Palestinians gave their national poet Mahmoud Darwish the equivalent of a state funeral in the West Bank city of Ramallah on Wednesday, attended by Palestinian dignitaries and family members who mourned the man who fought for the the Palestinian cause in words. Darwish died in Houston Texas last Saturday after undergoing heart surgery. Darwish a man whose work focussed on the plight of the  Palestinian people  refused to accept the Oslo Accords. In 1988 he wrote the official Palestinian declaration of independence and served on the executive committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) until 1993, when he resigned in protest of the Oslo Accords. 08/13/08

  • @vilhammer44 this is half truth half bulshit!! Arab governments betray the Palestinian people do you REALLY think the Algerian people do not empathize with Palestine. No history? You've got your head up your ass1

  • breaks my heart Bless Darwish!

  • free palestine..........death to zionism!!!!! zionism is the tumour of the world

  • RIP Mahmoud Darwish

  • I knew a Jew who got a heart transplant from a Palestinian. He recovered quite well but every time he looks in the mirror he can't stop throwing rocks at himself! National Poet? Palestinians are not a nationality or even a unique race. They have no history as such. They were 'invented' as a nationality by Arabs after 1967. Even most other Arabs greatly dislike them. Israel would be glad to offer Olmert as a Palestinian PM!

  • What a wonderful loss. This is a great time for a party. The more Palestinians with blood on their hands the bigger the party should be. Good riddens to bad rubbish. Joy to the world.

  • The Palestinian flag will rise over Jerusalem soon!

  • Free Israel from Arabs!
