This is one of my favorite pieces of protest/aspirational art. It takes two symbols that were created as nationalistic icons of parallel ethnic identify and struggle, co-opting them whilst respecting and corrupting each:

  • Handala is shown unclamping his hands from behind his back, in embrace of the Jewish icon…
  • Srulik who is humbled and an equal to Handala, as opposed to his normally wry, powerful and competent characterization. He is effaced as well, with both aligned looking towards a shared future.
