Bassem magistrale face a la propagande israélienne

PeerTube

Bassem Khandaqji, a Palestinian prisoner who has been held for 20 years, has won the 2024 International  Prize for Arabic Fiction for his book “A Mask the Color of the Sky.”

The novel was selected from among 133 novels. This recognition is a victory for the Palestinian voice and the prisoners, who continue to write and exchange information from the revolutionary schools inside zionist prisons amidst escalated torture and repression.

Heroic prisoners such as Mahmoud Al-Aridah, Thaer Hammad, Hassan Salameh, and Abdullah Barghouti have all published books from within the prison walls: novels, reflections, historical accounts, and allegories for the struggle. Freed prisoner and leader Yahya Sinwar envisioned the future of liberation in his book “The Thorn and Carnation,” while martyred leader Walid Daqqah wrote accounts of the Battle of Jenin or the psychological war on prisoners. A popular book among prisoners is Struggle From the Darkness, which sheds light on zionist psychological tactics during arrest, interrogation, and imprisonment and how to stand steadfast against them.

The literary productions of the prisoners have been among the most prominent tools of struggle armed by the prisoners, despite all efforts by the occupation to erase the Palestinian narrative and voice.

Khandaqji (40 years old), from Nablus, was arrested in November 2004. In his last 20 years in prison, he has published two poetry collections, 250 articles, and several novels, a number of which have been translated to French.

He was subjected to a harsh interrogation, followed by a sentence of three life terms when he was 20 years old while he was a journalism and media student at Al-Najah University.

When his novel was nominated for the Booker Prize, Bassem was subjected to a failed smear campaign by zionist media. Yet, Bassem left his mark, contributing to the mountain of Palestinian literature despite his imprisonment and overcoming the challenges of publication from prison.

Resistance News Network

Mahmoud Al-Aridah—icon of resistance: Known for his wisdom, knowledge, and determination, Mahmoud is a leader with extraordinary willpower. A Saraya Al-Quds commander in Jenin, he possesses unmatched determination despite his life sentence and nearly 30 years in prison, continuing his march of resistance from his cell. In his 2017 book, "Reality and Aspirations," Mahmoud wrote, "God will not ask you why you did not win, or why you did not succeed, but why you did not try." Mahmoud instilled this characteristic determination into all prisoners he interacted with. You can be free. You will be free. Mahmoud insisted—insists—on liberation. Mahmoud led the resistance in secret in his hometown of Arraba, home of heroes like martyrs Sheikh Khader Adnan, Tariq Izz El-Din, and Abu Ali Mustafa. Even after his imprisonment, he continued to lead resistance. He studied Gilboa prison while he was in Shata prison, where he previously attempted an escape tunnel in 2014. When he got to Gilboa, Mahmoud and others decided to liberate themselves. One of the heroes of the operation dreamt months before their liberation: the Prophet Muhammed was standing in the plains of Arraba, where okra fields stretched far and wide. Many of the plants were dying. The Prophet said to harvest it, even if old. Some refused, but the hero harvested without hesitation, questioning why the others hesitated. The hero advanced forth with faith and trust in his victory, anticipating the one to come. "We will never regret the sacrifices we made for our people and rights. We chose the path of jihad and Palestine with love, belonging, loyalty, and faith because we are the rightful owners of the cause, and defending our land is a legitimate right and duty. Every day that passes in prisons strengthens us with power, faith, steadfastness, and determination to continue the path of the martyrs with our people until we are liberated from the occupation." The enemy's prestige had been broken once again, by a tunnel whose strength rivals a military arsenal.
