On December 12, 2023 #RefaatAlareer was killed in an airstrike. A bomb dropped by Bibi and Israel and funded by Biden and Kamala.
Nai Barghouti delivers an emotional tribute to the late Refaat Alareer, transforming his final poem into a hauntingly beautiful anthem of hope and resilience for a liberated Palestine.

If I Must Die by Refaat Alareer
The smallest glimpse into the genocide, heartbreaking stories but full of hope for the future too.

#RefaatAlareer was a professor and mentor who believed that stories are acts of life. The IOF murdered him in a targeted airstrike on Dec 6, 2023, along with several members of his family.
#GazaWritesBack remains his legacy, featuring 15 young authors who refused to be silenced.
This history of PaIestinian hospitality is a window into a lost polis—a civic friendship based on a constant "talking together" that unites all citizens regardless of religion or race.
It reminds me of this powerful passage from "#GazaWritesBack," edited by #RefaatAlareer:

仙台駅前、パレスチナ・フラッグがはためく下、プラカードを持って立つプロテスター。
翌日昼、仙台駅前パレスチナ連帯スタンディングへ。
2年前のきょう、イスラエルによって虐殺された、詩人リフアト・アルアライールさんの、 If I Must Die を、オリジナルの英詩と、日本語訳をあわせて朗読した。
─ An angel is there bringing back love.
きっと、きょう、世界中のいたるところで、この詩がうたわれているだろう。
いつまで経っても、イスラエルの極悪を、パレスチナの苦悩を、民族浄化を止めることのできない、わたしたちの、罪に満ちた、ふがいない世界で。

#RefaatAlareer was killed 2 years ago, on Dec 6.
In his poem "If I Must Die" he asked us to tell his story.
So I gave it my heart-felt melody and made a commitment to repost this song every year, around this time, until I die.

"If I get killed by Israeli bombs or my family is harmed, I blame Bari Weiss and her likes." Weeks later, he was targeted and killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza as the IDF escalated its attacks against Palestinian scholars and academics. Today, Bari Weiss - founder of the pro-Israel outlet The Free Press - is reportedly set to become editor-in-chief of CBS News under a new ownership deal led by Larry Ellison's family, one of Israel's biggest private donors. From incitement to influence, this is what media power looks like in an empire that rewards those who justify genocide.

After using the dead & the parents of autistic people, now they are using all world children for a cheap, tastless, & meaningless show of fabricated care. How cruel is it to talk about kites & happy childhood, when 10's of 1000's of children were killed with your weapons...

Refaat Alareer was a Palestinian poet, teacher, and father. That was enough to make him a target. His words and his impact will live on long after he was assassinated by Israel. Free Palestine. #refaatalareer #ifimustdie #profthugsundaybooksuggestion
