Is there hope for the Palestinians and Palestine? Cultural-moral rules governing as a condition and conditional
Introduction: These rules, which are derived from the reality of Palestinian life, are limited to what is necessary and salvageable, and do not go to the major opposing ideologies, and a lot can be added to them.
It has been customary for the active Arab elites to entrench themselves for hundreds and hundreds of years in the front of the dispute that generates conflict, or what is called “sedition.” Those who read many references away from simplified school education discover a lot of strife. As for periods of calm, they are intermittent.
The Palestinian people do not have the luxury of squandering more time and energies and fueling more contradictions and exclusions, for the central reason that they are fighting an existential battle on the one hand and facing a camp that is incomparably larger than them on the other hand.
As for the thing on which “collusion” is taking place, it is reducing his project to the political saying, without observing the factors that draw and define politics, and (generalizing the part to the whole in what leads to error) Ibn Khaldun, as well as not linking the present to the future, if the moment is reassuring, this is the state of the coming moments, Without reading the dialectic of history, what is good today may turn into bad tomorrow.
The political statement imposed itself on the Palestinian people in connection with the Nakba and the ethnic cleansing that included two-thirds of the people in 48 and the displacement of half of the West Bank and Gaza 67. Even the most open currents that (the fighter unconsciously as if pointing his gun at his chest) the wise Dr. Habash, and linked culture to the liberation project, found themselves facing the question (Is thought a guide or a creed) and again (a theory or a half-theory) leading to the marginalization of intellectual mobilization For years, Mao Zedong's saying (If a Chinese communist came to me and spoke to me about Marxism without linking it to Chinese national characteristics, his words would be considered empty) was most evident in linking the patriot with class and nationalism and in distinguishing between national liberation with its alignments and social revolution with what it requires of alliances, characteristics, discourse and goals. And in al-Hakim's saying (strategic tactics should not be violated, nor should ideological politics be violated), although the translations were confused at some stations, affected by the internal Palestinian balance of power and the concern for the unity of M. T.F. and international alliances until they regained the slogan of liberation, return, and a radical democratic solution. Palestine is one and there is no natural barrier separating it. As for the many attempts to divide it politically and move its map, they failed two thousand years ago and what followed (Dr. Al-Khamisi, the Palestinian state). The bet has returned on the national dimension and more on the dimension The regional is linked to the unstoppable strategic shifts.
We should not underestimate the defect that many theorists touched upon (the isolation of the vanguard) from the masses, due to its impact on the political-cultural map, which changed dramatically during the Oslo period.
Based on it, the grip of the cultural-ethical values below seeks to secure a protective fence in order to enhance the cohesion of the social structure and direct the compass in the right direction. A deconstructive dynamic has gnawed at the people since the Oslo Accords, and the beginning is the next key question
1: Why have we reached what we have reached, why are our conditions in this way, whether as a people, a homeland, groups or individuals, and what is the way to strengthen the positive and overcome the negative, and are we on the right track and what are the gaps that should be repaired and bridged ... He should not sleep The mind, many questions are imposed by the reality of life and the accumulated concerns in it, and the answers are also cumulative, benefiting from the experiences of peoples. Because life is complicated, there are no simple answers, and one starts with himself.
2: Education and self-learning. Science is a sea, culture is an ocean, and the more a person’s culture expands and his knowledge expands, the more his personality becomes enriched, which helps him to face the complex difficulties and repel the hostile culture that targets his mind and identity at a time when the soft war reached unprecedented heights. And emancipatory culture protects man from despair and frustration (as it is possible to overcome a military defeat and it is possible to overcome a political defeat, but cultural defeat is something more severe) Al-Hakim d. Habash. There are many useful books, novels, films, songs, plays and artistic creations that move people from one state to another. In answer to a question by a French journalist in a long interview spanning hundreds of pages, the Vietnamese Minister of Defense replied: “The greater the responsibilities, the more time is required for self-education.” As for Guevara, he would not stop reading and writing diaries in the time of jungle and fighting, and the lights in his room would not go out except at dawn. bent on reading and more reading after the victory of the revolution) and the decisive criterion and the biggest challenge is the production of culture, not just its consumption, and taking advantage of the margin available in the social network by talented and intelligent people to promote our narrative.
And the one who scrutinizes the speeches of the brilliant leader...doesn't he notice the breadth of his knowledge, the intensity of his conclusions, and the similarity of logic in them, and that Al-Mayadeen TV does not play an enlightening and mobilizing role that exceeds the role of major countries..I don't know why a capable party does not prepare a documentary program that tracks the personality of the exceptional general, the martyr Soleimani, because of the role he plays Great transgression of nationalism, sectarianism and sectarianism. The East produced Soleimani, just as Latin America produced Che Guevara.
3: Investing time effectively, because time is life and wasting it is a waste of life, and despite the need for rest, relaxation and entertainment, the waste of time can be reduced, so many scientific researches talk about the benefits and harms of television, computers, mobile phones and social media, and the most ambitious is the one who employs his time in useful initiatives, especially in Productive initiatives and helping people.
4: Planning and improving performance, an alternative to randomness and confusion, building executive tools, non-calcification, and presenting what is superior and more innovative, (it is madness to follow the same path and expect different results) Einstein and (there is nothing more absurd than self-satisfaction) Lenin and planning calls for prioritization. Not all tasks are the same and not all preoccupations are equally important.
