About the Item

This original Palestinian poster, produced by the General Union of Palestinian Students (GUPS), is a powerful example of the political messaging and artistic expression that characterized the era of Palestinian resistance. Designed to communicate both visually and linguistically, this poster serves as a poignant reflection of the struggle against Zionism and the broader context of the Palestinian liberation movement. The poster features two distinct visual elements: on the right, masked figures wielding batons, depicted in bold black and white, symbolize the militarized oppression faced by Palestinians. On the left, a series of photographic images in sepia tones portrays harrowing scenes of violence, suffering, and confrontation, offering a stark reminder of the human toll of the conflict. The background features a striking yellow hue divided by vertical blue lines, creating a sense of division and tension. At the center, the Arabic text declares, "الصهيونية = العنصرية", which translates to "Zionism = Racism." This slogan became internationally recognized following the adoption of UN General Assembly Resolution 3379 in 1975, which equated Zionism with racism. Additionally, the GUPS logo and identifying text appear in the lower-left corner, grounding the poster in its organizational origins. Created during the height of global solidarity movements for Palestinian rights, this poster reflects the intersection of art and activism. The General Union of Palestinian Students, established in 1959, was instrumental in mobilizing young Palestinians and raising awareness about their cause on an international stage. This particular poster ties into the broader narrative of resistance against Zionist expansion and the international critique of apartheid-like policies. The imagery of soldiers and victims evokes empathy and outrage, while the slogan connects the Palestinian struggle to broader anti-racist movements worldwide. By pairing stark visuals with a direct political message, the poster underscores the urgency of resistance and solidarity. This piece of visual propaganda remains a significant artifact of 20th-century Palestinian resistance, encapsulating the fusion of graphic design, photography, and political rhetoric. Its preservation offers insight into the methods of communication employed by Palestinian organizations to galvanize support and challenge global perceptions of their struggle. As both an artistic and historical document, the poster holds enduring relevance, prompting discussions about representation, resistance, and the role of art in political movements.
