A small act of digital solidarity.

We privileged thinkers debate lofty, abstract issues, yet reality pulls us elsewhere.

While we wondered whether AI in art is ethical, Palestinian children—living a far harsher truth—used felt-tip pens to write their names on their bodies so loved ones might recognise their remains.

Markers made for creativity now trace horror. From that shock came Code for Gaza: a handful of lines that anyone can embed on a site—a self-assembling Palestinian flag, pixel by pixel.

The snippet has no link back here. It’s meant to travel freely, spreading a sense of shared responsibility and urging us to choose a side rather than stay silent.

<div data-pal-flag></div>
<script defer src="https://valeriavito.blog/pal-embed.js"></script>
  

If you’d like to add a “COPY CODE” button to help spread the snippet, use this:

<figure style="max-width:600px;margin:0 auto;text-align:center;">

  <iframe
    src="https://valeriavito.blog/palestine.html"
    title="Palestinian flag"
    loading="lazy"
    style="border:none;width:200px;height:160px;display:block;margin:0 auto 1rem;">
  </iframe>

  <pre id="codeToCopy" style="position:absolute;left:-9999px;">
    [the same code goes here, but will be replaced dynamically]
  </pre>

  <button
    onclick="copyEmbed()"
    style="display:block;margin:0 auto 1rem;padding:0.5rem 1rem;cursor:pointer;">
    COPY CODE
  </button>

  <script>
  function copyEmbed() {
    const code = document.getElementById("codeToCopy").innerText;
    navigator.clipboard.writeText(code).then(() => {
      alert("Code copied! You can now paste it on your site.");
    });
  }
  </script>

</figure>
  

The symbol I chose is simple—just as a child’s life should be.
