At 74 as an educated American I feel so ignorant. I knew so little about the Palestinians cause. I had lock stepped walked along with complete sympathy for Israel never understanding the plight of Palestine. I don’t think I truly understand yet but I feel like from this video I have had a glimpse into a world I did not know. Now I have a hunger to understand and know more. Thank you.

[@noodlelicious.]

An ordinary man with an extraordinary mind. His work is timeless and a symbol of resistance against the occupation and tyranny. He was simply brave enough to speak what's obvious.. Amazing.

[@maisarah961]

Yes :’) He was a really special man. A gift to us all really. He surprises me all the time, even after having read him for so many years.. I still catch myself hyperventilating (oftentimes pausing to stare at a specific sentence or paragraph with my jaw slightly hung) in between pages. What a divine revelation he was to the displaced, oppressed, and marginalised! Inspiring and invigorating to say the least! :’)

Said's pen was very influential. I have read Orientalism and have written a short summary of it in Somali language.

that's how it should be. you learn something through a foreign language and you talk about it to your people in their language.

[@davidanderson9664]

Said was great, I admit. I did a degree in Middle East politics in Australia (many Somali immigrants now) and Wash. DC in the early 1990s and traveled extensively in the Arab world. Sadly not to Somalia.... yet. :-) Dear MMM - would you ever consider writing a short summary of Prof. Dawkin's book "The God Delusion"? I don't think there's one in Somali and our friends there could be helped by it a LOT I feel. Respectfully, D.A., J.D. NYC

[@jo-annerichardson34]

Thank you so much for this doc about Edward Said's life. His book Orientalism was the main source in the Peace Studies course i took at university in the 90's focusing on 'the other'. I was saddened by his death but knowledge he so eloquently put out there is an invaluable source especially today with the horrific genocide we are all witnessing of a people under apartheid. His books need to be read, especially in the West and should be required reading for anyone who goes in to foreign policy positions with power to make decisions that affect those in these terrible situations, especially the Palestinians..

[@dorandacolbert5973]

Professor Edward Said never actually lived in Palestine! He is from Cairo. His father, Wadi was Palestinian but had emigrated to Cairo in 1920. At least nine years prior to his son’s birth in 1935, Wadie Said was already residing permanently in Cairo, Egypt…according to the 1926 French edition of the Egyptian Directory….It was to Cairo that Edward Said’s mother Hilda (Musa), of Lebanese origin, moved upon marrying his father in 1932, and it was in Cairo that the nuclear family continued to reside over the ensuing decades.

[@johntravena119]

Once read an insightful review Said wrote of a biography on Glenn Gould. He seemed to be a keen fan of his playing. It would seem Said’s influence wasn’t limited to his deeper calling.

[@voraciousreader3341]

Yes, Edward Said was deeply connected to music of traditional Arabic and Western classical music. Do you know who Daniel Barenboim is?? I cannot possibly explain him, and must speak of his career in the past tense because he’s very ill and no longer creating music on stage, but he was one of the most influential conductors and pianists of the 20th century, an unbelievable prodigy in his youth, articulate in 8 languages, a Jew born in Argentina. Barenboim is also an intellectual, but he and Edward Said met because of music, and became very good friends through their discussions on the Israeli-Palestinian divide, which resulted in the famous West-Eastern Divan Orchestra for Israeli and Arab teenaged musicians. Barenboim’s ideas about Palestine have made him a pariah in many Israeli circles, but he’s never backed down on anything, as is true of Dr. Said.

It is a shame he never met and talked to Musa Alami whose book on his life "Palestine is my Country" was written by Sir Geoffrey Furlonge. He came from a very prominent Palestinian family and went into politics. He set up the Arab Development Society in the West Bank with a school for Palestinian refugees who he rescued and gave schooling and a means of earning their living on the farm.

[@azads.t8633]

From the late Yasin until today! We have been crying for many years over the massacre of Diriasin and Kafrqasem. 100 to 200 Palestinians were massacred in Diriyasin and 48 in Kafr Qasim. Compared to today's war, these numbers are not huge! Is humanity moving forward or backward in terms of cruelty and violence? Weapons are becoming more destructive day by day and human lives are losing more and more value. Is this the result of Nietzsche's famous statement about God? Or is the debate still about what kind of worship of God is, contrary to Nietzsche's view, life? Or that selfish people have hidden God in the basement of their minds and, by claiming God for themselves, are taking the human race to the slaughterhouse? Or does the story have nothing to do with God? Murder and brutality have always challenged optimism about the nature of humanity. A new type of pessimism is emerging with regard to human nature. In my opinion, pessimism towards human nature can make the world more tolerable, because it lowers the level of expectations towards it! Expecting mercy, compassion, fairness, justice and morality from him over all his fellow human beings apparently seems more like stupidity and how stupid God has made me!
