Ilyas Shufani

Today, I learned of the passing of Ilyas Shufani, a Palestinian intellectual.  He worked diligently but quietly in Palestinian research center.  He managed to stay above the petty disputed and the massive corruption of Arafat's PLO.   I recommend his books to you all.  Condolences to his daughter, Hind, and to his family.  You have every right to be proud of his achievements.
