سليمان تقي الدين، وداعاً

Suleiman Taqi al-Din, Farewell

Bidayat

He never stopped fighting in life, and never stopped fighting in death — and the red star remained his compass after the comrades dispersed.

عصام النقّري (ابو ربيع)

Issam al-Naqqari (Abu Rabi')

Survived war and resistance unscathed — killed by a hit-and-run whose driver fled. The easiest thing in this country: commit a crime and escape punishment.

عبد الرحمن منيف يؤسِّس لأدب الصداقة – والباهي محمد يحلم بالطُوفان

Abdel Rahman Munif Founds a Literature of Friendship - And al-Bahi Muhammad Dreams of the Deluge

As-Safir

The friend alone is chosen — not the comrade, not the brother. Al-Bahi dreamed of a flood: a new Noah filling the earth with justice. Where are you, great Flood?

محمد دكروب ليس سنديانة

Muhammad Dakroub Is Not an Oak Tree

Dakroub is not an oak — he made of the laborer an intellectual and kept the intellectual a laborer. "The man who walks opens a new horizon with every step."

كمال صليبي – مصالحة اللبنانيين مع تاريخهم

Kamal Salibi - Reconciling the Lebanese with Their History

The civil war as a war of narratives over history — Salibi's equation: Arabs will not be Arab again without Arab Christians.

بلعيدي الحرب الاسبانية

Belaidi of the Spanish Civil War

An-Nahar

“Otherwise what would workers say about the Arabs?” That is how Muhammad Belaidi went to Spain and returned an internationalist martyr.

خاف الطغاة فقتلوه

The Tyrants Feared Him, So They Killed Him

Tyrants feared him and killed him — because he said with brazen simplicity that democracy is the road to Palestine. A free man whose prisons can no longer hold everyone.

محمد بلعيدي: شهيد عربي دفاعاً عن الجمهورية الاسبانية

Muhammad Belaidi: An Arab Martyr in Defense of the Spanish Republic

When I heard Arabs fought for Franco, I said: I must do something — what will they say about Arabs? A Spanish woman raised her fist over the Arab's coffin.
