Shakespeare in Gaza
Refaat Alareer standing before a room of students, his voice steady. And then he asked us:
What is the value of resistance if no one tells your story?
We are Hamlet’s last breath.
We are Dr. Refaat’s last poem.

DenaRefaat would have been 45 today. As Asem said - since he can't speak, we must.
Memorize a short poem to hold him in your heart and mind forever. He'd have liked that. Or maybe a few lines from Shakespeare - he'd have LOVED that, sweet teacher that he was, always trying to get everyone to learn.
My quote for him is from Robert Frost, about losing a friend to war:
1/2

Gladwyn d’SouzaMOSAB ABU TOHA: Well, first of all, #Refaat’s death is not a unique death. There are many other intelligent and wonderful and lovely people who were killed the same way. And by the way, many people don’t know this, but Refaat’s body is still under the rubble of the house that was bombed. So, I want everyone to imagine that your brother, that your father, that your neighbor was not only killed, but his body is still under the rubble, and the body is starting to decay. I don’t know what remains of Refaat’s body. This really breaks my heart.

Palestinian Poet Mosab Abu Toha Decries Israel’s “Inhumane” Assault as Gaza Death Toll Tops 25,000
Palestinian health authorities say the death toll in Gaza has passed 25,000. This comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly affirmed in recent days that he opposes the creation of a Palestinian state, saying Israel must maintain indefinite military control between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. We get an update and speak with Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha, who was detained by Israeli authorities as he and his family fled Gaza in late November. He says that while there must be an immediate ceasefire to stop the suffering, only “a just solution to the Palestinian case” will bring long-term stability to the region. “If there is no peace, … we will unfortunately witness more and more of the killings of innocent people everywhere,” he says.
GM7077#Refaat's very last post before he was martyred by the Arrogant:
"The Democratic Party and Biden are responsible for the Gaza genocide perpetrated by Israel."

#StopTargetedKillingAndDisapearingPoetsAndJournalistAndTheirFamilies: Now #Refaat is a world away. He was assassinated on December 6 by the Israeli army. The only weapon in his #Gaza apartment was an EXPO marker. If the Israeli soldiers were to raid his house, he said, he would throw it at them, while crying, “We are helpless.”
