Gaza hope and pain

The quarrelsome journalist Omar Kallab brought us together with many, even dozens of Jordanian professional, political, partisan, notables, and businessmen, on a special family occasion, but it went beyond that to be like a political meeting, an electoral activity, a referendum on a phenomenon, an examination of bias towards a position, Despite my political, partisan and electoral experiences, I envied my colleague for three aspects that brought together companionship and the collective party:

First: Omar Kallab’s ability to collect, and to select qualitatively pluralistically: national, regional, regional, class, from cities, rural areas, deserts, and camps.

Second: The response of this diversity of attendees to his invitation.

Third: His choice of Sheikh Talal Al-Madhi, a member of the Jordanian Senate, to be a speaker in front of the gathering, on a social and family occasion, to transform it with logic, with the axiom of the capable, broad-minded, deep-rooted Jordanian, Palestinian and Arab affiliation, without pretension or affectation, turning it into a political event that caught everyone’s attention, as if he united them despite the differences. that separate them.

What drew more attention was when the speaker, Talal al-Madi, exposed the national self to the Gaza Strip, the people of Gaza, and the families of Gaza, which aroused bias, respect, and appreciation.

Gaza, with its sacrifices, initiatives, and superiority, restored to the Palestinian people its national identity, which had been squandered since 1948, and restored to the Palestinian people its status and the respect of the Arab peoples, and even the world, with its sacrifices, steadfastness, and presence. occupation in 2005.

Gaza, created for the Palestinian people its unified representative institution: the Palestine Liberation Organization, and made it the leadership and the only legitimate representative, despite the diversity of policies and positions, and despite the geographical and spatial ruptures in its places of residence.

Gaza, which gave birth to the great leaders: Yasser Arafat, Khalil Al-Wazir, Salah Khalaf, Ahmed Yassin, Guevara Gaza, Abdullah Al-Hourani, Haidar Abdel-Shafi, Rashad Al-Shawa, and may God prolong his life, Freih Abu Madin “Abu Mustafa”, these and others are the makers of Gaza’s status and its national presence With distinction, she excels in representing the Palestinian people, for from it began the journey of struggle and restoration of rights, and from it began the decline and departure of the colony.

Gaza is now a symbol of pain, retreat, and decline, and it will remain the address. What Ibn al-Jordan, Talal al-Madhi, said about Gaza deserves appreciation in order for it to remain in the position it deserves and to regain it.
