Jerusalem Folklore Between Development and Judaization
Taking a cursory look at a book “Jerusalemite Folklore between Development and Judaization” written by Dr. Iman Mahran, a faculty member at the Academy of Arts in Cairo, an artist and an activist in the field of human rights, Dr. Mahran sees the UNESCO Convention that supports cultural diversity as applicable to the city of Jerusalem where diverse cultural communities have coexisted in lived exchange of many aspects of life long before the occupation, adding that Jerusalem is the right city to live humanitarian peace and that it should remain a cultural heritage and property of all humanity and a capital of all religions, but certainly not a property of the zionist occupiers who have subverted and usurped the cultural and demographic composition of the city since June 1967.
In her book, Dr. Mahran reviews the manifestations robbery and destruction of the Jerusalemite Palestinian inheritance. The methods for subversion, destruction and and erasure of the Arab cultural roots of Jerusalem incude among others the continuous demolition of old homes, the arbitrary closure of whole parts of the city, of roads, shutting down of cultural foundations, charities, theatres etc, the neglect of education, imposition of arbitrary restrictions on the daily life of the population, arbitrary and unjustified increases of taxes, arbitrary confiscation of Palestinian IDs, the continuous ethnic cleansing of Palestinian neighbourhoods, forcing the peopleto leave the city and replacing them with radical and extremists colonists who come from the EU and other Western countries. What Dr. Mahran does not mention in her book is the vast illegal market and trade of drugs such as Marihuana, Heroin, DMT, Valium derivatives and Alcoholic beverages (among others) which is sustained and supplied by the israeli military as a means for the destruction of the Palestinian youth.
Dr. Mahran presents a number of recommendations in her book related to the preservation of the Jerusalemite cultural heritage, from maintaining the Arabic language in the city as the main language spoken in the city through maintaining the Arabic names of Jerusalemite neighbourhoods, streets, lanes, roads and alleys in the city, to the creation of websites in different languages about the folklore of Jerusalem and the popular definition of the arts in the city, holding a forum for academics aimed at monitoring and documenting the development of Jerusalemite folklore.
