A flying lamb vs bulldozers in the Arab Jahalin Bedouin village in Palestine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synopsis<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Israeli bulldozers arrived at her Bedouin village to demolish her home, 14-year-old Palestine refugee girl Salha called on her flying lamb Hantush to take her somewhere far away…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More info:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

HANTUSH – a fairytale by 14-year-old Palestinian refugee girl Salha Hamadin, winner of the \u201cHans Christian Andersen Fairytale Bay\u201d prize in 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salha is member of the Arab Jahalin Bedouin community in the Israeli-controlled Area C of the occupied West Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She wrote this fairytale in 2012 after Israeli bulldozers arrived in her village to demolish it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have come 5 times so far (2022), and every time Palestinian and international activists come to protect the village, and children write in placards “DON’T DEMOLISH MY HOME AND MY SCHOOL”\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dedicated to the memory of activist Rachel Corrie, who was crushed by an Israeli bulldozer in Gaza in 2003, and journalist Shirin Abu Akleh, who was shot in the head while covering an Israeli military raid on the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
