I question the premise of the above cited article.

M. Cherif Bassiouni is Distinguished Research Professor of Law and Presiden
International Human Rights Law Institute, DePaul University College of Law
President, International Institute of Higher Studies in Criminal Scien
(Siracusa, Italy); Honorary President, International Association of Penal
(Paris, France); Former President, Association of Arab-American Univer
Graduates (1970). ((Professor Bassiouni died in September 2017.))

Reflections on a Lost Opportunity by M. Cheriff Bassiouni

*There is one incident during my tenure as AAUG President that
remains vivid. It was at the Evanston convention held at the Orri
1970. The organization, through Abu-Lughod, had recruited Edwa
was becoming more and more popular and recognized as an intelle
this country. But until 1967, Edward Said was basically an Anglop
of comparative literature whose intellectual and emotional connec
Arab world appeared quite superficial. I had known Edward in Cai
after his parental family fled Jerusalem in 1947 [The Said family
periods in Cairo where Edward's father had a business.] In C
enrolled in an English school and was considered an Anglophile, w
standards and those who, like me, were deeply rooted in Egyptian
was a cardinal sin. Edward later went to Princeton and then to Harvard where he
pursued his interests in comparative literature, demonstrating his great intellect.
There was no indication of any commitment to Arab nationalism. By the time
the Evanston convention of 1970 took place, Edward was virtually at the
forefront of leftist revolutionary Palestinian thinking.

The AAUG Board was meeting in one of the upper floors, on the
mezzanine, while a group of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine
(PFLP) aficionados was meeting outside the framework of the convention in a
room on the mezzanine level. Edward was one of their speakers. In the midst of
our mundane administrative board deliberations on the affairs of the
organization, someone rushed into the room telling us a group of Israeli students
was in the lobby, and they were led by General Harkabi, a former head of Israeli
military intelligence and a brilliant intellectual who advocated dialogue with the Palestinians. By coincidence the Israeli students had their annual meeting in he AAUG Board was meeting in one of the upper floors, on the

our mundane administrative board deliberations on the affairs of the
organization, someone rushed into the room telling us a group of Israeli students
was in the lobby, and they were led by General Harkabi, a former head of Israeli
military intelligence and a brilliant intellectual who advocated dialogue . . .

The incident remained in my mind as an example of the lack of
understanding that separates Israelis and Palestinians.'>>>
