Gaza history of struggle

One of the most famous cartoonists in the world, a heroic epic that tells the tragedy of the Palestinian people in his book titled "Gaza: A History of Struggle Footnotes in Gaza." The city of Rafah is located at the southernmost tip of the Gaza Strip. It is a miserable city. Cement buildings under construction meet ruined areas, and its narrow streets are crowded with children and unemployed men. Rafah borders Egypt, and today — as always — it is known as a constant hotspot. This book is a deep exploration of the history of a bloody incident that claimed the lives of 111 martyrs among Palestinian refugees killed by Israeli soldiers, and this incident apparently marked a reference point for a long history of killing, whether it was a massacre committed cold-bloodedly according to the Palestinian narrative, or a tragic event according to the Zionist narrative. However, there is competition to uncover the facts of this incident amid difficulty in finding a solution to this intractable war. In his quest to reveal what actually happened, Joe Sako aimed at Gaza Strip, immersed himself in its daily life, uncovering the past and present of Rafah, moving through a period of 50 years, living among the voices of refugees, schoolchildren, widows, and elders, where Joe captures in this book the pulse and spirit of the tragedy. Joe Sako, with his unique human sense, skillfully refutes the general scene with journalistic brilliance, paying close attention to details, considering this book the most ambitious work so far, detailing this historic conflict through a direct and accurate experience using caricature, which in many cases surpasses other means of expression.
