?
now THAT is scary!
obviosly, no one of us is going to convince the other, but i just want you to know, how much does it hurts knowing that there are people who hate me just because where i live. it is NOT fair at all.
i mean, do you realy think, that when i'll grow up, i'll become a terrorist or a killer?

I find it a bit disturbing that you are trying to twist this by suggesting that israelis are somehow the victims. Maybe it's true what people say, israelis have absolutely no compassion for the suffering of the Palestinians.
π: 0 β©: 1
no, i am distubed by the fact that the Palestines get much more hurt than what we are, but there's a part where it's their foult.
i'm just saying that i think it is wrong how you are presenting Israel as "pure" evil.

tsukey, you´ve got it all wrong, he does not hate you, he hates what your government has done to Palestine. Let´s face it, if the roles were reversed the same thing would be happening and Stix would be drawing for the Jewish people cast from their homeland by the muslims. Nobody hates you because you live in Israel, if anything we would hate you if you condoned what your government is doing to Palestine. I´m not saying Palestine has never done any wrong, what I´m saying is i´m tired of all the conflicts all over the world, it really pisses me off how so much potential is wasted on destruction, and what REALLY pisses me off is how the same people who are against, say, abortion because ¨the baby could have cured cancer¨ are the same who justify killing children in stupid, pointless wars. But I digress, Palestine and Israel need to get over it, end of story.

that would be nice if it realy would be that way with everybody.
"if anything we would hate you if you condoned what your government is doing to Palestine."? you are seriosly talking like Israel is "the bad guys", something that a person lives in Israel - doesn't want to hear.
it was, is and will be a war, and i don't think that anybody can tell for sure "you're the bad guys! you're the good guys!" (unless it is the holocoust, which hopefully won't happen again.
what annoyes me the most, is that you heared one side talking and decided that is Israel is mean, without hearing, or trying to figure out why do we do that.
i recently heared that Sweden MADE UP stories that Israel is trading with parts of Palestine's bodies that we've killed, which is by the way SUCH A BIG LIE! >< how can i NOT fell a threat by that!
that is just such a dirty move to do! so wrong!
how would you feel if the same thing would happen to you? so right... no body hates me, only Israel's government... so are you telling me, that someone with opinions like that wouldn't be happy to kill someone that MIGHT one day help the government?
well, the thing is, that i'm so sad to know an artist as wonderful as with those opinions.

first of all, there are no bad guys or good guys, just victims, victims to the endless cycle of war that has been going on all over the world ever since one would care to remember. I do not know what you think the solution is, I hope it´s not as some of your clergy believes to get all of the arabs back to their ¨homelands¨ because that is the same thing the Nazi party believed about the jews, at first, then we all know what happened. If you think that the palestinians are the ¨bad guys¨ here you are deluding yourself, as I said, there are no bad guys and no good guys in war, just victims.
π: 0 β©: 1
well great! finelly we agree on something!
it is just that no body wantrs this war, and no body is happy of it, and of course that not those who participate in it. so i just can't understand why does the world hates Israel THAT much.
