هل يمكن أن نلوم العرب على تعلقهم بالماضي إذا كان كل ما نسمعه في نشرات الأخبار منذ أكثر من عقدين من الزمان دائماً يبدأ أو ينتهي بعبارة: "الأوضاع (الراهنة ) في المنطقة " حيث لا يبدو أن الحروب وتداعياتها ستتغير من كونها حالةً مستمرة وحاضراً لا ينتهي.
فينا نعتبرها #إضاءة_لغوية
“فالنكبة الفلسطينية ليست ماضياً نتذكره، و إنما هي الكلمة التي تلخّص الحياة تحت الاحتلال و في مخيمات اللاجئين الفلسطينين في فلسطين و الشتات العربيّ المجاور."

even our monstrous anxiety sleeps peacefully as a gentle cloud.
and there you find it, an isolation so warm, as if you have just arrived home from a long journey
in a sleepless night that you wish to last, in an isolated world of your own ...
(Thoughts of a sleepless night)
Like a lost boat, the moon sails back and forth in an eternal ocean of night,
dreaming of a harbour in an open window or sleepless eyes.
Inside a small room an other world expands,
Outside the closed doors the real world shrinks,
حتى لو وُلدتَ بعيداً، تعود إلى مطرح في كل مرة كأنك عائدٌ إلى مهدٍ تحت جبلٍ قديم و البحر يغسل عينيك من رمد الحياة.
لن تخرج من مطرح كما دخلت إليها أبداً، فناك شيءٌ يستحيل تفسيره و أنت تجول بين حاراتها الضيقة، كما لو أنك تخطو على طرقات الطفولة الأولى نحو انبعاثٍ جديد..
The Israeli Knesset just banned UNRWA, an absolutely critical agency for getting humanitarian aid into Gaza, because "UNRWA equals Hamas".
In addition to everything else this genocide has been, it's been a colossal insult to our intelligence. UNRWA is Hamas. Hospitals are Hamas. Journalists are Hamas. Civilian infrastructure is Hamas. Ambulances, schools and mosques are Hamas. The women and babies �� okay maybe they're not TECHNICALLY Hamas, but Hamas is definitely hiding behind them and using them as human shields.
We are asked to believe self-evidently idiotic things, and if we don't we get called Nazi Jew-haters. We are being asked to turn ourselves into empty-headed morons to advance the information interests of a foreign state that's allied with our government. Stupidity is being framed as a sign of patriotism. Gullibility is being framed as a sign of rejecting antisemitism. In this morally bankrupt and perverse civilization, the noblest thing you can be is a blithering imbecile.
After reading this article I think you would reconsider phrases like “terrorism” or “disputed territory”which is actually occupied lands or describing the expulsion of original inhabitants of a land as “liberating”!

Recently I came across the concept of “ Manufacture of Consent” which refers to the act of deliberately crafting language by colonial and imperial powers to justify their actions and win the public support,therefore creating some sort of acceptance.
There is no better example of this concept than what we are witnessing today in the western media that is constantly justifying war crimes and atrocities using euphemism.
There are numerous journalists working for US media outlets who have served in the Israeli military, worked for Israeli intelligence, been Israeli prison guards. This should be disclosed on every single article they write about Israel’s war against the Palestinians of Gaza.
because describing the situation in a less negative way can’t match the reality, and if this reality is beyond our words and comprehension then we either need to change the reality or invent a new language that can fit all this brutality!
We thought we have seen all the horrible and awful things in this world, and that evil might have limits!
But I don’t think humanity has witnessed this level of atrocity and cruelty, not even in the darkest ages, as we have seen in our “modern and civilized age”!
Modern!? there is nothing modern about our current age except for the methods and weapons that are used in killing human beings and causing destruction!
So believe anyone who would say that this is beyond description!
