Working on the depiction of trauma and conflict in Joe Sacco�s graphic narrative Palestine, the paper enables to understand the effects of the Israeli Palestinian conflict on the lives of its victims and survivors. The study provides an account on the multifarious dimensions of conflict and helps to understand the life during times of conflict and also strives to depict the trauma endured by the civilians. People who lived in such conflict zones had to keep their lives moving amidst the bitter realities of life which shrouded them. Thus, the narratives from such conflict zones became testimonials of soul stirring accounts of pain and survival. The narrations described the oppression and subjugation faced by the people during times of conflict, such as detainment, crude modes of interrogation, arrests, torture, cruelty and many more stories of physical and mental torture. The paper thereby, focusses on the life in the Israeli Palestine conflict zone, and how Joe Sacco depicts trauma through his brilliant socio-political graphic narrative �Palestine�.
