Viva Palestine................as long as I live I shall shout it! I never forgot mid-July 1973, when that boat landed in the Piraeus harbor, right behind mine, going back to Alex.: I saw a ribbon of people going down that boat, silent, like brain-dead. They sat on the dock, as if nowhere to go. I asked my Egyptian boat captain who these sad folks were............''Palestinians, he said, evicted from their homeland, and nowhere to go''. When I landed in Alex, at least 50 Egyptians were waiting for me on the dock. I had the face of a mortician...I told them.............They wept like whales. On that day, we prepared for a fiesta in Alex, to celebrate my return. They had made reservation in a fancy, brand new hotel, Hotel Palestine,the front of which was facing Palestine...There was a minute of silence for that boat load of misery.................... La Palestine vaincra. Source link
