The girl with the braids-Gaza

“The girl with the braids” has long been a symbol of innocence in Palestinian and Arab culture, representing joy and weddings, adorned with joyous songs, smiles, and dances, decorated with henna to make her a cheerful blonde. However, this time she extends a narrative of pain, oppression, and helplessness in the Gaza Strip, a story inscribed by the “genocidal war” with the criminal rockets and treacherous shells of the Zionist-American aggression. The Palestinian martyr, “The girl with the braids,” has become a new icon of pain, cursing the global silence and helplessness in the face of the Israeli massacres in Palestine for over a year and a half.
