‘Use social media, boycott to highlight Palestinians plight’
“AMIDST the scenes of the criminal acts of the occupying Zionist aggression in Al-Aqsa Mosque and its courtyards, a brutal assault on worshippers, old and young, men and women, without any chivalry or humanity, and in the month of Ramadan, coinciding with the Jewish Passover and their desire to slaughter their sacrifices in Al-Aqsa Mosque,” columnist Tariq Al-Darbas wrote for Al-Anba daily.
“I stand and all the Arab and Islamic peoples stand and ask: What do the Palestinians need from us? After questioning and contemplation, we find that our role and responsibilities are great and important to support the Palestinian cause and participate in jihad through several issues.
“The first is the faith weapon through supplication to support Al-Aqsa, and it is one of the most important weapons we have. As for the second weapon, it is the media, awareness, and denunciation through social media, which has proven to be one of the most powerful weapons influencing the Zionist enemy and spreading the Palestinian cause.
“The “Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood” is one of the examples of the importance of media support, reviving this issue and introducing people to it, which stopped the displacement of Palestinians from that neighborhood.
“Support on social media is through publishing what supports the cause of information, photos and videos that move and affect the street, and hosting the Palestinians on “Live Instagram” is one of the direct means of live transmission of the cause and linking followers in it. Today, every one of us owns influential media tools that are not underestimated if we invest in them positively.
“The third weapon is the economic weapon and the boycott of companies and individuals who support the occupying Zionist enemy. An Islamic boycott of these companies will shake their positions and the effect will be the strongest.
“As for the fourth weapon, it is through raising awareness and preparing a generation that loves Al-Aqsa Mosque and believes in praying in it before death, to defend it and associate with it.
“And the last weapon is through putting pressure on the Islamic governments and returning them to the right path in severing relations with that enemy, and there are examples of some regimes that boycotted the enemy, so returning to the right path is the path of the successful.
“Finally, I pray to God Almighty, in these blessed days, to grant victory to our Mujahideen brothers in the Holy Land, to release them, and to grant us success in prayer in the liberated Al-Aqsa Mosque, God willing, and in the near future.”

“We regret that some legislators and politicians are preoccupied every year in Ramadan or otherwise with discussing the roles, heroisms and texts of artistes, and the parliamentarians preoccupied with artistic and media works and seeking to put the Kuwaiti drama on the backburner instead of encouraging and growing Kuwaiti cinema,” columnist Dr Ghadeer Mohammad Asiri wrote for Al-Qabas daily.
“They work to displace national celebrations and art exhibitions, and reject genuine appointments but support those who land in parachute to further their political interests and help those who unjustly climb the career ladder for a position that requires to be filled by qualified and experienced people; and they work to displace Kuwaitis who wish to work in commercial projects. the displacement and elimination of sports, we find voices trying to distort everything that is beautiful.
“For the third year in a row, the State of Kuwait continues to be absent from the Global Competitiveness Index 2021 issued by the International Institute for Management Development in Switzerland, which measures the competitiveness of countries through economic performance, government efficiency and the effectiveness of the business environment and infrastructure.
“For example, the international agency ‘Standard & Poor’s’ downgraded Kuwait’s credit rating due to the lack of a comprehensive financing strategy, and stated by the rating that Kuwait’s future outlook is negative, as well as the global agency ‘Fitch’ mentioned changing the future outlook from stable to negative, all of these explain the difficult situation the country is going through.
“The term underdevelopment may be harsh. It is defined by social policy references as a late state of development compared to developed countries. The growth of these countries is delayed due to several factors, including the political factor and political systems followed by countries and the cultural factor such as the division of society and the integration of politics with education affairs, as well as the economic factor such as the level of poverty, unemployment, the local government, health services, educational services, the social factor such as gender equality, women’s, human and child rights, acceptance of others and freedoms.
“Kuwait must rise to the occasion with urgent and bold solutions to limit the decline witnessed by global indicators through economic reforms and improving the level of per capita income undoubtedly advances the level of the country, and educational reform is one of the most important stages that we must start with.
“The human resource is the next investment for the state, and when investing in the culture and education of the citizen is reflected in the mind-making of the legislator, which is reflected in the laws and their development in Kuwait for the next generation. It is necessary to assimilate and analyze to save what is possible in the midst of the competition of the countries surrounding the city and to advance global indicators and liberate them from sectarian discourse.”
“In Kuwait, the concept of freedom of opinion, expression and thought is still unknown and ambiguous for many. Under this concept, many crimes have been committed. Politicians have deceived people, specifically the youth, claiming that this freedom transcends and surpasses other freedoms. Therefore, some believed that they have the right to say whatever they want in all forms and means,” columnist Bassam Al-Asousi wrote for Al-Qabas daily.
“No one should prohibit anyone from expressing his opinion, because everything he says or writes is his own point of view. However, some people have deliberately, ignorantly and blindly forgotten that a point of view is one thing and lack of manners is another thing! Indeed, many do not differentiate between freedom of opinion, insult, slander and abuse. Some are also ignorant of how to exercise this freedom and what are its limits.
“In the beginning, freedom of opinion and expression means adherence to the issue and the principle, and it requires that whoever adheres to it has an opinion, and this opinion is acceptable and subject to discussion. Freedom of opinion and expression is guaranteed, as well as the right to litigation, in accordance with Article 166 of the Constitution.
“Constitutional rights are equal. One right should not transcend another, and no article should be superior over the other. The Constitution is an integrated block of rights and duties, but the Twitter group might not like this kind of discussion.”
“After two years of restrictions due to the Corona pandemic, relief came from God through the return to normal life. This blessed month is the beginning of the return to offices, as well as the gathering of citizens to share their blessings and greetings for the blessed month,” columnist Mohammad Al-Ruwaihel wrote for Al-Jarida daily.
“The dissatisfaction of most citizens over the current situation in the political arena caught my attention during gatherings. They are not satisfied with the government or the lawmakers. They consider the government and lawmakers the main reason behind what happened and what is happening. They are wondering where they are headed and who will benefit from all this absurdity.
“The grumbling and congestion that we feel and see are not hidden, not just among the ordinary citizens. Even the ministers and parliamentarians have expressed their dissatisfaction. They keep on saying: ‘It is not in our hands … and your brother is not a hero.’
“During Ramadan and the return to normal life after Corona, we found nothing but grumbling and frustration that spread among citizens due to the performance of the government and Parliament, in addition to the absurd struggles of politicians. They are preoccupied with personal conflicts, while disregarding their national and constitutional responsibilities, as well as the problems of the homeland and citizens.”
“One of the valuable books that were written and still have great resonance is Ibn Khaldun’s Book of Lessons or Introduction to Ibn Khaldun,” columnist Dr Waleed Al-Taneeb wrote for Al-Rai daily.
“The book preceded his era in stages. The book is still being studied in many universities. Ibn Khaldun tackled many topics like History, Geography, human relations, Bedouin, civilization, the science of economics, the State and its emergence.
“He divided the State in stages – from its establishment until its fall. He started with the installation of the ruler, the ruler’s approach to the subjects and his strong connection with his people. In short, he made stages starting with the emergence of the State and ending with the collapse of the State.
“He enumerated reasons for the collapse of states, such as the continuation of a certain approach, and the failure to change that approach when a new ruler comes.”
