“Najawa: A Story of Palestine” is a 45-foot “street comic,” composed of eight large panels, which tells the story of a Palestinian woman’s life over the course of eight decades, beginning with the Nakba of 1948. It was created by Vermont artist Michelle Sayles, in collaboration with artist and educator Jen Berger, and Vermonters for a Just Peace in Palestine/Israel.
This comic synthesizes oral history, documentary, and media accounts of life in occupied Palestine. Its first showing was in September, 2015, at the South End Art Hop in Burlington, Vermont. This major arts festival that draws up to 30,000 people annually. It was later exhibited for several weeks at the Fletcher Free Public Library in Burlington, where it was warmly and enthusiastically received.
In addition to the video, you can view the individual panels of “Najawa” online at Red Wedge Magazine

Some people need visual aids to understand a situation. We need many of similar aids to get the truth out there in this nation, or else ignorance makes people like George Zimmerman’s brother make statements that reflect nothing but a closed ignorant mind , and parroting slogans by Israel.

I strongly feel more billboard with precise information will help spread the truth, since we cannot rely on the media to do their job.
“In 1947 the UN called for the division of Palestine into 2 states, one Jewish and one Arab. 750,000 Palestinians were forcefully displaced from their homes.”
Hasn’t some information been left out by the creators of the street comic? A few things that slipped their minds? Like the fact that the Jewish side accepted the partition plan and the Arab side rejected it and sought to prevent its implementation by force of arms?
