Resistance to normalization and cultural invasion is the focus of a symposium held by the Arab Writers Union

Damascus-Sana

The Arab Writers Union held a symposium within the series "Jerusalem to you are revolutionaries", which included discussing ways to resist the invasion and cultural normalization with the Israeli occupation entity and the need to strengthen Arab cultural attitudes and work on activating the culture of resistance and resisting normalization.

Director of Al-Quds International Foundation Dr. Khalaf Al-Muftah pointed to the means that the Israeli occupation entity tried to exploit in the gaps in the Arab arena and the resistance action of the Zionist project, stressing the need to focus on the surplus of cognitive power, which is the most important basis for confrontation.

In his turn, the head of the Syrian Arab People's Committee for Supporting the Palestinian People and Resisting the Zionist Project, Dr. Saber Falout, referred to Syria's steadfast stances, the difficulties it had faced, the steadfastness and the effects that resulted from it and its steadfastness on its positions, especially with regard to the central issue represented by Palestine.

While Dr. Hussein Jumaa, a professor of criticism at Damascus University, confirmed that the stage of cultural normalization will not end because this is not dependent on the people who are still resilient and will not move to them, indicating that political realism at the level of the Arab world is based on the principle of acceptance of the status quo and how the Zionists think about cultural normalization before Zionism and its aftermath, and the transition to modernity and beyond, to the spirit that embodies the principles of man and the values ​​he believes in.

For his part, Dr. Jaber Salman, a member of the executive office of the Arab Writers Union who directed the symposium, explained that the last stage of the region’s history, especially after the launch of the American Century Deal, witnessed an unprecedented rush by Arab regimes towards the Israeli entity and normalization with it. This normalization took its most dangerous forms when it was directed to culture and art. The education that was termed as the system of awareness and danger lies in the fact that targeting this system means striking one of the most prominent factors of the nation’s strength and eliminating the remainder of its ethical and cultural values ​​system, leading to preventing it from achieving any development or keeping up with the times.

Participating writers and writers presented interventions that focused on the need to strengthen Arab cultural attitudes and work to activate the culture of resistance and resist normalization.

The symposium was attended by the President of the Arab Writers Union, Dr. Muhammad Al-Hourani, members of the Executive Office, Dr. Muhammad Al-Buhaisi, President of the Iranian-Palestinian Friendship Association, and Dr. Sadiq Ramadhani.

It is noteworthy that the symposium is the first in a series of seminars in Jerusalem, to you Thaeron, which will be followed next Tuesday by a symposium entitled Arab Spring revolutions and their role in the attempt to destroy Arab armies.
