In comparison to his comment on samuel beckett when asked his nationality I would think that Edward would say he was a citizen of the world and not to be identified so narrowly as country or continent. That is why he was so respected.......
John Mulligan I loved it. I will continue reading to the end. Thanks for sharing. Yes , great people are few these days and not many courageous as Mr. Said.
RIP Edward Said, your contribution to the human rights and dignity of people's in all of the world, especially in the global south is absolutely invaluable. You live on in our collective consciousness.
One of the greatest minds there ever existed on the side of justice. There was a time when President Obama or the then Senator Obama used to feel Professor Said made a lot of sense.Yeah, but then at the time the president himself was for the most part on the side of justice and not the drone-hugging leader of the "free world". Besides when did zionism & justice go together? (Contd.)
A towering mind of academia. What a legend.
The incomparable Edward Said.
The man who is missed tremendously! 2003 was the year he passed away. One can see how committed he was to the humanities to the end .
This is a very intelectual speaker , I love this lecture very much .
RIP Dear Edward. Things are now many times worse.
many times 😢
MANY 😢💔🍉🕊️
Getting worse every year
If the olive trees could remember the hands that planted them, instead of
giving oil they would give
tears.

John Mulligan Thank you sir. I really can't remember many great scholars like Dr. Said to appraise them after their death.
What a great mind and person! I could literally listen to him for days.

Democracy could never work. Nor any form of organized government.

Lands, Judaism and Democracy.
Israel can have two of these, but not all three.
