“The Palestinian cause is not a cause for Palestinians only, but a cause for every revolutionary... as a cause of the exploited and oppressed masses in our era” -Ghassan Kanafani

On this day, we observe the anniversary of the martyrdom of Palestinian revolutionary writer and critic, Ghassan Kanafani. Kanafani was murdered alongside his 17 year old niece, Lamees, by the Mossad (Zionist intelligence agency) with a car bomb in Beirut in 1972. His murder was intended to silence his message, and in this they failed. For the end of Kanafani’s life has done nothing to halt the blossoming legacy of his words and vision, which we continue to carry within our hearts.
