Oh Rascal Children of Gaza
This is an interactive version of a poem called "Oh Rascal Children of Gaza" by Khaled Juma. When I first read this poem it felt like a punch to the heart. I wanted to focus on it for my game jam submission as a response to the dehumanization of Palestinian children that I've been seeing. I hope that by engaging with this jam entry people are encouraged to look at more Palestinian poems--to read their stories and learn more about their plight.

this hit like a punch to the heart
which was probably the intent
so good job
especially since this will reach more people, due to it being in a format some prefer
maybe not many
i dont quite know who prefers using interactive media over simple words on a screen or page to read poetry
but they are almost certainly out there
so thank you for that
no prob, thank you so much for checking this out 🙏🏽
Thank you for caring about them.
It’s the least I can do, I wish more people cared :(
