“…In the same study, the MIC of EDTA was 0.14%; however, EDTA did not exhibit bactericidal activity. Further studies are needed to fully comprehend the mechanism of action of IP6 against endodontic pathogens (Nassar and Nassar, 2017). In general, the antimicrobial effect of IP6 has not been widely studied.…”

Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) is the most abundant inositol phosphate in nature and an essential molecule for different biological functions. IP6 has a unique structure granting it distinctive properties; a high negative charge density provides IP6 with an immense chelating ability and valuable antioxidant properties. IP6 is also simple and cost-effective to produce. These features have attracted researchers and entrepreneurs to further study IP6 for a wide variety of applications in areas such as pharmaceutical, food and chemical industries, medicine, pharmacy, nutrition, and dentistry. The interest in IP6 in the dental field unfolded many decades ago following identification of a cariostatic ability and a positive impact on reducing enamel dissolution. Subsequently, IP6’s anti-plaque, anti-calculus and cement-forming properties have been investigated. Despite encouraging findings, there was a phase of decreased attention to IP6 which slowed down research progress. However, the potential use of IP6 has recently been revisited through several publications that provided deeper understanding into its mechanisms of action in the aforementioned applications. Studies have also explored new applications in endodontics, adhesive, preventive and regenerative dentistry, and IP6’s role in improving the characteristics and performance of dental materials. Evidence of the merits of IP6 in dentistry is now substantial, and this narrative review presents and discusses the different applications proposed in the literature and gives insights of future use of IP6 in the fields of orthodontics, implant and pediatric dentistry.

“…They identified more openly with Arab decolonization movements, especially the pan-Arab (qawmi) nationalist expressions of Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser, and they argued that for Palestinians inside the Green Line to be truly free, they needed to be part of a pan-Arab, Nasser-led, unified formation. 5 Given the Israeli leadership's fears of Arab nationalism, Palestinian activists in Israel who expressed such viewpoints had much less political room in which to maneuver. Israeli government and establishment figures claimed that by openly siding with Israel's enemies, those activists posed an existential threat to the state.…”

“…Leaders of the Ard group were unabashedly Nasserist and pan-Arab nationalist, as demonstrated in their series of wildly popular single-issue papers, issued between October 1959 and January 1960, that lauded Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser and stressed their desire for pan-Arab unity. 6 The communists opposed both these positions, arguing that the best way forward was to bring Jewish Israelis around to the belief that they could abandon certain elements of Jewish privilege while maintaining Israel as a Jewish state. The communists did not attack the nationalists directly, given the strong popular support they enjoyed, but the ICP leadership quietly seethed at the nationalists, believing that they undermined the communists' attempts to reassure Jewish Israelis that allowing for equality with Palestinians would not pose an existential threat to the state.…”

In 1964 Ard leaders applied for formal state recognition as an association-a request that inherently signaled their recognition of the Israeli state.…”

“…Composing and publishing such poems were themselves acts of resistance given the Israeli state's censorship as well as its active sponsorship of apolitical, romantic poetry. 8 With large-scale protests constrained by the military regime, local poetry festivals emerged as an especially popular site in which Palestinians in Israel spread these decolonizing pluralist discourses. Poems, like those declaimed by Darwish and al-Qasim celebrating revolutionary victories in Algeria, Iraq, and beyond, helped develop "geographies of liberation" 9 that connected Palestinians in Israel to other peoples around the world who were struggling for freedom against colonial and imperial rule.…”

In July 1958, then-seventeen-year-old Mahmoud Darwish and nineteen-year-old Samih al-Qasim participated in an Arabic poetry festival in Acre, where hundreds of residents had gathered in the town square and on surrounding rooftops to listen to them and other local poets recite from their work. For Palestinians living under Israeli military rule (1948-66), poetry festivals offered one of the few-albeit limited-outlets for oppositional political expression. Darwish's piece, "Martyr," was dedicated "to every martyr in every battle for freedom," while al-Qasim's poem expressed his admiration for the Algerian people in their anticolonial struggle against French rule. 1 These poems were not atypical: decolonization was a major theme in much of the Palestinian poetry produced in Israel during this period, particularly among the generation of poets who grew up as a minoritized community under Israeli rule. Settler colonialism has achieved scholarly prominence as an analytical lens through which to understand Palestinian-Israeli relations. However, as Rana Barakat notes, its utility for comprehending Palestinian history is quite limited because of its emphasis on the actions of the settlers rather than of those resisting them. 2 In addition, Palestinian citizens of Israel have had to contend with what Shira Robinson calls a "liberal settler state" that incorporates elements of both settler colonial rule and liberal democracy, further complicating the settler colonial paradigm. 3 This is not to say that discussions of settler colonialism in the Palestinian context are irrelevant, but rather that more attention needs to be paid to the perspectives and agency of Palestinians themselves. In this essay I show how Palestinian intellectuals and political activists in Israel have long adopted decolonization as both a conceptual tool and a political framework to resist their minoritization and sectarianization within the state and to articulate an alternative vision of pluralism that connected them to communities around the world struggling for freedom. In doing so, I argue that cultural production-especially poetry-is a key source for helping scholars understand how minoritized communities have reimagined pluralist spaces within and beyond the nation-state, especially in cases where oppositional political actions are constrained. The minoritization of the Palestinians in Israel emerged out of early debates among state officials about how to treat the approximately 160,000 Palestinians who remained within the 1949 Armistice Lines, as well as the tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians who were trying to return to their homes and lands within the newly declared State of Israel. Facing international pressure to repatriate the refugees, yet seeking to minimize the number of non-Jews in the state, state officials developed a series of administrative measures to determine which Palestinians would be allowed to remain and which would not. Yet even after most of the Palestinians remaining in Israel were granted citizenship in 1952, th...
