From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Said K. Aburish (Arabic: سعيد أبو ريش) (born 1935, al-Eizariya) is a Palestinian journalist and writer.
After attending school in Jerusalem and Beirut, he studied at university in the United States. He returned to Beirut in the 1950s as a reporter for Radio Free Europe and the London Daily Mail.
Aburish has written extensively on the Palestinian conflict, including the books Cry Palestine and Children of Bethany. He has also written sympathetically of the plight of Palestinian Christians in The Forgotten Faithful: The Christians of the Holy Land.
