غســان كنفـــاني






Today marks the 33rd anniversary for the assasination of Ghassan Kanafani

The first novel I read for him was " رجال في الشمس "
"Rejal fel shams"

and in the end I came by this question:
" لماذا لم يقرعوا جدران الخزان ؟؟"

Just trying to answer it made me think of the misery the Palestenians are going through.

They killed him because he wrote against them, because he said the truth ... you can tell they are afraid of writers just as they are afraid of guns.

His words were his weapon.

God bless his soul.

I feel so depressed whenever i see any of ali's cartoons, he's so deep and one cartoon can make you cry, i might even name my child 7anthala.
if it's not too personal why did ur parents prevent you from seeing his cartoons?
