Show your support and love with this sturdy and warm Palestine Handhala Tatreez design customized sweatshirt bound to keep you warm in the colder months. Handala (Arabic: حنظلة), also Handhala, Hanzala or Hanthala, is a prominent national symbol and personification of the Palestinian people. The character was created in 1969 by political cartoonist Naji al-Ali, and first took its current form in 1973. Handala became the signature of Naji al-Ali’s cartoons and remains an iconic symbol of Palestinian identity and defiance. The character has been described as “portraying war, resistance, and the Palestinian identity with astounding clarity”. The name comes from Citrullus colocynthis (Arabic: حنظل, romanized: Handhal), a perennial plant local to the region of Palestine which bears a bitter fruit, grows back when cut and has deep roots. Handala was born 10 years old and he will always be 10 years old. It was at that age that I left my homeland. When Handala returns, he will still be 10 years old, and then he will start growing up, Naji Al-Ali wrote. 50% cotton, 50% polyester Pre-shrunk Classic fit 1×1 athletic rib knit collar with spandex Air-jet spun yarn with a soft feel Double-needle stitched collar, shoulders, armholes, cuffs, and hem Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
