Naji al-Ali's Hanthala is a beloved icon for Palestinians across the world. Ali's cartoons are a symbol of the occupation and resistance. Many of them are graphic, but all of them are truly moving and portray the feelings of Palestinians everywhere. Sacco's commentary on the cartoons is helpful for those who aren't as familiar with Palestinian history and for those who can't read Arabic. The cartoon's of Naji al-Ali are a must-have addition to any collection on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

It is a simple review of history using cartoons. It is viewing events in the world and in the Middle East from the eyes of the victims...

Strongly recommended to own and to reflect on each of the cartoons

This is by far the most profound book on Palestine that I have read - which is a sad commentary in the western world. The simplicity of his drawing are heavy, true, and profound. Love this artist - highly highly recommend it!

A great book and a must to own. Wish it had covered all of Ali's work. Hopefully the next edition will cover more work.
