Photo: Little Amal, World Traveler
The Handspring Puppet Company and Good Chance Theatre sought to raise awareness of refugee rights while celebrating human migration.

From July to November 2021, an 11-foot puppet named Little Amal traversed eight countries and 65 towns and cities to raise awareness of refugee rights and celebrate human migration. A project of the Handspring Puppet Company and Good Chance Theatre, Little Amal, whose name means hope in Arabic, represented a 9-year-old Syrian refugee girl. Little Amal's travels began on the Syria-Turkey border and ended in Manchester, England. She was received with warmth and vitriol alike. In Rome, she met the Pope. In Greece, protesters pelted her with stones.

So where is the pupping landing next. I will set up a table selling stones and other projectiles- vegetables.
I heard she's living in a Section 8 apartment in Minneapolis.
Running for city council.
Ambassador to Ukraine.
Or D.A.
OBL, how do you feel about puppet migration?
This is a pagan idol of emotional manipulation. How many Syrian refugees were nine year old girls rather than 20 something men?
To be fair, the puppet looks like an angry old woman.
Or a Democrat mayor.
Maybe take a second look without the beer goggles. I see a mustache and man-hands. Whatever it may be presenting as on the outside, I'm pretty sure it's a man underneath.
Seriously, the thing looks like Jafar from Aladdin.
I see it.
There's their wives...
In Greece, protesters pelted her with stones.
Given that at this point, promoting immigration is a transparent and obvious act of hostility towards the native populations, her handlers should consider themselves lucky that the puppet was the only victim of the pelting.
Doj is working on giving the puppet 450k
Funny how you leftists don't give a shit about the problems your sacred "asylum" seekers bring with them and create in their new countries. Do the natives have to be forcibly ejected before you'll consider what is done to them?
Feature, not bug.
And why isn't she wearing a mask?
Did she spend two weeks in quarantine in every nation she visited?
I have nothing against puppets or puppet people, but my guess is they are somehow doing it for money. Greedy bastards don't care about awareness.
Jesus H. Christ! Judging from the responses here, there must be some PCP laced in that papier mâché and it must be powefful enough to penetrate electronics.
Say what you will about immigration policy, but it's just a Goddamn puppet!
It's the politics behind it.
I'm sure she will receive a warm welcome in Hungary.
This world wide immigration is part of George Soros plan to destroy western civilization and replace it with third world poverty while he rakes the cash in. Soros needs to be stopped by what ever means necessary. He has already destroyed U.S. cities by owning and controlling the prosecutors who release dangerous, violent criminals back onto the streets to commit further crimes.The recent murders of innocent women illustrate just how bad it is.
The southern border needs to be closed with an iron gate. America is in danger of collapsing entirely and the influx of more people, especially when they are not vetted allows for the most dangerous criminals to gain access to victimize Americans.
We need to declare war on the crime cartels that control northern Mexico. A few cruise missiles on the haciendas of the traffickers would do more to slow down illegal entries than doing more of the same "border enforcement".
