Rivers and valleys of the occupied Golan

يبدو أن الأسماء التي أطلقها السكان الأصليّين على الأماكن، شكّلت شبحا يطارد المُستعمر، ويذكِّره بأنه ليس جزءا من المكان، فأصبح لديه فوبيا الأسماء، ولجأ إلى طريقة العلاج من خلال الاستئصال، التدمير وصناعة حزام من الأسماء، يحيط بخاصرتها ويتناغم مع هويتها.

Jawlan Cultural Days – 1

“Jawlan Cultural Days” is an activity by the community and for it, which aspires to celebrate its culture and arts; both are the condition of “awareness” and the field of its formation; while the song, the painting, the poem, the play, the film, the symposium, and the intellectual dialogues are its tools. An active cultural life revives the spirit in the public space, expands the scope of public freedoms, deepens critical thinking, gives social processes their positive meanings, and consolidates belonging to this land.

Settlements Research and Monitoring Program

This program was introduced in January 2022 and aimed to monitor Israeli settlements in the
occupied Golan following large-scale settlement expansion, especially since the start of the conflict
in Syria in 2011.
In June 2022, 55 years have passed since Israel occupied the Syrian Golan. The occupation forces
forcibly displaced approximately 138,000 residents into Syria and demolished their villages (341
villages, farms, and cities) to prevent them from returning, seizing their lands and properties, and
building 35 illegal settlements on its ruins. There are only five Syrian villages left in the Golan. About
28 thousand Syrians live today who suffer from the complete control of the occupation authorities
over all aspects of their economic, social, and educational life, which is based on the principle of
discrimination and marginalization.
