Palestinian Thinker’s Marginalization
The article discusses the deterioration of the Palestinian political and cultural situation as a result of the decline of soft power, represented by intellectuals and thinkers, starting from the contemporary Palestinian revolution. This influence historically played a pivotal role in promoting the Palestinian narrative and defending the national project through figures such as writers, artists, and intellectuals. However, with the spread of social media and television channels, the impact of this soft power has diminished, as some scholars have become preoccupied with personal interests or have been influenced by Islamist groups. Meanwhile, the leadership of the organization has withdrawn support for intellectuals, leading to the marginalization of research centers and intellectual cadres, and a weakening of national institutions. It is worth noting that the new global soft power—formed through protests and international support—remains impactful over the long term, but it cannot replace the Palestinian self-generated power. In conclusion, the Palestinian national project faces vulnerabilities due to the decline of cultural and intellectual influence, especially after leadership failures to leverage this power for the cause. There is a growing call for reactivating the role of intellectuals and free thought to strengthen resilience and national identity.
