#leaflets

My father used to hand-draw leaflets for the supermarket where he worked… I found a manuscript from that time. It's round and retro cute. I like the word ‘evening market’. By the way, my father didn't work in a designer way, he was the manager of the supermarket here. He wanted to be a cartoonist since he was a child, but one chance set him back, and he drew these in between his shop manager duties.

The IDF scattered leaflets in Gaza with instructions to the militants on how to surrender in order to save themselves:

 1. Disarm yourself 

 2. Raise your hands

 3. If you can wave a white sign

 4. Act according to IDF instructions

 5. There is no need to bring food and water with you. We will take care of that.

"...and distribute leaflets warning the local people against cooperating with the Arab Liberation Army. Any resistance to such an incursion usually ended with the Jewish troops firing at random and killing several villagers." (1947)

Israel is dropping leaflets above Gaza, warning residents to flee & warning those who don't evacuate northern Gaza, will be seen as "an accomplice of a terrorist organization." A breach of international law & justification for the atrocities to follow. (2023)

Threatening leaflets were also distributed in Syrian and Lebanese villages on Palestine's border, warning the population. "If the war will be taken to your place, it will cause massive expulsion of the villagers with their wives and their children. Those of you who do not wish to come to such a fate, I will tell them: in this war there will be merciless killing, no compassion. If you are not participating in this war, you will not have to leave your houses and villages.
