memories are sweet and heartwarming, but they also bring along the regrets of loss. people usually visit relics to alleviate this feeling, they... visit the old neighborhoods, people and houses that are full of memories, but reviewing the past torments, my family, my compatriots, and me, not only can we not go back in time, but we can't go back to where our past was formed. all that is left for us are movies that open our old wounds. our house was lost in history and right in front of... of people's eyes,

i am edward said, i was born in 1935 into a christian family in this house, my father was a... successful merchant who imported stationery from egypt, not only the eldest, but he was also the only boy in the family, so i think we thought of him, his sisters a bit as - he was getting a good deal, they say. i was 10 or 11 years old when i little هذا by little realized the presence of jewish immigrants in the city. our city was experiencing a chaotic. situation in those

days, our house was not far from king david hotel, so i was terrified when that king david hotel bombing happened. jewish terrorists bombed the king david hotel in 1946. the wreckage could be seen from our house. i recall the rising sense of danger, british soldiers on the alert and use of impending war between palestinians and jewish forces. a year later, we went to cairo with all our relatives and family members. is because the situation became too difficult, that was a one-way trip with no return date. most of my family left jerusalem because they had to, our house was an area that was totally unprotected, and it was an area that fell to the hagana in, i think february of 1948, there was to my recollection there was no militia, there was no organized resistance of any sort, by the time the fighting began.

in in the latter part of 1947, it became impossible to live there, and there was a general sense of panic uh, and my family left at the end of december of 47. in cairo, my father sent me to an english language school and i found my interests in literature. my father was a wealthy man with aristocratic morals, he was proud of his us passport and asked everyone to call him william. he was very organized and cared so much about discipline. in relation to me, he was rather, he was very severe. i had four sisters, he was much more partial. to my sisters and i for him was constantly to be reformed uh and in many ways he focused on certain parts of my body, for example my back, he was very upset at the fact that didn't have a military posture, so there was a lot of my childhood was devoted to training my back, training it,

he would say, and so on and so forth, there was a lot of that, there was always my mother who of course counterbalanced it, and she she tried to spoil me. "my mother was gentle and kind woman, she took me to the best music teachers classes of that time and she motivated me to learn about music. all of the things that matter to me today, music, literature, ideas really are, i owe to my mother. i was old enough to go to university and i studied medicine for few years, but did not like my field of study. for this reason i was expelled from victoria college. in cairo in 1962, my father was disappointed with me and sent me to the united states to study. it was the same decision that my grandfather took for my father in bulgarian ottoman wars period to keep his son out of it. my father sent him, because in those days american law,

we were american citizens, american law was such that if he didn't go by a certain age, he would lose his citizenship, so my father wanted. to make sure that he kept his citizenship. i happened to be a student at the american university at the time from 60 onwards where edward's sister was a classmate of mine, so i got to know the family, i got to know her, and then in the us, i chose what i was interested in and studied english literature. i was really interested in literature and made lot of effort. finally, i got my phd from harvard university. "i wrote my doctoral dissertation on joseph conrad, about 20 or 21, i'd read literally everything he had ever written, and then of course i knew that he wasn't english and he was an outsider, and i didn't make any association with myself, although obviously he was answering to some very deep um affinity that

i felt with him. like me, joseph conrad was originally from another country and was born in poland, he traveled to many countries and finally came." to the us and wrote his famous novels in english just like me. i had a good life in the us and everything seems to be in order until the event of 1967 that came as a great shock to me and completely changed the course of my life. israel attacked the egyptian army in the sinai peninsula. so six arab states went to war with israel. the war last...

attitudes towards israel and zionism, because as the us faced defeat um in southeast asia, the victory that israel represented in defeating the arab states in 1967 was this seen as this incredibly positive sign of the west recovering its sense of purpose and its military prowers and and i first met him, he he was just an american professor, but his connection with the with the palestinian movement was after 67, and then when the war broke out in 1967, i was desolated, i was in new york at the time, and i was completely

shattered, the world as i understood it and knew it, had completely ended at that moment, and it was shortly thereafter that i began for the first time, i've been in america already for 15 or... '73 war um when israel expanded again uh he became increasingly concerned with uh the question of palestine and the situation of of palestinians and of the arab world in general. by 1970 i was completely involved, i had started to write uh in this country and i was immediately politically involved up to my net'. edward also at that time began to realize that he is damn palestinian and it's

okay to stand up for the down troden and to actually regain that ident. it was in that environment that i think because i i discovered then that i had to rethink my uh my life and my identity even though it had been so sort of sheltered and built up in this completely artificial way uh i had to rethink it from from a start. we did exactly what you expected. to do, we were just modern, we talk your language, we studied your language, and then all of sudden this society here slapped them, they said, no, you are dirty arabs, because you couldn't even war, you couldn't even fight, the whole, the whole war lasted only six days, that kind of immediate collapse of the of the of the arab armies at that time had very, very deep influence and those and they felt insulted, now after few years of a seemingly successful. life in the united states and teaching at one of america's best universities, i felt like nothing more than a

fugitive, nothing was the same as before. he said that directly, i'll never be home, when someone like edward said says, i never be home, that's something strange, but if you think, if you think like a palestinian, you will understand, the idea of being a few. fugitive is just like being affected by leprosy. you feel alone in the middle of the crowd. a fugitive can never be expelled from his homeland and can never return to it. a fugitive feels like a parasite. a fugitive is uninvited guest who has got nothing in common with his place of residence and is always considered a stranger. all palestinians feel the same sense of exile. الفلسطيني اول شيء من دون بلد هي شغله اثنين الفلسطيني غير قادر على

