‘If I Must Die’: Refaat Alareer’s book released
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has announced the release of “If I Must Die,” a collection of works by the late Palestinian poet and activist Refaat Alareer.
The book’s title references his last poem, which he famously tweeted just weeks before his assassination by Israel on Dec. 6 last year. It has since become a symbol of Palestinian resistance.
CAIR is urging Americans to engage with Alareer’s legacy by hosting discussions and readings of his book.
Alareer was killed by an Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza along with his brother, sister, and four nephews.
The Euro-Med Monitor says Israel deliberately targeted Alareer, with his killing following death threats — online and by phone — from Israeli accounts.
CAIR said although the war criminals of the Israeli government killed Alareer, they failed to silence his voice.
