I’ve been inquiring as to his last name. I’m hoping somebody remembers it. Wolf Blitzer said he was from a well know Palestinian family.
I thought they said his last name was Barghouti. If so, there’s a Barghouti that was head of Fatah, and there’s a Barghouti that was a politician.
Beautiful sentiment from the Edwards family. I love that old hymn
We are simply heartbroken by the deaths and injuries suffered at
Virginia Tech. We know what an unspeakable, life-changing moment
this is for these families and how, in this moment, it is hard to feel
anything but overwhelming grief, much less the love and support around
you. But the love and support is there. We pray that these families,
these students, and the entire Virginia Tech community know that they
are being embraced by a nation. There is a Methodist hymn that gave
us solace in such a moment as this, and we repeat its final verse here,
in hopes it will help these families, as it helped us:
In our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity;
In our doubt there is believing, in our life, eternity,
In our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory,
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.
Our dearest wish is that this day could start again, with the promise of
these young people alive. Knowing that cannot be, our prayer is for
God’s grace and whatever measure of peace can be reached on this
terrible day.
John and Elizabeth Edwards
There was a cell phone video that recorded the shots and it was from a “student” named Jamal Barghouti. At first, I thought he was the cornered perp. I’m fairly certain of the name.
F
anything is worth checking, but as a general matter, it’s worth as much as if an American named Johnson filmed a bombing in Israel and people started saying “Well, there’s a Johnson who was President, and a Johnson who was a famous basketball player, and a Johnson who said “verrry interesting . . . .”
“thought they said his last name was Barghouti.”
There is also the author, Mourid Barghouti. I read his book a few years ago. I guess he is *kinda* famous.
