23 anniversary of the martyrdom of Naji Al-Ali: the conscience of the Palestinian cause Naji Salim al-Ali (Arabic: ناجي سليم العلي, born c. 1938 – 29 August 1987) was a Palestinian cartoonist, noted for the political criticism of Israel in his works. He drew over 40,000 cartoons, which often reflected Palestinian and Arab public opinion and were sharply critical commentaries on Palestinian and Arab politics and political leaders.[1] He is perhaps best known as creator of the character Handala, pictured in his cartoons as a young witness of the satirized policy or event depicted,[1] and who has since become an icon of Palestinian defiance. Naji al-Ali was shot in the face and mortally wounded in London by unknown persons on 22 July 1987, outside the offices of al-Qabas, a Kuwaiti newspaper for which he drew political caricatures.[2][1] He died five weeks later in Charing Cross Hospital From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
