“I started with reading Chomsky and slowly became very interested in anything that had to do with Israel/Palestine. Reading Edward Said, Mahmoud Darwish, Ghassan Kanafani, John Berger, Tanya Reinhart, Ilan Pappé, Norman Finkelstein, Noam Chomsky, Kurt Vonnegut, Arundhati Roy, Naomi Klein . . . all became part of my daily routine.”
― Noam Chomsky, On Palestine

“بالدم نكتب لفلسطين
We write with the blood for Palestine”
― Ghassan Kanafani

“My political position springs from my being a novelist. In so far as I am concerned, politics and the novel are an indivisible case and I can categorically state that I became politically committed because I am a novelist, not the opposite.”
― Ghassan Kanafani

“...suddenly [I] began to cry for no reason at all—or perhaps for everything for which I had no name.”
― Ghassan Kanafani, ما تبقى لكم
