And by divine
order, PALESTINE
has been the chosen land to become the Wellspring
of Faith, from which the prophets, Messengers of God,
set out to bring the entire world the Divine Message
in its three stages:
1.
The Jewish Faith, through the Holy Prophet Moses.
2. The Christian
Faith, through the Prophet Our Holy Lord Jesus Christ.
3. The Muslim
Faith, the last stage, through the Prophet Mohammed.
Thus,
Jerusalem, the capital of Palestine, became the birthplace
of a culture and of human principles and values, and
the Palestinians became bearers of this Faith and
this culture to all the world.
Since
1948, despite the tragedy of the Palestinian people
resulting from the Zionist occupation, with the participation
of the treacherous British colonialism and the Soviet
Union, which thought that the State would be Socialist
and Communist and become a Soviet stronghold in the
Middle East; and despite the blessing of American
imperialism to crush the revolutionary movements that
were calling for the independence, freedom and democracy
of the Arab world; despite all the difficulties and
the lack of resources, we set out to complete our
university studies and hone the best weapon of all:
Hope and Faith.
We
have had the great fortune to come to SPAIN - CATALONIA
- where we were able to continue our studies thanks
to the warm welcome, hospitality and aid of the Catalan
people, who gave us their affection and jobs needed
to finance our studies.
So
we spent long years in the faculties of Medicine,
Law, Economics, Business, Architecture and Pharmacy,
and we had the great fortune to fall in love with
beautiful Catalan women, marrying and forming families
that have borne our best fruit - our children, true
Catalan-Palestinians, and we have become true Palestinian-Catalans.
And since gratefulness is the province of the well-bred,
we have decided to set up this Association in order
to enrich our lives and get to know each other even
better.
We
believe that culture always joins peoples together,
and religion often tears them asunder. We are a group
of over two thousand Catalan-Palestinian intellectuals
who wish to spread our culture to all peoples of the
world, and especially to those who are seeking liberty
and democracy, and who advocate human rights without
consideration to politics, race or creed.
We
work together against Dictatorships, Fascism and Racism.
Join us!
