Amazing Painting "Le Pardon" (2017) by Palestinian artist Shadi Alzaqzouq, is a compelling large scale painting that vividly depicts a theatrical scene. The diagonal positioning of a wounded man in the foreground disrupts the symmetrical composition of the painting. The viewer's attention is captivated by a bullet hole in the young man’s abdomen. The wounded man’s hand falls to the ground, pointing at a spray can. In the forefront, a woman in traditional Palestinian thobe and a Keffiyeh cradles the man’s body, reminiscent of Michelangelo’s iconic La Pieta, 1498-1499.
Le Pardon is a direct commentary on the horrific situation of Palestinians under an apartheid regime. The artist also addresses the oppression of Palestinian artists and the centrality of nonviolent resistance. Comparable to Jesus Christ (as), the Palestinian martyr lays in the woman’s hands, creating a visual resemblance to Mary (a) and her son in the Madonna della Pieta. The visual comparison speaks to the cyclical nature of history and the recurrence of tragedy on the same land.
Behind this duo, a golden frame unveils a black-and-white photograph depicting the Buchenwald concentration camp during the Holocaust. This unsettling image is held by two Western cheerleaders dressed in the patriotic American flag colors of blue, red, and white. The dual perspective introduces irony and contradiction into the debate by shedding light on the selective practice of Western values and the West’s attempt to wash away its colonial sins with the Zionist state.
The backdrop of the entire tableau juxtaposes the serene beauty of the sunset, with the apartheid wall serving as a literal and visual representation of the term “open-air prison”.

🔴 The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club announced that Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir renewed an order barring families from visiting Palestinian prisoners, warning that their complete isolation enables torture, starvation and “slow killing” away from outside scrutiny.
The renewal came shortly after Israel’s Supreme Court ruled the continued ban on International Committee of the Red Cross visits unlawful. The group said authorities have nevertheless continued blocking both Red Cross and family visits, allowing prison abuses to continue without oversight or accountability.
🎥 Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir released a new video filmed inside an Israeli prison cell, taunting Palestinians.

German authorities removed a one-month-old Palestinian infant from her Syrian mother after acting on a Dutch decision that allegedly classified the child's Palestinian father as "a danger to his family," according to Al Jazeera Net.
■ The case follows the circulation of footage filmed in the Netherlands on May 19, showing Dutch police throwing Malak Mahmoud, who was nine months pregnant, to the ground and dragging her during the arrest of her husband, Wesam Miqdad.
■ In an effort to remove the legal basis cited by authorities, Miqdad told Al Jazeera he relocated to Belgium to file a new asylum claim. "I went to Germany to live a normal life with my wife and daughter... All I want is for my daughter Reem to be returned to her mother," he said.

At least 300 Palestinian children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza during the 300 days since the ceasefire was announced in October 2025, according to UNICEF. The figure means that, on average, one Palestinian child has been killed every day during a period that was supposed to bring an end to the violence. UNICEF said children continue to face deadly risks from Israeli attacks, gunfire and explosive remnants of war across the Gaza Strip.
More than 1,250 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect on 10 October 2025, according to Palestinian health authorities and recent reporting. Israeli forces have continued airstrikes, shelling and gunfire across the Strip despite the truce, with hundreds more Palestinians injured. The deaths add to the overall toll of Israel’s war on Gaza, which has surpassed 73,000 Palestinians killed since October 2023.

A French journalist describes what he saw over Gaza a year ago :
“Last year, I flew over Gaza and saw miles of destruction and devastation. Those images are still in my memory

Israeli settlers and heavily armed soldiers attack an unarmed Palestinian young man, beating him with complete brutality and without mercy
But the question that imposes itself is: What if this young man had been armed? What if he had tried to defend himself with a weapon?
Then the narrative would change, and the aggressor would be portrayed as the “victim,” while the Palestinian would be criminalized even while unarmed
The problem is not only with the weapon, but with a system that sees Palestinians as fair game even when they pose no threat

I swear to you, the impact of the war we have lived through and continue to live through every single day is far greater than you can imagine. It has not only affected our mental health and our lives, but it has also destroyed the way we look.
There is a picture of us before the war and a picture of us after the war. Although perhaps I should not even say “after the war,” because the war has not ended, and because this Israeli government does not seem to want to end it until all of us in Gaza are dead.
For the first time in human history, I feel like I am witnessing a war whose goal is not control, politics, or a military objective. Its goal is simply death .. death itself.
This Israeli government feeds on our blood. It seems that the more Palestinians someone kills, the higher their position becomes within the Israeli government.
