The Palestinian Issue in the Literature of Bashir Al-Ibrahimi: From Linguistic Argumentation to Logical Inference

Abstract

The Palestinian issue has been a significant stylistic concern in the writings of Bashir Al-Ibrahimi, reflecting a profound ideological impact and cognitive perspective that allude to manifestations of belonging and entitlement to defend it. It occupied a prominent place in the preoccupations of the Muslim Scholars Association, constituting one of their primary concerns in defining the contours of identity and affiliation to achieve Arab and Islamic unity. A scrutiny of Al-Ibrahimi's prose heritage reveals a rich literary output revolving around the issue and advocating for it, refuting all false claims attempting to obfuscate the Arabs' rightful claim to Palestine and reinforcing the call for the right to defend it through his renowned argumentative style. Hence, what are the key linguistic and logical argumentation strategies he employed in his discourse? And how did the depiction of Palestine manifest in his literary works?
