A review of the think tank session titled “Explaining the Rationale for Supporting Palestine Through the Lens of Religious Rationality,” held at KHANA with the presence of religious scholars, intellectuals, and cultural activists
Ansari, professor of seminary and university:
➖ Palestine is “the foremost issue of the Islamic world”—not merely from an emotional standpoint, but based on jurisprudential, doctrinal, and strategic foundations.
➖ The usurpation of the Muslims’ first Qibla and the unprecedented oppression of the Palestinian people justify this prioritization.
Attari, CEO of Bonyad-e Tosse’e Farda (BTF) Institute:
➖ A civilizational view of the Palestine issue includes four layers: principles, beliefs, institution-building, and action.
➖ The Islamic Republic of Iran offers a civilizational response to this crisis.
Ebrahimi, head of content at the Palestine Campaign, Owj Organization:
➖ The Palestinian issue must be analyzed through six approaches—from opposition to Zionism to a security-oriented perspective.
➖ The lack of rapid response from think tanks to emerging doubts represents a serious gap in the narrative war.
Arab, Quranic studies researcher:
➖ Theology of jihad, enmity with Zionism, establishment of justice, and its connection to the concept of reappearance are the religious pillars of supporting Palestine.
Ziaei, analyst at the Loqman Think Tank:
➖ We need precise analytical and doctrinal responses to crises and ideological challenges.
➖ Rapid transfer of research findings to the media, education, and public institutions is essential.
Ertezaei, from Jaryan University:
➖ Analysis of cultural and civilizational behaviors must align with crisis-prone situations.
➖ We must not approach social doubts with delay or superficiality.
Hejri, head of the socio-cultural group at Hekmat Think Tank:
➖ Convincing the new generation requires a sincere, benevolent approach that speaks their language.
➖ The Palestinian issue needs deep narrative-building rooted in practical wisdom.
Safifar, member of the Sarv Think Hub:
➖ The human tragedies in Palestine have long-term psychological impacts, including trauma and PTSD.
➖ The mental health of the global community is also affected by these events.
Kazempour, secretary of the People’s Economy Defenders Festival:
➖ Effective content production must be based on accurate audience analysis. People seek simple, honest, and deep analysis.
Mohsenian, media director at Islamic Parliament research of the Islamic Republic of Iran:
➖ A five-year development plan for a free Palestine has been drafted; media leadership is key in this process.
Bahmanabadi, analyst at the Saba Think Tank:
➖ Attracting Palestinian elites and avoiding linking all ideals solely to the concept of reappearance are among the key forward strategies.
Ebrahimpour, secretary of Gharargah Jihad Tabiin:
➖ Four strategic arenas for clarification: schools, universities, religious gatherings, and media.
➖ The resistance ideology must evolve into a global discourse.
