88 years old and still fighting, strong, and resilient… Thank you, Vanessa.

This is what Ali Saadeh wrote in Arabic:
Most people don’t remember her. Vanessa Redgrave is an English film and stage actress who won an Academy Award, an Emmy Award, and a Golden Globe.
Protests erupted by some Jews against her receiving an Oscar and her attendance at the ceremony to accept the award for her participation in a documentary about the Palestinian cause in 1977.
During her acceptance speech at the Oscars, she attacked “that bunch of Zionist thugs,” as she described them, who objected to her participation in the documentary and her receiving the Oscar.
