Subject: [snow-news] Eleven tributes to Edward Said


[From Ali Abunimah.  Eleven tributes to Edward Said, who
died yesterday.

1.  The Electronic Intifada (Ali Abunimah et al.): "An
activist who worked courageously for justice, and fearlessly
spoke truth to power. . . . Said never succumbed to
despair."
2.  Mustafa Bargouthi: "A shining light in a confused
world."
3.  Ilan Pappe:  "He so brilliantly deconstructed ? power
bases and ? sinister interests."
4.  Ahdaf Soueif:  "He believed that ordinary people, all
over the world, still cared about truth and justice."
5.  Nigel Parry:  "He has empowered a generation of people."

6.  Michael Brown:  "He has inspired thousands of people."
7.  Robert Fisk:  "He could be angry to the point of
irradiation."
8.  George Naggiar:  "[His is] a story of transcendence of
the cultural and spatial barriers that so often
thoughtlessly divide humanity."
9.  Yasser Arafat:  "He believed in free thought and its
enlightenment."
10.  The Daily Star:  "He must have died a very disappointed
man."
11.  Malise Ruthven:  "Like Adorno, he was 'the
quintessential intellectual, hating all systems, whether on
our side or theirs, with equal distaste.'"
