Naji al-ali (1936 - 1987), a Palestinian illustrator . He is an artist who transcended fictional frontiers using lines that draw free borders, the boundaries of freedom without pavements, the freedom of the artist, the people, and the homeland. He lived on the edge of danger because he was closest to the truth. In 1985 he moved to London and during that period he published more than 40,000 cartoons. The Time magazine described him saying: "This man draws with human bones." The 'Asahi' Japanese newspaper wrote: "Naji Al-Ali draws using phosphoric acid. Also " The New York Times once wrote: "If you want to know what the Arabs think of the US look at Naji Al-Ali's cartoons. In 1987 he was killed in Central London by a hired murderer.
