حين يبكي البحر... تنحني السماء

يا غزة يا موج البحر

يا ملح الحكاية

يا جرح ساكن بالضلوع

وما هان يوم بقايا

يا دارنا يا ريحة خبز

يا ضحكة وسط البلايا

يا زيتونة واقفة عَ الريح

بتقول: الأرض مش سوايا

إحنا إذا جار الزمن

ما بنبيع خطاوينا

وإن مال ميزان البشر

بنعدل موازينا

وإن ضاقت الدنيا علينا

بنوسعها بأمانينا

وإن طال ليل الليل فينا

الفجر ساكن في مآقينا

يا عالم اسمعوا الحكاية

مش حكاية موت وأنين

هاي حكاية شعب قال:

الحق ما بيموت لو طال السنين

بدنا سلام يرد الروح

لأم فقدت حنينها

بدنا أمان يفتح باب

لدار سكرت سنينها

بدنا عدل ما يعرف يميل

ولا يبيع موازينها

وحرية تمشي عَ الطريق

وما حدا يسأل: لمينها؟

بدنا وطن...

مش وطن مرسوم عَ ورق

بدنا وطن يسند خطى

اللي من التعب صاروا حرق

وطن إذا الطفل نام فيه

ما يصحى مفزوع من الفرق

وإذا الأم قالت: وين ابني؟

يجيها الجواب: هون... ما غرق

يا بحر خفف من بكاك

وخلي الموج يغني

قول للمدى: غزة هون

والحلم فيها ما تدنى

قول إن اللي عاش الوجع

لسه على درب الأمل بنى

وإن اللي حافظ عَ كرامته

ما يوم باع... ولا انحنى

يا بحر...

لو هاج موجك ألف مرة

ما بيغلب صبرنا

ولو اسودت الدنيا علينا

بنولع من فجرنا

ولو قالوا: انتهت الحكاية

بنقول: لسه عمرنا

لأن الحكاية مش حبر

الحكاية دمنا... وصبرنا

بدنا نزرع عَ طرف الدار

زيتونة تقول: هنا الأمان

ويكبر تحت ظلها طفل

لا يعرف الخوف ولا الحرمان

ويقول لأمه:

"يمّا... خلص زمن الأحزان؟"

تضحك وتقول:

"خلص يا روحي...

صار للصبح مكان."

وإذا سألتني:

من وين جاي هالأمل؟

بقولك: من قلب أم

خبّت وجعها وقالت: "يا ولدي... كمل"

من شيخ ماسك مفتاح الدار

وبيحكي للتعب: "ما رح أذل"

من شاب شايل حلمه

وإن تعثر... قام وما اختل

ومن طفل رسم شمس عَ الحيط

وقال للدنيا:

"أنا بدي أعيش... مش بس أظل."

إحنا ما بدنا نموت أبطال

إحنا بدنا نعيش أحرار

نفتح شبابيك الصبح

ونشم ريحة الدار

ونقسم الخبزة بين الجار

ونزرع حبنا عَ هالأرض

مثل الزيتون... مثل النار

ونقول للناس:

السلام مش انكسار...

السلام قوة،

والعدل ميزان،

والحرية مش شعار...

الحرية إنسان.

يا غزة...

يا صوت الموج لما يهدأ

ويا صوت البحر لما يثور

يا أم الحكاية كلها

يا وجع ما هان

ولا غاب

ولا اندثر

خلي الموج يضرب عَ الشط

ويقولها بأعلى صوت:

ما دام في القلب نبضة

ما بنخاف من الموت

وما دام في الطفل حلم

ما بنخاف من السكوت

وما دام في الأرض زيتون

ما بنخاف من القحط

ولما يطلع الفجر

من بين آخر خيط بالليل

رح تعرف الدنيا

إن الحجر ممكن ينكسر...

لكن الإنسان الأصيل

لو مال... بيرجع يميل،

ولو وقع... بيقوم،

ولو طال الليل عليه...

بيظل يحلم بالشمس

لحد ما توصل.

Ursula Le Guin on Capitalism

I think hard times are coming, when we will be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, and can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies, to other ways of being. And even imagine some real grounds for hope. We will need writers who can remember freedom: poets, visionaries— the realists of a larger reality . Right now, I think we need writers who know the difference between production of a market commodity and the practice of an art. The profit motive is often in conflict with the aims of art.  We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable; so did the divine right of kings.  … Power can be resisted and changed by human beings; resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art—the art of words. I’ve had a long career and a good one, in good company, and here, at the end of it, I really don’t want to watch American literature get sold down the river. ...  The name of our beautiful reward is ...

