Irish Republican Socialist Party
IRSP Mourn the Death of Edward Said
It was with great sadness that the Irish Republican Socialist Party heard
of the death of Edward Said, professor, author, and tireless champion of
the Palestinian intifada.
Edward Said made significant contributions to a number of fields of
intellectual inquiry, but reached beyond the world of academia in a manner
which few accomplish. Edward Said helped transform the social sciences,
especially those focused on the Arab world, but he was also an activist who
ceaselessly championed the cause of justice and tirelessly sought to bring
clarity and truth regarding the struggle of the Palestinian people and the
Arab nation to the world.
Edward Said was among the most effective voices for bringing to light the
reality of the Palestinian cause in the West through his newspaper columns,
scholarly essays, books, and interviews. Said made errors in his time, as
all men do, but his works were important for helping to humanise the
reality of the Palestinian struggle and for adding the credibility that is
bestowed by the work of a genuine scholars. His voice and intellect will be
missed.

You Sir passed your torch.
"The vast majority of our people are now thoroughly sick of the misfortunes that have befallen us . . .
On the other hand, I have never met a Palestinian who is tired enough of being a Palestinian to give up entirely."
Dr. Edward Said.
