The Terminal | Narrative Digital Painting | by Alhyari
When his pouch was run through the X-ray scanner, a bottle of frozen liquid was shouting for attention. Since the flight was not due before 2 hours, he was calm when he untied the knot for the alert officials in black uniforms. They inspected the olive oil bottle carefully, knocked on the eggs he separated in socks one by one and argued if the sound was natural, and they seized one Kilogram of grape leaves stuffed with rice, that was all his supply.
On the look for a quiet corner to wait until his flight was called, he was reflecting about life. Two things crossed his mind, but I’m not entitled to share them. The place, though bursting with infinite vistas of exploration, was narrow and dark. He just wanted to leave it behind, to get as far away from it as he could.

“Antisemitism hurts the cause for Palestinian freedom. It is not welcomed nor tolerated nor does it reflect the spirit or plight of the Palestinian people.
We appreciate our Jewish sisters and brothers who have been bold & brave accomplices in our struggle. We see you. We are in this together.”
“Being critical of Israel is being critical of Zionism. Since the policies of Israeli government are based on Zionist policies not the old testimony or Jewish principles.”
Here, folks, we have a Proud Israeli teaching us about semitism and yet mocking Muslims and Islam.
