| Sumario: | This article proposes that the colonization process Israel is carrying out on Palestineis a narrative process ra ther than a territorial one. We analyze, on one hand, the influence of narratives to condition the way we see reality and we focus specifically on the Israeli program called Hasbará, a sophisticated policy of censorship and propaganda that uses resources such as the over exposure of information on social networks and media to install narratives favorable to Israel, for example, the one which states that Israel is people in “defense” against the threat of “terrorism.”. In thatway, we will explore the characteristic sof Zionist narratives and their historical success in generating an emotional impact on a large part of the world's population, which, in turn, prevents strong actions to stop the genocide in Gaza.
On the other hand, we will present the place of libraries as places of memory and palestinian resistance, the fierce defense of their identity, their struggle to occupy a place in history defending what remains of their archives and libraries and the zionistef forts to eliminate them, in an attempt to over shadow the expansion of palestinian resistance stories and there by justify the occupation of more than 75 years, this complementing its narrative war strategy, which, in addition to positioning its versions, destroys any attempt for its counter part to build strong stories and preserve its memory.
In conclusion, we raise two interrelated problems: the abstract notion that global problems are in her ent to humanity and the manipulation of narratives by dominant powers. We propose, then, to review the influence of West narratives on the people colonized by it, and the need of exploring other perspectives, such as those of Nuestramérica. Further more, we high light the importance of libraries as spaces to question, understand and transform reality, as settings to expose one self to the diversity of stories and develop the ability to reinterpret them, two fundamental issues for a deeper understanding of the world and to motivate one selft o under take transformative actions. |
