Palestinian Talents

 

I would like to introduce you to one of our Palestinian talents in the diaspora, which I consider to be marginalized like many other talents, especially in the Arab nations. One thing I ask of you, after reading this article, is to share it so that we get it publicist as much as possible please, because the Palestinian artist does not have to be present only among certain people, but his art and his presence should be recognized by all social classes in our Arab and international world.

 The shining star that I will talk about today is the very talented Ali Abdel Aal, and his unique drawing, especially his painting “Frustration,” which speaks of and represents the situation for women in general and the Palestinian in particular. This piece of work is in the French National Museum, Palestine section. Honestly, it is breath-taking and catches the eye and makes you look at it constantly, because it tells a new story every time. Sometimes a story full of mystery, sadness, and loss, and at other times it is full of hope, clarity, and the determination of strong Palestinian women.

Frustration

The artist Ali is originally from the village of Al-Ghabsiya, Acre district in the occupied Palestine, and is currently and temporarily in the diaspora as a resident of Nahr Al-Bared camp in the city of Tripoli in northern Lebanon. He holds a drawing diploma from the Lebanese University and an honorary doctorate from the German International Cultural Centre, and he has received many certificates of appreciation and honour inside and outside Lebanon.

 He has paintings that simulate the situation of the Palestinian people in asylum, and abstract paintings about our culture in understanding life. He has participated in several exhibitions inside and outside Lebanon. In total he has a back catalogue of over 700 works

. 

Dr. Ali provides free of charge courses, including artistic and cultural activities inside the camps held within civil society institutions, in order to spread the culture of painting among the Palestinians in the diaspora, and you feel as if he is urging his students to share their displacement and its difficulties through an artistic painting that culturally translates the diaspora, the right of return and wounded Palestine.

 You can find a link to his personal account on Facebook, and through it you can see his collection of drawings and contact him if you are interested in supporting one of his partnerships or inviting him to some exhibitions. He is a very special individual that you would love to meet.

  This young boy bids farewell to his brother; as a matter of fact, he is saying see you soon after the whole world has failed to protect and save them from the prison of Gaza, where they were born and murdered. This is one of the many prisons made by the zionists inside occupied Palestine; it is considered the worst. It is horrible that all they could see behind the prison's wall was the zionist army, which kept causing destruction, murder, maiming and devastation inside Gaza and the lives of the Palestinians for 75 years.

Drowning in a Sea of Rubbish

 The refuse problem has always been an issue on the Palestinian Refugee camps, but recently it's been getting worse and worse. If you step outside the camps and into Lebanon itself you will see that there is a general issue with rubbish, there are very few collections and it really does pile up everywhere, but on the camps, there is no where else for it to go so it is piling up and is starting to cause massive health risks.  The smell is unbearable, the piles are drawing pests and swarms of insects and flies and it won't be long until there is a serious health problem on the camps. UNRWA does what it can but they seem oblivious to what is going on regarding this serious issue.  An incinerator on the camps would be ideal, not only would it deal with the waste issue but it would generate much needed electricity to meet the shortfall on the camps and make them more self sufficient.  This video gives you more of an impression as to what the actuality is on the camps.

The Palestinian Musakhan.

Image
  The Palestinian Musakhan is a popular Palestinian dish, as well as sometimes being considered the traditional dish and a symbol of the Palestinian heritage. It is often called the national dish of Palestine. Although today, it is often difficult for the Palestinians in the diaspora to prepare it, and perhaps for those in occupied Palestine too. This is due to the excessive cost of living for the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, a country that is going through financial hardship beyond imagination, and has a pathetic economy. Lebanon is a beautiful country that has a rich history of culture and urbanization, but it lacks any pity towards the Palestinian refugees who were hosted there after the Nakbah in 1948. Lebanon has stripped them of their civil, political, and economic rights. A significant percentage of Palestinians who live there, against their will, still live in camps surrounded by Lebanese army checkpoints, some of these camps are fenced with high walls, which magica...
