Information
The Palestinian wound has been bleeding for seventy-five years; The enemy kills, slaughters, brutalizes, settles, and commits convoys of massacres against our people in the occupied territories after most of them were displaced in the diaspora, and he began to continue his crimes by killing thinkers and writers because they exposed his brutality and expressed their complete solidarity with the Palestinian right with the absolute word, and spilled it as ink on paper. So what is the role of intellectuals and creators in Exposing the crimes and massacres of the enemy against the Palestinian Arab people and the peoples of the world. Is a word equivalent to a bullet on the battlefield?
The word is position
The writer Ahmed Ali Hilal pointed out that the role of the intellectual is a historical necessity, especially in wars on homelands, and it is necessary to restore the conversation about the nature of the intellectual and his function as well as the creative, based on the meaning of the defining moment in order to restore the intuitions of the role and its essence in order to deny everything that constitutes his exclusion.
The double responsibility in defending the homeland; On the other hand, exposing the crimes of “Zionism” exceeded what Nazism, fascism, and racism did. Palestine is a moment of collective conscience that unites the visions of intellectuals and writers who are most attentive to the function of the word, its momentum and its impact on two levels: glorifying collective heroism, and exposing and laying bare the brutality of the invading “Zionist” occupation and its recurring atrocities on the land of Gaza and Palestine.
The word is an attitude and a vision that always proclaims the truth and bears witness to it. Unless the word and discourse constitute an incubating environment for multi-level resistance, culture becomes an act of luxury and consumption, especially at the moment of existential entitlement, which means identity, memory, and history.
He explained that the engaged intellectual is a historical necessity due to his advanced awareness, and the title now is for a culture worthy of its name, so there is no neutrality, no waiting, and no standing in Ramadi.
The war on Gaza is deserved, as is Syria and every Arab land that resists the occupier in order to regain the land. The reality of the roles in the same field, unless it emerges from a resistant cultural project, will remain in the theoretical realm separated from reality, and it is considered that the different understanding of the reality of culture and creativity should both formulate a new contract with the nation’s memory. . Although they are complex roles, they are, by historical necessity, an expression of a new awareness that is necessary for us to deserve our countries.
Confrontation culture
The writer Hassan Ibrahim Al-Nasser saw that the logic of history confirms a truth as clear as the glow of the sun: defending the homeland is a duty of belief and certainty, in which there is no hesitation or grayness in words, weapons, and stance, a belief that the homeland is precious.
In the current blatant aggression against our people in Gaza, the truth of the dark, aggressive war against Syria became clear to the world, the heart of the Arab nation. They wanted to kill the heart so that they could easily dismember the rest of the Arab body.
He continued, saying: The role of the true writer and intellectual is focused on stimulating the culture of confrontation, and there is nothing clearer than explaining language, literature, art and creativity as a complementary weapon for a fighter defending the homeland because the word in its place and time is a bullet whose weapon is faith in God and the homeland, and that the resolutions of the United Nations and the Security Council remain ink on paper. If there is no resistance force on the ground defending the occupied land?! For decades, the Arab people have had their homelands subjected to occupation and colonizer tutelage many times throughout human history. But he did not surrender, and he would not surrender. Rather, peoples always rose and gathered themselves through thought, culture, and work to achieve national national goals that rejected occupation, guardianship, and subordination.
He also clarified that the massacres and genocide that our people in occupied Arab Palestine are being subjected to clearly indicate “Zionist racism” and its role that has no connection even to “true Judaism,” as the criminal “Zionists” who come from the diaspora of the world claim to usurp a land that is not theirs, kill its people, and exile them. outside it, and then divide the Arab world into states and sects in order to form their “racial, Zionist, Jewish state”!
