Edward Said: Imperial Continuity - Palestine, Iraq, and U.S. Policy.

A lecture by Dr. Edward W. Said:
"Imperial Continuity: Palestine, Iraq, and U.S. Policy."
University of Washington, The Walker-Ames Lecture Series -- 8 May 2003.
Edward Said, acclaimed for his literary and cultural criticism, is a sought-after commentator on Middle Eastern politics and America's foremost spokesman for the Palestinian cause. His influential book, "Orientalism," (1978), is an examination of Western perceptions of the Islamic world. His criticism extends to the United States, which he calls a dishonest broker in the peace process due to its long-standing support for apartheid Israel.

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 .

If the olive trees could remember the hands that planted them, instead of giving oil they would give tears. - Edward Said ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Compleatelly right, great thinkers like Naom chomsky, Edward Said, Howard zinn are internationalized thats why they are so great and brillant

[@PeterClarke55]

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.......

wow. what a gift of a man 💚🇵🇸

[@Levittchen4G]

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.

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

[@RitaRajaa]

what a fantastic talk...........and less than 3000 views :(

[@barryhillman3644]

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.)

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

[@sangil77]

no, we can have all three

Gil Erlich “It is part of morality not to be at home in one’s home.” - Edward Said

[@Oners82]

+Gil Erlich Not if your country keeps going down the path that it is doing and has done for nearly 70 years. With each new atrocity committed, democracy in Israel becomes more of a myth. Hopefully Israel will change and cease being the tyrant that it is today.

RIP Edward.