العوده لفلسطين يعني ثلاثه اي مكان بالنسبه للفلسطيني هو غربه يعني هو غريب باي مكان بالعالم حتى بفلسطين هو غريب لقد جئتكم يا سياده الرئيس بغصن الزيتون في يدي. i met him for a long period of time when he came to the united nations here. in november of 1974 and he had the speech that was cobled together and i was asked by him to put it

into english which he gave at the general assembly and then from then on i started to see him regularly احد الذين ترجموا خطاب ياسر عرفات الذي القاه في سنه 74 امام الامم المتحده الخطاب المشهور جدا الذي قال فيه تلك الجمله الجميله التي صاغها الشاعر الكبير محمود. liberation organization was granted observer after this famous speech, the palestine status at the un, and the palestinians were given the right to determine the fate of their inhabited territories. however, this situation did not last long. i became a...

think of when you think of an arab, somebody with towel on their head, camel and maybe some sand, want to throw a pyramid in there, well get... who's here right on our stage? this itself would not have been possible not long ago. edward said joins as professor of english colum university, member of the palestinian of the palestine national council, to which umbrella organization belongs, the plo. i spoke loudly about the reality of the palestinian problems and i even had to speak in front of pro israel

jews. i think the main point is if you want to... negotiate some kind of peace with justice, you cannot legislate in advance who's going to represent whom. the israeli position and the position of the adl is that we are not only entitled to decide what to talk about, but we're going to decide who to talk to. now the palestinians have their own representatives, and that's they've never found, nobody has found any other representatives of the palesty except the plo. after all, it was the israeli government a that dispossessed the palestinians that destroyed lebanon in 1982, killed.

palestinians are like most people, it's very hard for the palestinian who feels himself or herself to have been the victim of injustice by jews, israeli jews, to sympathize or imaginatively incorporate the history of the holocaust and say, well, we forgive them for what they did. i mean, after all, they suffered this enormous, this, this... colossal historical tragedy the jews did, and the fact that they are evicting us from our territory, that they are placing us under occupation, they're treating - third class citizens, that they are killing our people, that they are confining us to camps, etc. etc. we understand, look, i would, nobody can understand that, mean, you can, you can grasp

the first fact, the fact of the holocaust, but you can't translate that into your own, do... "my mind has always been busy with this question: what is the reason behind the occupation of palestine and the western support for the occupier? in my opinion, this issue is rooted in the way the west looks at the east, and the palestinian cause emerges in this point of view. this war between peoples, a war which has been fought for generations, and which concerns the whole world, is, i believe, inextricably entangled with the fantasy. dreams and ambitions of the west to rule and possess the east. there's also a question of how zionism conceives arabs and it has become current for arabs to call zionism a racial, racist ideology. now what patrick seal is the basis of that charge? well, i know it's a charge which

created outrage when it was first raised, i think they try to dubyanism as racist thing, but you see unfortunately. "i think there is something in it, i mean, much as one hates to say so, but if you you just look at some of the statements say of a man like like begin, i mean, he's always ranting about jewish blood and how precious it is, with the implication of course that arab blood is much less precious, he says things like palestinians are animals walking on two pores, or you remember his chief of staff at the time, raful etan talked about palestinians being cockroaches in a bottle, it is the default option of europeans that the perfect and normal man is the'.

ویتنامی دارید اصلاً اسم طرح این بود که دهکده ها چون ممکنه پناهگاه ویتکونگ ها یعنی جبهه آزادی بخشی ویتنام باشه باید از سفر روزگار محو بشه گفتن خب اینجا انسان های بی گناهی کشته میشن جمله مشهوری داره گفت جان آسیایی ارزش جان انسان رو نداره آسیایی he talks about blood libel against the jews of course is famous phrase at the time of. he would say he said if goyim kill goyim what concern is it of ours? now that it seems to me is absolutely racial remark. in another way, i'd like to reformulate and say that had there been in the united states for example, immigration laws which said that only white anglo-saxon protestants can immigrate and get citizenship, then you as a jew and as a

palestinian would object. now the same law, inverse formulation of the same law, it says that only a jew can emigrate to israel, whereas a palestinian who is born there and... شاخص ادواد سعید به اسمینالیزم چاپ میشه.
