Palestinian artist Fathi Ghaben (B. 1947-2024) died in Gaza due to Israel's siege, on the morning of February 25, 2024.

Nour Naim: "Famous #Gaza artist Fathi Ghaben passed away this morning while awaiting Israeli permission to travel abroad for medical treatment, despite numerous appeals."

Abdalhadi Alijla: "Fathi Ghaben, a renowned Palestinian artist, passed away due to the scarcity of hospitals in Gaza. I wrote about him in October, highlighting how his work influenced many across the region. Recall that between 2006 and 2014, thousands of Palestinians in Gaza died due to the siege and lack of medical permits. Given the current unlivable situation in Gaza, tens of thousands could die. According to public health experts in the UK, this could lead to the death of 250,000 people. If this does not constitute genocide, then what does?"

Rawan Eid (Founder of Decolonize Palestine): "The artist Fathi Ghabin was a year old when his family was ethnically cleansed from the village of Hirbiya in 1948. He lost his son and grandson in this genocide and was denied medical treatment amid the collapse of the healthcare system. This morning a heart attack took his life. So many years of compounded suffering and injustice."

[ID: 4 photos by Hamza Wael Al-Dahdouh.

1: A missile falling directly towards the roof of a residential building. In the foreground is another roof with a water tank, satellite receiver, and clothes hanging on a clothesline.

2: The same building with fire exploding out of its windows. The outside of the building still appears intact but the bomb is blowing it out from the inside.

3: The building is barely visible behind large clouds of smoke and fire.

4: A huge cloud of smoke with rubble flying through the air.

The clothesline, satellite receiver, and water tank are in the foreground of all the photos and appear undamaged.

5: The instagram caption, @.hamza_w_dahdooh: Moments before souls and dreams die …

لحظات قبل ان تموت ارواح واحلام …

Hamza was assassinated today (7 Jan 24) along with his colleague Mustafa Thuraya. I’ve used his incredible photos above several times to illustrate what an IOF missile strike looks like, and I’m forever thankful to Hamza for this education resource. Palestinian journalists keep working tirelessly to document their own genocide because they know that their words and images are powerful tools to fight the occupation. The occupation assassinates journalists because they also understand the power of journalism. We all have a responsibility to keep sharing Palestinian journalism until it’s no longer dangerous to be a Palestinian journalist — ie until the genocidal occupying entity is destroyed. The more they try to silence us the louder we will be. In honor of Hamza I want to invite you all to share and talk about these photos (or something else from his ig) with someone in your personal life this week, and make sure they understand that this young man was deliberately assassinated by his oppressors because their genocidal occupation is threatened by his talent and commitment.

Judith Akira Poster

A fun mash up of Judith and Holofernes and the famous poster from Akira, by Katsuhiro Otomo. A lot of artists I know throw down their homage to this seminal work and I wanted to contend. I got to explore something different in terms of composition and content, and it was fun maintaining the original vision of that incredible poster.
