While emphasizing the effectiveness of the language of art in the fight against the Zionist regime, Nasser Abu Sharif, the representative of the Islamic Jihad movement, announced the victory of the Palestinian nation in the unequal media battle against Israel.

ABWA Official Website – In his speech at the international conference of “Committed Art in Support of the Holy al-Quds”, Nasser Abu Sharif, the representative of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement in Iran, stated, “From the beginning of their occupation project, the Zionists used art as a weapon, to the extent that many Westerners now think that Muslims have invaded the Jews in Palestine!”

While referring to the war of narratives, Nasser Abu Sharif continued, “Despite spending hundreds of billions of dollars by Israel, and efforts going on in cyberspace to censor us, the narrative of the Palestinian people is now winning against their lies. Because Palestinian artists, like the martyr Naji Al-Ali (prominent Palestinian cartoonist), pioneered and put their capacity in the service of their nation.”

“The Palestinian Cause is still the central issue of the Islamic world,” he said, “Using the language of art is one of the effective ways to fight against the Zionist regime, and also in this regard, we are grateful to the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
