It is gross to have Bassam Abu Sharif speak on Ghassan Kanafani. Kanafani was everything that Bassam Abu Sharif is not, and will never be. Abu Sharif spent his life trying to emulate the path of Kanafani and failed miserably. He even tried to write novels. Compare Al-Hadaf in Kanafani's days to the days when it was under the editorship of Abu Sharif.
