Sarcastic, poignant and perhaps too bold, El Ali's cartoons were drawn from his experience as a Palestinian refugee since childhood and clearly reflected his political stance, which was often critical of the Arab regimes. Naji al-Ali developed a stark and symbolic style during his thirty year campaign on behalf of Palestinians. On July 22, 1987, in London, Naji Al-Ali was assassinated as he walked towards the offices of Al-Qabas newspaper. He died in the hospital on August 29th. His murderer has never been apprehended. To this day, Naji Al-Ali's searing cartoons, seen through the eyes of the refugee boy named Handala, continue to be used over and over again.
