Le Jour de la Terre, nous libérons la patrie avec des fusils Circa 1970

This circa 1970 original poster issued by the P.L.O. Unified Information, combining political symbolism with agricultural imagery, reflects the visual language of Palestinian militant and nationalist propaganda during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Although an exact date is difficult to confirm, the graphic style and institutional credit suggest production around that period.

The Arabic slogan appearing at the top is best translated as “On the Day of the Land, we liberate the homeland by force”. The phrase evokes themes of territorial identity and resistance commonly used in political posters of the era. Your proposed title referencing rifles is understandable visually but not a precise translation of the text.

The imagery juxtaposes cultivation and armed struggle: a farmer working the land forms the background, while in the foreground a hand holds both a rifle and wheat sheaves. This dual symbolism merges agriculture, homeland attachment, and political struggle — a recurring motif in Middle Eastern political graphic design of the period.

Printed with a limited palette and bold contrasts, the poster exemplifies the direct visual communication typical of activist and political printmaking of the time. Today, such pieces are collected as historical documents illustrating political messaging, graphic design trends, and the visual culture surrounding mid-20th-century geopolitical conflicts.
