Muin Bseiso, a Palestinian poet, and Constantin Zurayk, a Christian Syrian professor, both shared a common cause in championing the Palestinian struggle for justice and resistance against oppression.
Bseiso, known for his writings on life in Gaza during Egyptian control, faced imprisonment twice for his left-wing political stance that echoed the Palestinian cause.
Zurayk, a Christian Syrian nationalist and history professor in Beirut, clandestinely supported armed resistance groups throughout the Middle East, demonstrating his commitment to the Palestinian cause and Arab nationalism.
Zurayk is credited with coining the term Nakba to describe the tragic displacement of over 750,000 Palestinians during the establishment of Israel in 1948, emphasizing the ongoing struggle and hardships faced by the Palestinian people.
