Palestinians dress like the Na’vi from Avatar during Gaza protests

Friday 4-May-2018

A group of Palestinian youths on Friday decided to protest near the border fence east of Khuza’a town in the southern Gaza Strip while dressed like a character from the famous science fiction film Avatar.

With their blue clothes and long hair the youths participated in the protests to emphasize the peacefulness of Gaza’s Great March of Return and condemn the Israeli crimes.

The youths raised Palestinians flags the kufiyah and portraits of Palestinians killed in the protests including journalist Yaser Murtaja and the deaf boy Tahrir Wahba. They also presented some performances that mimic some scenes taken from the American movie.

Avatar is a science fiction film directed by James Cameron. It was released in theaters in the US on 18th December 2009.

The movie tells the story of a paraplegic former soldier sent to a moon called Pandora and inhabited by the Na’vi a species of three-meter tall blue-skinned sapient humanoids that live in harmony before the arrival of humans who come to search for a valuable mineral on this moon.

To explore Pandora’s biosphere scientists use Na’vi-human hybrids called “Avatars” operated by genetically matched humans.
