New Release: Midnight Thoughts in Gaza
An earnest reflection upon universal suffering through the telescopic traumas of Gaza.
We’re catching up on all the zines launched this month. Congratulations, Mohammed Al-Bardawili and his team on the release of this beautiful zine, illustrated by Casper. Insightful and earnest, as writings from Gaza tend to be, this is an illuminating work.
Zine Description
An earnest reflection upon universal suffering through the telescopic traumas of Gaza. Drones light the night, replacing shooting stars, while residents shelter in the bareness of dust and sky. Words of compassion, of deep contemplation, roam the wreckage in search of answers. Logic leads to humanity, its pride and stubbornness, its destructive capacity to walk the earth like a breed of monsters, incapable of witnessing the future because they bury it in Gaza with their own hands.
About the Author

He has worked to support his family of seven, serving as a digital marketer and content writer in both Arabic and English. He lost his job during the war and continues to struggle, striving for the wellbeing of himself, his family, and his community.
Driven by a determination to amplify the voices of his people, Mohammed seeks to carry their stories beyond the borders of this small city, hoping that the world will hear, witness, and share the weight of the suffering that burdens Gaza.
