Ad-Diyar: Neither the Americans nor the "Israelis" change, as long as their ideological and strategic interests lead them—even if those interests are barbaric.

Ad-Diyar: First, we must distinguish between knowledge and culture. Knowledge is the value of the sciences, while culture is the value of testing and accumulating knowledge and devoting oneself to life and civilization.
