EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard, sent as a gift to the Palestinian newspaper Jarida Filastin (The Palestinian Voice 1911-1948) around 1920, depicts a determined Palestinian freedom fighter standing proudly against the backdrop of the Syrian desert. The fighter, dressed in traditional Middle Eastern attire, wears a headdress adorned with a fez and a keffiyeh, and is armed with a rifle slung over his shoulder, a belt filled with cartridges, and two pouches attached to his belt. A bullets belt crisscrosses his chest, adding to his formidable appearance. The British Mandate over Palestine, established in 1920, was met with fierce opposition from the indigenous Palestinian population who saw it as a threat to their national aspirations. This image of a Palestinian freedom fighter symbolizes the resistance and courage of those who fought against the British occupation. The postcard serves as a powerful reminder of a significant period in Middle Eastern history, when the people of Palestine and Syria sought to assert their freedom and self-determination in the face of foreign rule. The image of the freedom fighter continues to resonate with people today, as the struggle for self-determination and freedom remains a relevant issue in many parts of the world.
