[adylein2]

شكرا لك ياعظيم -ياصاحب الاغنيه الملتزمه الثوريه-عشت وعاشه القضيه التي تحملها

[thedudefromthehood]

He was a communist

[MsChanale]

2 years august 2008 - 2010 but Mahmoud lives inside every peace loving man, woman and child, his poems transcend time, nations and all the divides, throuh his work Mahmoud i with us for ever. G-d bless his soul

[vivascargill]

a very great man!

[vivascargill]

if I may there is a hebrew poem for the dead el malach rachamin---it is the most soulful poem in the liturgy for the dead--it is worthy of this very great man--a patriot and a poet who we shall never see the likes of again merciful god--bear the soul of Mahmoud Darwish to paradise!

[zunu1918]

[cozmikgate]

[devilsown18]

nonnie darwesh is his daughter right?

[ritajafar]

May God Bless His sole

[matreshk]

for sure, but be careful, it is "SOUL" not "SOLE"!!! it gives a totally different meaning!! "sole" is the bottom of the shoe!!

[ritajafar]

lol. Sorry that was a typo. May god bless his soul then.

[cloudchaser07]

I am the one who carried his poetry and traveled with it to far away places. I am the one who carried his soil and longing to his mother, his Rita, his olive tree and grape vine. Would you believe me when I say to you that poets do not die, but only pretend to?  Marcel Khalife

[vivascargill]

@cloudchaser07 beautifully said!

[norabita]

he was a real palestenian i love him so much so i cried a lot (allah yerhamo 9olo amin)live palestine

[Octoberpupilla]

im crying right now i loved him

[MohammadX101]

if israelis are assassinating the Iraqi intellectuals, scientist and academics today (more than 3000 have been murdered so far)then would they allow a "PLO member" to travel to Texas for heart surgery? he would been killed during the 1st surgery if not way before. his life and profile perfectly matches those of israeli agents. his look alone is enough. he most likely was closely related to the iranian jews through his father. "palestinian" doesn't necessarily mean "arab", to the jews.

[aymqo]

ur just an idiot, Darwish is a noble palestinian family, so shuv something up ur ass and shut the fuk up.

[bmodest]

It's disheartening that so many great Palestinian figures have been passing away. I believe we're seeing the end of an era. Those who lived through the Nakba. They raised their pens and shared our grief, sense of loss, and hope with the world. Thanks to Mahmoud Darwish the rest of the world can connect with the Palestinian heart. God Bless.

[MohammadX101]

He was jewish and most likely a mossad mole. his poetry about loss of land, exile could also be about the story of the jews driven from jerusalem and in exile. those who new he was jewish (most jews usually do) would listen to his work knowing that he was not talking about the Palestinians. this is very common among jewish poets, lyricists and writers in foreign lands who do not wish to reveal their jewish identity. they use a local tragedy to sing their own songs. he looks very jewish not arab

[annapam]

mohammadx101, you're ignorance itself!

[aymqo]

i think the only jewish and mossad mole still alive is you. u sound perfectly like one, and ur just an ignorant fuk, so u saying when he said "sajjil ana 3arabi" he meant the jews aswell i guess? go kill urself u mossad mole, palestinians are smarter than u.

[aymqo]

and he perfeectly looked like a palestinian, just go to ramallah and the towns around it and they are all look like him there, and in the north of palestine they all like him, i have cousins there that all have his color and facial features, so go kill ur self u ignorant mole, and learn more about things before u talk about them. i bet u dont even know anything about the origin of the palestinian people.

[annapam]

to mohammadx101: u sound more like a Moshe from hell

[pale4ever1985]

REST in Peace... we will always remember what you have done to Palestine and the people..

long live Palestine

[lbaghyay]

God keep you in peace

[ashakra]

Between Rita and my eyes Rita's name was a feast in my mouth Rita's body was a wedding in my blood And I was lost in Rita for two years And for two years she slept on my arm And we made promises Over the most beautiful of cups And we burned in the wine of our lips And we were born again Ah, Rita! What before this rifle could have turned my eyes from yours Except a nap or two or honey-colored clouds?

[ashakra]

Between Rita and my eyes There is a rifle And whoever knows Rita Kneels and plays To the divinity in those honey-colored eyes And I kissed Rita When she was young And I remember how she approached And how my arm covered the loveliest of braids And I remember Rita The way a sparrow remembers its stream Ah, Rita Between us there are a million sparrows and images And many a rendezvous Fired at by a rifle

[bluesbegedel]

I learnt all the words and broke them up, to make a single word, Homeland.....

RIP Mahmoud...

[nombriliste]

A soul that could sing to all of us, still humans: "I will never cease embracing you. And I will never release you."

[21cdeleuze]

After Edward Said , now Darwish :( I am upset..

[abcdg69]

In memoriam Mahmoud Darwish

God keep you in peace

You have been really a great poet who felt what palestinians need

Your death is a very big loss for Palestine

What a shame that Palestinian authority needs the permission of israelis to bury him in the West Bank

[antoinecassar]

In Maltese, from his poem "The Dice Thrower":

Lill-ħajja ngħidilha:

Bil-mod, stennieni

sakemm is-sakra ta' dit-tazza tinxef.

Ma għandi l-ebda rwol f'li kont jew f'li se nkun,

hija kumbinazzjoni, u l-kumbinazzjoni bla isem.

Inċempel lit-tabib għaxar minuti qabel il-mewt:

għaxar minuti huma biżżejjed

biex tgħix b'kumbinazzjoni.

[212deiryassin]

[kamikami786]

so he went america for surgery? he wrote against 'little america' Isreal..

and he thought america would have saved him? lol he got murdered mate! killed.

[MementoExpose]

you're an asshole aren't you? first of all the guy is dead so have some respect, and second, when people like him speak against the United States they don't usually mean the American people themselves, they usually mean the government- which is hated by the majority of Americans themselves. Again, show some respect and learn some manners.

[tawfikakkad]

1st of all , Mahmoud Darwish u will always be remembered ,,

2nd Kamilkami786 , go n seek some counseling will u ?? when i have a political opinion it is all about governmental policies not about ppl, we r all humans after all ,,,,
