palestinian sunbird!

hey guys! so, evidently i've been gone for a while. it was kind of a bad time for me to start this account. a bunch of shit happened and everything sucked and it made me get art block 💔 oops. but now what's going on is too important to just sit there and have art block about. i'm using my, albiet small, platform to spread the palestinian cause during this global strike week called on by bisan. the palestinian sunbird is a symbol of freedom for the palestinian people. it flies across borders and checkpoints in defiance of israeli occupation. i hope that someday soon the palestinian people can be as free as their national bird ❤️🖤🤍💚

As soon as I learned about the Palestinian sunbird this week, which became Palestine's national bird in 2015 after Israel failed to rename it, I knew I had to paint one. What a beautiful bird to symbolise Palestinian hope.

Please don't turn a blind eye to cruelty and lose sight of humanity. Boycott, donate, spread the word, keep an open mind and heart, whatever is in your capacity to help, we shouldn't allow such awful things to happen in the world and have no reaction.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

The Palestinian sunbird is quite beautiful, and fits both its common name and scientific name very well; among ornithologists its known as Cinnyris osea. The word Cinnyris comes from the Greek kinnyris, which referred to a small bird common in Ancient Greece (possibly another species of sunbird), while osea is derived from the word ὁσια (hosia) which means "holy".

This little bird is quite resilient-- as are the people of Palestine. You can donate to UNICEF here to support relief work in Gaza.

Palestinian Sunbird

The Palestine sunbird was declared the national bird of Palestine in 2015 after the Israeli occupation authorities tried to change its name in their efforts to erase Palestinian identity.

Even as the strike comes to an end, take what you have learned from it and keep on fighting strong.

It has been one hundred and twenty-three days since the bombing began in Ghazzah. Do not stand complicit in this genocide. Demand a ceasefire now!

I know Palestine will be free.
