Thirty eight years have gone past this conversation, it feels as if Dr. Edward Said is talking about today.

"They treat me as some sort of ambassador of terrorism" ... Edward Said on when he is invited for media debates. Since 1986 till 2023, it seems nothing has changed in the media discourse. Every Palestinian voice in the western media is treated exactly the same way ... "But do you condemn Hamas"

At a certain point, you will have to stop blaming the West for everything and look at yourselves: at your inability to run a democratic and egalitarian society, at your abuse of women, at your religious extremism, at your sick victim consciousness, at your lack of talent to reach peace with your Western and non-Western neighbors, at the medieval mentality and your eternal refusal to criticize yourself and your actions.

Thank you ICA for bringing up this very informative interview from the past. It is important to have us Americans view the kind of information that our corporate run society has kept from us. If we were not fed programs like professional(fake) wrestling or cartoons or dim-witted sit-coms or all of the other garbage that most Americans have consumed which helps to explain our ignorance of the world, it would be a different world -- a more humane, peaceful, and civil world.

The experiences of the Jews and Palestinians is so similar when cause and perpetrator are set aside. They have more in common than not.

If you don't understand words then don't talk about them. The translation is wrong. Zalim comes from zulm and zulm meaning not keeping things where they ought to be. In other words, not doing justice to things or ideas by keeping them where they don't deserve. Thus, idolatry and saying that there is someone else equal to God is essentially zulm. Menaing either you decrease God to the position of that idol which He doesn't deserve OR you increase the idol to the position of God which the idol and God both don't deserve. AND a person who does so is ZALIM. You have commited a logical fallacy or you have done so by purpose

I think the whole reaction to his The Satanic Verses, including the fatwa from ayatollah Khomeini, severed him from the left. It seems like large parts of the left had a hard time condemning the fatwa and supporting Rushdie (this was before I was born, so I’m not totally sure), so my guess is that the whole affair around The Satanic Verses basically made it impossible for him to remain a part of the left.
