Ghassan Kanafani addressed normalisation talks as being “capitulation” and “surrender.” The journalist and revolutionary leader pledged that the Palestinian people would rather die on their feet than live a life on their knees. Kanafani never carried a weapon; it was said that the pen was his weapon instead. Yet,... show more

In 1970, Palestinian writer Ghassan Kanafani sat down with Australian journalist Richard Carleton for what became one of the most quoted interviews in Middle Eastern history. Carleton keeps pushing the same question different ways — why won’t you just talk? Why won’t you negotiate? And each time, Kanafani flips it back on him with surgical precision. The exchange reveals something most Western audiences never heard at the time: the Palestinian perspective wasn’t anti-peace. It was anti-surrender dressed up as peace. Two years after this interview, Kanafani was assassinated by a Mossad car bomb in Beirut. He was 36.

“A Commando Who Never Fired a Gun, Whose Weapon Was a Ballpoint Pen” One revelation in Drop Site’s new investigation into Israel’s censorship campaign on Facebook and Instagram: Meta’s top policy official for Israel, Jordana Cutler—a longtime Netanyahu advisor—personally flagged posts about Palestinian novelist Ghassan Kanafani for takedown. Cutler instructed Meta staff to review content about Kanafani under policies targeting “glorification” of “violent individuals and organizations”—even though the leftist resistance group he once spoke for, the PFLP, wasn’t designated a terrorist group until decades after his death. Kanafani (1936–1972), however, is a towering figure in Palestinian literature—a journalist, novelist, and activist who chronicled exile and resistance in work now translated into over 17 languages until he was assassinated in a Mossad orchestrated car bombing in Beirut. Lebanon’s Daily Star described him as “a commando who never fired a gun, whose weapon was a ballpoint pen.” (Read our full investigation at the link below) Video: Ghassan Kanafani – The Era of Revolutionary Media (The Listening Post, Al Jazeera)

In this short clip from 1970, Palestinian writer Ghassan Kanafani schools a western journalist on why 'peace talks' between the neck and the sword are never really about peace. Israel murdered him two years later. Still as relevant today as it was 54 years ago.

Fela Anikulapo-Kuti was more than a musician; he was a fearless revolutionary. He gave his life so that an entire generation could have a draw leash on power, a vocabulary of resistance, and the courage to question oppression. His art became his weapon, and his sacrifice became our inheritance!

‘Men in the Sun,’ a tale of three refugees suffocating in the back of a water tanker as they attempt to cross into Kuwait, remains one of the most scalding allegories of Palestinian displacement. Its author, Ghassan Kanafani, was among the Arab world’s most influential novelists. A writer, editor, and a strategist for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Kanafani was born in Acre in 1936. When he was 12, Zionist militias drove his family into exile during the Nakba - an event whose humiliation and loss he would later write about with unsparing clarity. His early years as a teacher for children in refugee camps shaped his conviction that literature could be resistance: a way to give form to dispossession, and to insist on the right of return. In novels such as ‘All That’s Left to You’ and ‘Return to Haifa,’ he dismantled the comforts of nostalgia, articulating for fellow Palestinians the costs of exile and the demands of liberation. In 1972, he and his 17-year-old niece Lamees were killed in Beirut by a Mossad-planted car bomb. The Lebanese Daily Star described him as “a commando who never fired a gun, whose weapon was a ball-point pen...” (Source: Dead Poets Wilde)

“The greatest gift the enemy and occupation can give me is to assassinate me” In an old resurfaced video from a press conference in May 2021, Hamas Chief Yahya Sinwar, who was reportedly killed on Thursday by Israeli forces, said that he would rather die as “a martyr” at the hand of Israeli forces than “die a meaningless death.” Israel's government and military both confirmed on Thursday that Sinwar was killed in Gaza during a gunfight in an Israeli operation in Rafah. Hamas has not yet commented on Israel's announcement.

Fox Contributor Ted Williams: It was said he was brandishing a weapon. He was not, he did have a weapon, it was said by the white house he attacked the agents. No, He did not. You can see one of the agents takes his gun and that's before he’s shot.

Cuba's President Diaz-Canel: "Are we a threat, or are we a threat by example?" "When Maduro was kidnapped, those who fought back were Cubans. 32 of them held back a Delta Force unit... despite being massively outnumbered." "We are in difficult times, yes, but we are also in times that demand definition. And here, on this island, the courage of a people is defined -- a people that would rather die on their feet than live on their knees."

it did not begin on October 7. Ghassan Kanafani, one of Palestine's greatest writers, assassinated by Zionists at age 36 because his brilliance was a threat to them, wrote the short story "Letter from Gaza" in 1956. Listen to it. They have killed, burned alive and maimed Palestinian children in Gaza long before October 7.

Tupac was a performer through and through. At his core, he was an actor, a poet, and a thinker—not a gangster. Sure, he rapped about the streets and the struggles that came with them, but that was more about telling the stories of the people around him than living that life himself. He had the smarts and the charisma to pull people in, whether it was on stage, on screen, or in his music. He trained at the Baltimore School for the Arts, where he honed his craft, showing he was born to entertain. The "gangster" image? That was more about the industry and the media pushing a narrative than who Tupac really was at heart. Tupac was an artist first, using his voice and talent to speak for the people, share their pain, and make you feel something. He wasn’t about the gangster life—he was about the art and the message.

Erbil-based Shams TV explains why they held off on airing their exclusive interview with Syrian President أحمد الشرع: The journalist explains that the pre-interview understanding from the channel was for the segment to serve as a way to calm the waters with regards to the Damascus-Kurdish conflict in Syria. He said the general vibe in Erbil is against the interview, and the Syrian president was savvy in his answers and emphasized he had no quarrel with the Kurdish people. Yet, the journalist says he was surprised that the president started off taking a hard line against the SDF. He says he tried to nudge him through questions toward a conciliatory tone, but he kept escalating. 'He had enough of General Mazloum and the SDF, and he would not give them another chance, only to adhere to the March agreement.' It was a final warning. He said he'd never accept to have a militia in the country, insisting on only one country and one army. The journalist said the interview was supposed to be 30 minutes but ran to 53. Afterwards, he said, he checked with his colleagues, and the consensus was that the interview would inflame things rather than calm the waters, so they decided to hold it until further notice.

He is not only a self-confessed murderer. He was also a molester of women. Rodrigo Duterte once bragged—not confessed, bragged— about violating their family’s maid when he was younger. He said it from the pulpit of the Presidency, and his followers and fanatics laughed. That moment revealed everything: a leader devoid of conscience, and a crowd that cheered moral rot. This wasn’t politics but rather the normalisation of depravity.

The building we were inside started collapsing on us. Everyone started screaming as if it were an earthquake. Then a Hamas fighter gave me his weapon and told me, ‘Run behind me.’” The host asked: “You could have killed him.” Israeli soldier Eitan Mor replied: “And what would I do after that?”
