PEACE 4 P@LESTINE INITIATIVE

The Peace 4 P@lestine initiative started in response to the 11-day military offensive launched by Isr@el in May 2021 on the occupied G@za Strip. The assault killed at least 260 people, including 39 women and 67 children, and wounded more than 1,900. The bombardment also destroyed 1,800 residential units and partially demolished at least 14,300 other units. It was the fourth major offensive launched by Isr@el on the P@lestinian territory in 14 years, compounding the already dire living conditions and the high rates of poverty and unemployment in G@za which had been under an Isr@eli-Egyptian blockade since 2007.

As of this date (2/20/24), according to UN OCHA: more than 29,000 P@lestinians have been killed, and more than 69,000 injured by Isr@eli forces…these numbers do not include the thousands still missing under rubble. More than 70,000 housing units have been destroyed, no fully-functioning hospitals remain in Gaza, there are more than 200,000 cases of acute respiratory infections, 500,000 cases of communicable disease (including meningitis and acute diarrhea. On 2/16/24 the UN Population fund stated “if the bombs don’t kill pregnant women, if disease, hunger and dehydration don’t catch up with them, simply giving birth could.” And while this is occurring, at least 393 P@lestinians (100 of which are children) have been killed in the Occupied West B@nk by Isr@eli forces and settlers since October.

As a first-generation P@lestinian-American and artist whose father suffered from debilitating PTSD since enduring the Lydda Massacre and Death March of 1948—I wanted to bring caring minds together from my creative community to help draw attention to the current and decades-long human rights disater—by creating wearable billboards and raising funds for organizations putting in the work to help feed, heal and organize.
