The new Palestinian national unity government will be announced by the end of November, the Palestinian Legislative Council member and head of the Palestinian National Initiative, Mustafa Barghouthi, declared on Tuesday.

The most faithful representative of the Palestinian cause and the sufferings of the Palestinian people and their aspirations for true freedom and dignity is Edward Said. This is no overstatement, even though he did not share the physical presence on the land and the day-to-day anguish of the people on that land. Rather, he attained this status through pure political thought and action.
