I am the one who carried his poetry and traveled with it to far away places. I am the one who carried his soil and longing to his mother, his Rita, his olive tree and grape vine. Would you believe me when I say to you that poets do not die, but only pretend to?Marcel Khalife

and he perfeectly looked like a palestinian, just go to ramallah and the towns around it and they are all look like him there, and in the north of palestine they all like him, i have cousins there that all have his color and facial features, so go kill ur self u ignorant mole, and learn more about things before u talk about them. i bet u dont even know anything about the origin of the palestinian people.
