25 Powerful Images Of The Gaza Bombings Turned Into Art

While we’re sitting safely at home, going on with our everyday lives, the conflict between Palestine and Israel that has begun years if not decades ago is once again escalating. Just recently over 1000 Palestinian civilians were killed in the air strikes of Gaza that lasted almost 10 days. There are different reasons for the conflict, not the least of which is religion, but no cause can be greater then the lost lives of innoscent people.

When you’re surrounded by death and violence it is hard to hold back and not want to pay back the ones who caused your suffering in equal and greater measures. But starting a rebellion, no matter how well intended and necessary, always brings more suffering and accomplishes very little to ending the conflict.

There has to be a more peaceful way of coping with all that violence and it seems that a few Palestinian artists have a step in the right direction. Tawfik Gebreel, Bushra Shanan and Belal Khaled have decided to pick up the pen instead of the pistol. They used the devastating images of the smoke clouds created by the Gaza bombings and turned them into some powerful art.

Here are some of their creations that need no explanations.

For the sake of all the innocent civilians caught in the cross fire let’s pray that everyone can help in resolving the Israel/Palestine conflict before it reaches the point of no return.
