Ceramic Magnet - Handala

Dimensions: 2-3/4" in diameter This magnet features the Handala image. Naji Al-Ali created cartoons that depict the complexities of the plight of Palestinian refugees. Handala, the refugee child who is present in every cartoon, remains a potent symbol of the struggle of the Palestinian people for justice and self-determination. Made in Hebron, Palestine by the Fakhoury family. The Fakhoury’s come from a long line of potters and, in fact, the name Fakhoury even means “potter” in Arabic. Their shop is located in the old city of Hebron where Israeli soldiers and settlers routinely physically and verbally harass Palestinians. Despite the difficulties, the family is determined to keep their store open and their craft alive.
