They committed war crimes. We told them to stop.

They didn’t listen. So we made the War Criminals Playing Cards.

This limited edition deck of cards features original artwork by a Palestinian artist that plays on the close relationship between the United States and Israel in their actions against the Palestinian Territories and is a long-coming response to the U.S. Military's Most Wanted Iraqis Playing Cards, made in 2003.

The War Criminals Playing Cards are inspired by the Most Wanted Iraqis Playing Cards in that they replace the bogeyman of the Arab militant or "terrorist" with the leaders of the West, who created that bogeyman to begin with, and who bear responsibility for the anti-Arab, Islamophobic and anti-Palestinian sentiment that created the conditions for the genocide in Gaza.

The deck introduces the U.S. War Cabinet as the suit as of Spades, the Israeli War Cabinet as the suit of Diamonds, the spokespeople supporting both war cabinets as the suit of Clubs, and world leaders and scions who contributed arms, funds and political cover as the suit of Hearts.

The team behind the deck is an anonymous collective that includes a former political press secretary and former advisor to the Middle East Peace Envoy, a senior campaign strategist, a human rights lawyer, a creative director and an artist.

They forget they are accountable to us, the people, despite their status, power, and wealth. These playing cards were made to remind them. Buy the deck, play with the cards. Remember their faces, remember their crimes.
