Bisan holds a webinar entitled Truth and Power
Bisan Center held a webinar entitled "Truth and Power" on Saturday, October 18, 2025, which discussed the dialectic of truth and power as one of the most important philosophical dichotomies in human history.
The webinar included four speakers: Professor Hasan Ladadwa, a lecturer at Birzeit University, who clarified the relationship between truth and power; Professor Hani al-Masri, director of Masarat Center, who reviewed the Palestinian reality and its most important challenges and opportunities; Dr. Hanida Ghanem, director of the Madar Center, who addressed the Israeli reality; and journalist Ahmed Biqawi, who spoke about the role of media in interpreting reality and shaping our understanding of it.
The webinar demonstrated that every authority, whether political, economic, or social, attempts to present a truth that suits its purposes and attacks ideas and facts that undermine it. In other words, every authority produces and reproduces a truth that reinforces its existence.
The focus was also on the ongoing Palestinian debate as an important entry point for analyzing the reality and the prevailing discourse, especially two years after the genocide in the Gaza Strip, and the expansion of settlement, annexation and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank and Jerusalem, at a time when the Israeli occupation state is suffering from fundamental challenges, the most important of which is its growing international isolation, and its failure to resolve the issue of the Palestinian political and material existence despite its going to commit the crime of genocide against the Palestinian people.