Literature to expose crimes
Then the writer Al-Nasser added that perhaps one of the most difficult interim matters is writing about the subject of national identity and belonging to the homeland through thought, literature, art and culture to expose the crimes of the “Israeli” occupation in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, southern Lebanon and the Syrian Golan, and to show a truth that can be known by all the peoples of the world as well as the people of the world. The Arab people, especially in Syria: The American administration is the main decision maker in sowing discord and spreading the culture of creative chaos and modern liberalism to disintegrate societies and create conflicts and mobile wars in service of two basic goals:
The first is to protect “Israel” through the presence of states with dilapidated institutions, failed, and torn apart, fighting among themselves to show that they are a scientific state that possesses technology, information technology, and industries. The Arab people are turning into a consumer society that no longer thinks about defending rights, land, or water. A society whose only concern is securing a living, while the second is achieving American and Western interests and exploiting wars to expand the arms trade, creating a consumer market for the products of the colonial West, and stealing the wealth of countries they occupy or that have come under American and Western guardianship.
He concluded his speech by saying that every Arab writer, researcher, journalist, and artist must take his role in defending the homeland and documenting the heroics and legendary epics written by the heroes of the resistance with blood, sweat, and effort so that the Arab generations read the truth about the historical events that took place and continue the process of defending the homeland in a spirit of responsibility.
The conscious vanguard
For his part, the writer Issa Ismail considered intellectuals to be the conscious vanguard because they are more sensitive and aware of events and their evaluation, and are able, with their diverse cultural methods, especially in the field of poetry and literature, to declare their opinion because it is a mirror of the opinion of society, and what we are witnessing in our current days of brutal and criminal aggression has never been preceded by a terrible aggression before, so that The crimes of “Zionism” exceeded what Nazism did.
We are witnessing the rise of the voices of intellectuals through various media outlets, and various cultural and literary activities have increased, confirming that the role of culture denounces aggression.
We are witnessing the rise of the voices of intellectuals through various media outlets, and various cultural and literary activities have increased, emphasizing that the role of culture denounces aggression, sharpens resolve, and clarifies the picture on the ground. The Palestinian people occupy a foreign land, and have lived since 1948 in a state of siege, threats, systematic killing, arrests, and confiscation of the rights of the people. He rose up in the face of a sinful aggressor in a rare heroic act that made the “Zionists” lose their senses, so they began killing innocent children, women, and the elderly, bombing hospitals, imprisoning them, and brutalizing them.
While he pointed out that a word today is equivalent to a bullet, especially if it is conveyed truthfully through the media, especially international ones, and is objective, disseminating the facts of the horrific aggression, and placing part of the responsibility on the American and European governments that stand on the side of the aggressor against the victim, concluding that a brief and purposeful word conveys the truth and with its sincerity reaches the ears of the world. .
A mirror of his time
The writer Asmahan Al-Halawani pointed out that in light of the great silence that we have become accustomed to from international governments and some Arab governments alike regarding the criminal “Israeli” aggression against Gaza, a question arises that imposes itself: Where is the role of the intellectual in his reading and uprising of the seismic, invasive events of the event, and where is his speech in the Arab discourse? The cold and his trends?
The creator has always been a mirror of his time and history, documenting in his writings the events that took place in his country from the point of view of his emotional or conscious, experiential visions. Perhaps the products he leaves are truer than many books documenting the triumphs of the victor, so we wonder: Why do some of them tip the scales?
The answer: Because he is the rebel with all his intense emotions and who draws his weapon of ink and color and rejects the strength of his outlook and his understanding of his affiliation and his cause. What are we in need today in light of misleading global media that turns the owners of the right, the land and the roots into terrorists who go too far in their rightful demands, enticing the world to stand by their self-evident rights despite all the brutal practices issued? About the “Zionists” who usurped the security, safety and childhood life of Gaza and received Western support. While the owners of the flood pay the price for their bold operation with their lives, blood, and the usurpation of their property.
She also pointed out our need for a loud cry that cannot achieve resonance unless it comes resounding with all means of creativity, to be an imprint deeply rooted in the sincerity of interaction, standing by the resistance and weapons to achieve justice and support the oppressed, saying: I do not mean at all for each of us to turn into a political analyst and reader of the event; Rather, it is the exercise of mental, rhetorical, and plastic-colored activity, and the revival of worn-out aspirations that have begun to pass before images on screens displaying the ordeal and not moving anything. Silence is more difficult than the misfortunes of horrors falling on the heads of innocent people in Palestine, and it must be broken by the thought and product of the creators.