The Qarmatians (Al-Qaramita)

By Nadeem Mahjoub Documentary film-makers G. Troeller and M. C. Defarge once asked a cabinet minister in South Yemen, why socialistic ideas were so readily acceptable in that part of the Arab world. He replied: “Because we have been communists for a thousand years! My mother was Qarmatian.” Official Muslim scholars and clerics, and many so-called moderates (whether individuals or groups) oppose sedition ( fitna ). Tensions and contradictions in society should be solved peacefully and even if the ruler was unjust and impious, it is generally accepted he should still be obeyed, for any kind of order is better than anarchy and sedition. “The tyranny of a sultan for a hundred years causes less damage than one year’s tyranny exercised by the subjects against one another.” Revolt was justified only against a ruler who clearly went against the command of God and His prophet.” 1 Here we look at not what happened in the minds of people who call for calm, oppose dissent and preach the re...

"A second position argues against transition, which is transitology itself. It is well known—especially among economists—as the sudden mobilization of a considerable mass of experts who are generally foreigners,generally Western, who come to preach the good word and to propose ready-made models of democracy. The science of the transition has become a financial windfall, a market. And the word transition has of course become a reflex of language, a term of reference, a call for tenders ( appel d’offres ) to which the whole society was supposed to respond.  Consequently, the reticence that one can express is the following: our history is framed, transition is a heteronomy. Every democratic revolution is henceforth supposed to take a unique, imposed path, which is, at the same time, indistinctly democratic and liberal (or neoliberal). A more or less non-“negotiable” package.  It is necessary to highlight the imposed character (and imposed from the outside) of this coming to t...

Women and Sex Work in Syria, Tunisia, Morocco and the West

 A long exchange How much is the condition of syrian women changing under the new regime? The condition of Syrian women under the new transitional government following the fall of the Assad regime is changing in a highly contradictory manner, marked by  symbolic high-level appointments juxtaposed against a sharp decline in overall political representation, deteriorating legal protections, and a severe humanitarian crisis.  While the interim administration promotes an image of inclusivity, women’s rights groups and activists express deep concern over an increasingly patriarchal and conservative political environment.  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]  The transition has impacted Syrian women across several distinct areas: 📉 Declining Political Representation Marginal Parliamentary Presence : In the transitional elections, women won just  6 out of 119 seats (roughly 4%) in the new parliament. This is a severe drop from the 10% to 13% representation they held under the Assad ...

Big Tech Takeover: Authoritarian Capture

  An article subject to subscription . Read here then continue with some excerpts below. ******** Palantir is the data backbone of the authoritarian state, and Anduril is its autonomous warfare command system, turning information dominance into automated military power. Its Lattice platform connects satellite feeds, radar data and battlefield imagery into a single operational network, allowing military missions to be planned and executed at lightning speed. The company claims its systems can function at ‘level 5 autonomy’: launching, identifying targets, striking and returning without human intervention. [Starshield, SpaceX’s of Elon Musk]  When NATO’s battlefield communications depend on infrastructure controlled by one man who openly endorses European far-right parties, defence autonomy becomes theatrical fiction. Other solutions such as GovCloud, from Amazon Web Services, or Azure Government, provided by Microsoft – in partnership with OpenAI, Meta and Anthropic – are now e...

Middle Eastern Cinema

"The 20-year evolution of modern independent Middle Eastern cinema has been exciting, unpredictable, and in some cases, awe-inspiring. A few masterpieces have been made, such as Ala Eddine Slim’s  Tlamess ; Shahram Mokri's  Fish & Cat ; and Annemarie Jacir’s  Wajib . Documentary filmmaking has experienced a major leap in form (see for example the likes of Suhaib Gasmelbari's  Talking About Trees ; and Raed Andoni's  Ghost-hunting ). And film-makers have gained the confidence and experience that previous generations lacked. But foreign money and international exposure have come at a price: the subject matter of films has become repetitive; simplistic liberal politics have become mandatory; and formal experimentation has become a gimmick rather than genuine artistic expression. People tell stories partially to redress historical silences, but if the stories and the resulting images are so ubiquitous, then what’s the point? And if the message and sentim...
