A blank A6 greeting card with a print of a Palestinian History Tapestry embroidery panel depicting the destruction of Bedouin villages by Israeli bulldozers.

This draws attention to the cycle of destruction and reconstruction of many Bedouin villages, including Al-Arakeeb, Aum Al-Heran, and threatened Khan Al-Ahmar in the Jordan Valley. These villages have been destroyed by the Israeli Army in a policy of further ethnic cleansing to establish Jewish-only settlements. The panel is inspired by a painting by Bashir Abu-Rabia’, the first Bedouin artist in the Negev, who began featuring Palestinian embroidery in his paintings in 1969.

The card comes with a blank white envelope and a cellophane sleeve.

Source of image: From a painting by artist Bashir Abu-Rabia.
Embroidery: Naama al Awawdah [Es Samu], Khalil District.
