"As for us, we who are brothers, comrades, and followers of these martyrs, these martyrs must always remain present in our minds, in our thoughts, in our hearts, in our will, in our consciousness, in our thought, in our culture, in our literature, and in our discourse.
Therefore, their images, names, experiences, and memories must remain."
Today, on the 7th anniversary of the martyrdom of the revolutionary intellectual martyr Basil Al-Araj, we will let his works speak to you. Basil, who taught us, "Resistance begins with you. Shatter the walls surrounding your mind," who showed us that there is no use for intellectualism without resistance.
The martyr Basil said of Yahya Ayyash, whose birthday falls on the anniversary of his martyrdom: "Weapons are the adornment of men, but you, Yahya, are the adornment of weapons." He said, "The opportunity is very good to create a new Yahya Ayyash in the West Bank...and in this, let the competitors compete."
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said of him, "The path of Basil Al-Araj is the only way to liberate Al-Quds."
Basil inspires, teaches, and gives even after his martyrdom. In the next several posts, we will be sharing a collection of posts from RNN and elsewhere in honor of the resisting, clashing, revolutionary intellectual.

"Yes, we are victims, but there is a difference between one who instills the victim's revenge against their tormentor, one who evokes the wounded memory to be a revolutionary tide for them, and one who wants to be a victim to prove that they are not a threat."

"Why do we resist an enemy stronger than us?
"Analyzing the conflict between us and the enemy, it is purely an existential struggle for sure. If I don't die now, effectively, the enemy seeks to annihilate me. So, if they don't kill me quickly or very quickly, in the end, I am in the process of being annihilated.
"The idea of resisting this enemy, who might be capable of annihilating me, and most likely, in abstract terms and power calculations, yes, is capable of annihilation [genocide]. However, the idea is to refuse to be easily annihilated. At least, if you can't prevent them from annihilating you, don't let them do it with joy or easily.
"The second idea is existential: I can live while sitting in my home, living and taking care of myself and my family, my wife, my mother, and my father...
"But then we pose the existential question, why am I alive? What is the meaning of this life without dignity, without the ability to hold my head high?
"The concepts of honor, pride, and dignity have a very significant role, how much we can deconstruct them or not, I think it's difficult; because it's something that clings to the soul more than it clings to material factors."

On the fourth anniversary of his martyrdom, Basil's father spoke of his legacy, showcasing his son's possessions in their Walaja home.
His father smiles while showing the shoe Basil wore until his final breath while resisting the occupation. "Nothing but this shoe defended him."
"His shoe reminds me that he fought alone...His shoe remained with him until the end."
He shows some of Basil's prized possessions: a tile from martyr Ghassan Kanafani's home in Haifa, a tile from Leila Khaled's home in Haifa, and his handwritten will, written in his final moments.
"When you miss Basil, what do you do?"
"I always miss Basil. Today, we can see his videos. I don't search for them; they are always present on Facebook, healing my soul."
Is Basil alive?
"After his martyrdom, I know of about 17 children named after Basil."
The martyr never dies. Rather, they live in our sprit and every moment of our struggle.

Resistance begins with you. Shatter the walls surrounding your mind.
"Liberate your mind before the land," in the words of the revolutionary intellectual martyr Basil Al-Araj.
Basil calls on us to challenge to perceived invincibility of oppressive forces: their power comes not from their weapons, but from our own minds.
"Start with yourself." Take direct action to challenge oppression, as Basil did. Recognize your own capacity to create change. It is a battle to reclaim minds, dignity, and land.
Khaled Odetalah, in mourning Basil, said: "Basil did not call on us to be resistance fighters. Nor did he call on us to be revolutionaries. Basil told us to be true; that is all. If you are true, you will be revolutionaries and resistance fighters."

🚩 Glory to the educated and resistant rifle. The words of the Lions' Den echo the words of the revolutionary intellectual Basil Al-Araj, and the words of countless martyrs.
"You want to be an intellectual? Then you must resist. Otherwise you and your education are useless." - the martyr Basil Al-Araj
"The fighter who is not politically conscious, it is as if they are pointing the barrel at their chest" - Al-Hakim George Habash
"The gun that has neither science nor culture behind it kills but does not liberate." - the martyr Ahmed Al-Jabari, Abu Mohammed
"Struggle from the Darkness,” pictured here, was the last book read by martyred resistance fighter Ashraf Na'awla, who evaded capture by zionist forces for two months after a successful operation that killed two settlers. It is a book widely read in the zionist prisons.
Glory, all glory to the conscious fighter!
