The Urgency of a New Beginning in Palestine: An Imagined Scenario by Mahmoud Darwish and Hannah Arendt

The article assumes that the Zionist movement entangle the Palestinian and the Jewish in a tragic conflict (hole), that cannot be overcome with conventional national tools, instead this article suggest to use the poetic illuminations of Palestinians poet Mahmoud Darwish and the critical writing and reflections of Jewish philosopher Hanna Arendt in order to open the option of "new beginning." For this the article suggest to displace the gaze from the "present enmity partnership" into the "past multiplicity partnership." Historically, Palestine was a home of different civilizations, cultures and religious, and it includes in its past the traces of different groups, in this context it cannot be reduced to one "phase" of history, nor to one ownership. In contrast, it's a mosaic of historical moments an phases, flowing in its past and stand in contrast to the Zionist idea of Jewish exclusive ownership of the country as well as the Islamic idea of waqf differentiation that constitute continuity, in contrast to homogeneity and monopoly, in Darwish's word.
