Palestine Basil Al Araj Text Bookmark
A tribute to the revolutionary thinker and martyr, Basil al-Araj, whose words remind us that awareness itself is a form of resistance. This bookmark features one of his most profound quotes — a call to remain conscious, alert, and unyielding in the face of injustice.
Arabic:
لا تعتَدّ رؤية الصهيوني، حتى لا تألفها عينك قبل عقلك، بل افعل ما يفعله أبناء غزة حينما يشاهدون صهيونياً، يركضون باحثين عن حجر لرجمه به.
English Translation:
“Do not grow accustomed to seeing the Zionist, so that your eyes do not accept what your mind rejects. Do as the sons of Gaza do when they see a Zionist, they run to find a stone to cast at him.”
This piece honors Basil’s legacy as the intellectual of resistance, reminding us that liberation begins with consciousness, to see clearly, think critically, and refuse normalization in every form.