5: Clinging to national rights emanating from identity and history regardless of political fluctuations. The cultural goes to the absolute, but the political goes to the relative. So did the Germans abandon the unity of their country after their division in 1948? And clinging to the hope of liberating the homeland, did the Chinese abandon the liberation of their capital, which was occupied by the Mongols for a century and a half, and did the Africans give up after they were despised by the racist regime for more than three centuries?
6: Sit-in with a moral stance that rejects injustice, whatever its form, its force, and the lack of submissiveness and surrender to anyone who tries to violate human dignity, confiscate his freedom, oppress his mind, and confiscate his rights.
Didn't Nero disappear and a long convoy of emperors, tsars, and colonial invasions? Didn't colonial Britain flee America, and didn't the American ambassador flee from Saigon (currently Ho Chi Minh) after his helicopter landed on the roof of the embassy? Didn't the poor Russians overthrow the rule of the Tsars and the Iranian uprising under the rule of the Shah?
Sacrifice for the sake of major philosophical values, such as right, justice, freedom and truth. Sacrifice is a criterion of sophistication and evidence of human humanity and its liberation from fear, usurpation and humiliation (pounce on the enemy crouching in yourself) Mao Zedong, (and the harms of servility are more than the harms of confrontation) Churchill, either (hiding under a skirt Their wives) Lenin does not offer anything, in addition to respecting the heroism of the people and their heroes and learning from their exploits.
7: Respecting pluralism and not demonizing the other, as all peoples are made up of classes, strata, ideologies and choices, guaranteeing the right to political and trade union organization and various social manifestations, and giving priority to the participant in a way that secures unity of will and coexistence with differences. And it went with the thinker Garaudy to say (there is no better culture than culture, as cultures are linked to their civilized contexts) and no one has a monopoly on the truth. As for the match, it is in achievement, not in shouting.
Thus, avoiding violence in resolving internal disputes or spreading hatred that facilitates clenching the fist and pulling the trigger, and resorting to the mechanisms of dialogue, elections, the judiciary, and the right of expression. The violence of the Palestinian against himself is his description of self-destruction (the criminal who incites to fight) Al-Hakim Dr. Habash.
8: Deep conviction of citizenship. The Palestinian Basic Law is based on equality without religious or sexual discrimination. Let us look around us to see what extremist ideology and the sectarian, sectarian, ethnic, tribal and clan divisions have done.
Man is the highest value on earth, and the value of man is his work and productivity (human behavior) Hanna Mina, and his culture, knowledge and beliefs are ultimately reflected in his behavior. And the philosopher Spinoza extracted (practical moral calculation) and not in his consumerism, the luxury of his car, the influence of his family, his organization, or (what he wears on himself of titles) Lenin, even if he was a minority (so do not feel lonely on the path of truth due to the lack of those who walk in it) Ali bin Abi Talib.
9: Guevara’s initiative (the cadre takes the initiative) and not being lazy in launching more attempts and protecting the achievement and being keen on it. Without achievements, history stops, and humility and distancing from arrogance and honesty. Is there a value more important than honesty? Without honesty, relationships collapse, whatever they are, and avoid dependence (Who are you? We are The trustworthy, but you are the trustworthy) Omar bin Al-Khattab.
10: Not to stop searching for solutions to problems and overcoming difficulties, and if not through “A”, then through “B” or C. Many problems have solutions, but what is the use of running on the wrong path, like a German at the time (people should be changed, not Changing the case) Martyr Kanafani.
All of this is for the sake of people, and love for people. The first meaning of life is serving people (the essence is helping people) Mandela, and assistance is without addition and has countless forms. As for decadence, it is the exploitation of others, oppression and bullying over them, and monopolizing the benefits of the land in what (2 billion people below the poverty line) nations United States and more than half of the Palestinian people.
11: Consolidation of collectivism, whether public, sectoral, local, or institutional, as it enhances resilience and support, but exaggeration in individualism leads to atomization, weakness, and the worst diseases.
Let it be clear that the globalization of monopolies and neo-liberalism are based on individualism, striking the group, consumerism, striking productivity, erasing national identity, and giving up the state to its social role and giving free rein to monopolies and their affiliates to violate the market and people, and for this (7-8 people monopolize 70% of the international market) Chomsky And while the minimum wage in the Palestinian territories is 67, about 500 dollars, there is a class elite that owns billions without a clear commitment to its social responsibilities!
12: Acknowledgment of error, and without it rot intensifies, and admission of error reflects daring and an opportunity for correction.
Finally, if (the woman is oppressed by the oppressed), the revolutionary Bebel must remove the oppression from her, not abuse her, and release her energies to participate in building her choices. Today, women contribute to 37% of global production, approaching 20% in the Palestinian labor force, and 62% in universities. They have contributions to the struggle and the experiences of prisoners, and they are qualified (for all tasks) as Guevara.
Love for children and respect for the older generation amounts to shame, oppression of children and insulting adults. Children are the future generation, and adults are the ones who paved the path of the present, and the formation of a collective culture that reaches the point of suing those who abuse children and abuse adults. Look at what China has become in this regard.
13: Practicing sports, as sport strengthens the body and refreshes the spirit, and it is the best deterrent to disease. Is it a coincidence that all the armies of the world practice different sports?
Greening as much space as possible around the house and in the streets and prairies - the green color generates positive energy according to Buddhist belief and the discoveries of science, and nature provides us with invisible food (for children my heart - Sukhomlinsky)
Encouraging domestic tourism by visiting archaeological sites, hills and thickets. The climate of our country as part of the Levant is the most moderate and many envy us.
In conclusion, if you live, live free or die standing like trees.. Samih Shuqair.
