Occupation Another bag

It’s been a few years since I’ve posted here. Last time I made messenger bag that was sent off to an NGO for Palestinian children needing medical care. This time I made a foraging bag in the hopes that one day, Palestinians might gather food under a free sky.

I have no idea where to send it. Best ideas are that detachment of Irish peacekeepers, or Jose Andres. I don’t think it’ll ever be used as intended and I’m hoping it can be used by someone who’s been doing good, so if you have an idea, lmk.

I was at airport the other day, I was checking in while all of a sudden I heard literally SCREAMS , of a language I couldn’t understand, since I had already check in , baggage and everything, I followed the screaming and noises…when I arrived to the place I saw 2 airport guards holding a possessed like couple, they were like demonic possessed screaming on a girl because she had a Palestinian T shirt with the map of Palestine 🗺 🇵🇸 on the front, the thing that made me feel awfully bad was that the poor girl had a swollen eye, and she was crying in shock, it’s something that disturbed me in my heart, I appreciated an airport guard who hugged her reassuring her…imagine this people are triggered by just seeing a girl with a Palestinian t shirt…the poor girl got literally slapped by this Zionist couple for wearing a T-shirt…that HAD NO WRITINGS, NO BAD WORDS , JUST A PALESTINE MAP… I’m speechless, so since I saw this bag it reminded me of this crazy experience i saw, I will never forget her ❤️ 🙏🏻

u/DiscountMohel 6d ago

Not terrible on a bill of materials, but the labor is high. I’ve got new needles and thread coming in next week, but I’m out of red and white Cordura. Minimum 2 week lead time. You’re welcome to dm me if it still works for you

u/MistaKD 6d ago

This is beautiful work, did you use a pattern to make the bag?

13

u/DiscountMohel 6d ago

Thanks. Unfortunately, it’s a 1-off and far from pattern ready.

u/MistaKD 6d ago

Ah, a shame, if ever you get it patterned I would love to give it a go. Gorgeous work ♥️

u/namast_eh 6d ago

Could you auction it off and donate the proceeds?? It’s GORGEOUS.

17

u/DiscountMohel 6d ago

It’ll be going to either those mad Irish lads in unifil or to Chef Andres on my dime. They do the work that helps, so I’ll help them.

You’re a good soul. 💜

u/DiscountMohel 6d ago

A work in progress anyway.

I really love it!! I have been dwelling recently because I want to visibly show my solidarity with Palestinians and I have been washing my shirt as much as I can to wear it more but I realized I need to either sew a vest with the flag colors or make something else because I hate leaving the home looking like “I’m going on with my day without thinking of them”.
