Handala, Hanzalah Najial Ali from http://www.najialali.com

Editor: Who is this!
Naji: A boy!

Editor: I know it's a boy.
Naji: His name is Hanzalah!

Editor: Why he has his back turned on people?
Naji: (Silence)....Since he flee from Palestine; he's been looking back towards it ever since.
Naji: ...and because people have turned their backs on Palestine, it might have appeared to you as if he has his back tuned on people.

Editor: A great idea...but we have to explain it to the reader...

[Naji introducing Handala to the readers for the first time]

Hadala: Dear reader,
Allow me to introduce my self

My Name is Hanzalah
My Fathers name isn't really important!
My mothers' name is Nakbah (Catastrophe)
My shoe size! I don't know it because I'm always bare-footed.

My nationality!
I'm not a Palestinian
Not Kuwaiti
not Lebanese
not Egyptian
I'm an Arab!

Hadala continues: I meet up by chance with the cartoonist Naji... he was angry hating his job, because he's unable to pencil in and he explained to me the reason...

Every time he drew a caricature, a leader, a ministry, or an embassy must complain about the caricature he made....and he told me he will go find his self a new job from now on.

And after I comforted him and I introduced my self to him properly
.....I told him I'm going to draw the caricatures on his behalf every day.

he should have said, "I'm not a Palestinian, not Kuwaiti, not Lebanese, not Egyptian, I'M A MUSLIM"...

i'm sorry, but i'm of opinion that nationalism is a disease that is holding muslims back from realising their true potential as an ummah

[aelbadri]

I agree that Muslims have a greater potential as an ummah.

Arabs (Muslims and Christians) have also a strong tie amongst each other, and that should not be completely marginalized.

Thank you for your comments

i wish the whole movie was online...ive been looking all over for it

[hraslan]

W all due respect I disagree w u, the beauty that our region had is that for centuries it had citizens from all 3 religions living together side by side, thus no rational to have a Jewish country. The Palestinian issue isnt only one that concerns Muslims its a matter of concern for those who are tied by the bond of belonging to this region.
