It's sad that UAE denied Tamim what rightfully was his, but I'm sure he won much bigger trophy: the unity of the Palestinian people. I hope he continues to write poetry and never back away from speaking for Palestine in his poetry. I did not know this but I’m quite happy to know this.

Zionism is not Judaism! The Zionist regime is a heretical outlaw regime that occupies the mind of most people through Holocaustism. Its days are numbered. The Palestinian People must hold on. But playing the Oslo political game is a useless effort! And I pray to God that you retake the land of your grandfather! Zionism is not Judaism!

That is, that supporting the so-called State of Israel is their contribution to compensating the Jewish People for what is called the HOLOCAUST. No European leader would dare risk being called an anti-semite by questioning the legitimacy of the Zionist ethnocracy and conquest. And this results in their accepting the idea that Palestinians should pay for whatever did or did not happen in Poland in World War II. As long as the Zionist heretics hold the sword of Damocles-Holocaustims over the heads of Europeans, they will continue on this insane policy. There is no practical alternative to the Palestinians taking things into their own hands. And God will do the rest! Playing politics with Oslo, even by Hamas, is a total waste of time.
