Clovis Maksoud speaks about Arab Nationalism
Date: 3/9/1974Call Number: CE 380Format: 1/4 7 1/2 ipsProducers: Colin EdwardsCollection: Colin Edwards Collection
Clovis Maksoud speaks at Ramallah Hall in San Francisco. He was the Senior Editor of Al-Ahram and later the Chief Editor of Al-Nahar Weekly. He was invited to speak by the Palestinian Arab Front.
Maksoud speaks of the Palestinian revolution as not just a Palestinian struggle, but one of Arab Nationalism that has tremendous strength to contribute to the world. He differentiates between Arab Nationalism and Zionist Nationalism and how an authentic liberation movement will liberate the oppressor and the oppressed, specifically the necessity to liberate the Jewish people from the mental enslavement of Zionism. Maksoud outlines how to plan and develop a united and successful Palestinian Front, which involves avoiding disillusionment through victories and defeats, and avoid pessimistic reactions and views. He emphasizes the unity of the Palestinian people and what sicknesses to avoid so that the revolution is not inhibited from taking action by fear. The movement must avoid certain situations in order to maintain unity and cannot efficiently plan when the credibility of the front is questioned from within; it must maintain an organic unity as a priority for the internal function of democracy.
