I think we need to restore our breath after the media bustle that accompanied the spread of the audio recording of the talk of the late Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser with the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, in a late stage of the first rule.
The hadith, as it seemed to us, was burdened with the frustrations of Abdel Nasser; As a warrior exhausted by the external wars from which zero hands came out, as well as confronting the front of the internal conflicts between the intellectual currents that dominated the scene of the events at the time, and negatively affected the cohesion of the Nasserite project, despite its national enthusiasm and aspirations to build his own model of social justice and democratic practice, which ultimately lost him, a lot of his luster in his loyalists after the departure of his leader And his spiritual father.
And when looking at the great and conflicting reactions – sometimes – towards the dialogue of the moment of serenity between a tired president and another enthusiastic, with his political projections that intersect with the course of contemporary events, it is clear to us that the Arab mind has become familiar with its crises, but rather is lazy from the rise of its societies to exercise its role as an effective change within the movement of building the present and the future. As the Arab “Anglisia”, or the educated class and the thinker, are still struggling to the moment to enforce its ideas and treatments to dismantle the crises of reality, and to liberate the Arab mind from its major “dilemma”.
And “the dilemma of the Arab mind” is not just a metaphorical expression or a passing idea repeated by those who are frustrated, but rather a pleasant and widely thoughtful description of thinkers, who often find themselves unable to liberate the mentality of the masses of the largest cultural and its deep cultural problems, and from its distorted relationship with the self and towards the other, so that the structure of Arab thought remains attributed under the weight of the continuous confrontation with its multiple contradictions.
The voice of the nation’s wise people has been alerted to the state of confusion that the Arab mind suffers from, the fluctuation between the struggle of identity and belonging, and its adherence to heritage and its aspiration to modernity. Added to this is the absence of consensus between reason and religion, between religion and the national state, between Qatari and nationalism, and between capitalism and socialism, and between East and West, to the last long list of the opposing duets that deepen the crisis of existence.
The fixed matter, with the continuing of this incurable condition without treatment, is twice – perhaps the absence of – the will responsible for establishing a project established for a stable country is managed according to the standards of civilizational progress. A country in which all components of society merge, within a serious political vision, capable of developing reality and fighting its peaceful enemy, by superior to it scientifically, cognitively and technically, as an alternative, must, for the policies of suicide resistance and the trithmical romance, which waste the capabilities of peoples in sanctifying and immortalizing the symbols, until they collide with the walls of disappointment from fragile promises.
Upon returning to the registered dialogue between the two presidents, it becomes clear that Abdel Nasser was feeling let down, and he was trying to remove the effects of aggression from his shoulders, and he addresses the auctions that launched its war on him after the defeat of June, with the slogan “Abdel Nasser .. O coward!” As if he had reached the moment of painful awareness that the option of “throwing Israel in the sea or nothing at all” is “the mother of the ties.”
According to the logic of history at the time of defeats, and because reviewing positions is more brave than the courage of the brave, he had to find a way out that ends the state of war, and accepts the options of peaceful settlement to a mutual peace, as he was considered within the Rogers initiative, whose ink dried without achieving any resulting result.
In the last chapters of the experience full of attempts and fluctuations to achieve the Arab liberation that settled in the Nasserite thought, the death of these reviews and with them was the necessity of realistic dealing with events. The defeat of 1967 opened the fire of a counter -political revolution and an attempt by international surrounding, and Abdel Nasser realized that he would pay for it, and he will be a victim of that tragic tension to change the positions towards the leader, who needed to be frankly as a finalist of the political rationality that arrived late, and lost its opportunity to resolve the historical rescue to save Nasiriyah and with it the issues of the Arab nation … until the present moment.
