"Pablo Picasso's Guernica (1937) is a massive mural acting as a raw, emotional outcry against the horrors of war, specifically the bombing of the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. It is a universal symbol of anti-war sentiment, using monochromatic tones (black, white, grey) to evoke desolation and documentary-like tragedy.
"The death toll from the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has reached 72,568, with 172,338 injured"
There is something significantly more tragic than Israel's genocide in Gaza. It is the lack of universal condemnation. Israel must suffer financially. I understand the importance of financial aid to Israel. I do not believe this reasoning matters any longer. The Israeli's need to suffer financially. I favor ending all financial assistance to Israel, with a caveat the US will be there to protect Israel's rightful boarders. This means not the occupied lands.
The world must welcome a "Gaza" painting if it reaches the level of Picasso. The world will not.
I qualify this with a clear condemnation of anyone who tries to view what Netanyahu, and his supporters did in Gaza as having anything to do with Judaism. It no more has anything to do with Judaism than 9/11 had anything to do with Islam.
This painting with a broad brush must stop.
