Palestinian artists are helping to send the message that reminds Israel that the World sees Israel’s brutality, its destruction and the human trauma Israel has created in the Gaza Strip. A new generation of Palestine children see Israel for what it really is

The artwork of several foreign and local activists/artists who draw and paint “eyes” to make a statement on some homes and property destroyed by Israel during last summer’s brutal invasion and Israeli violence.
Organizers of those art works say that the “eyes” belong to real children who are free to write their own slogans, feeling and emotions.
During Israel’s brutality, hundreds of children were killed by Israel soldiers along with thousands of innocent Palestinians civilians.
Here are some of those graphic images painted on the rubble of Israel’s destruction.
