8 October 2023: Prophetic words from Professor Refaat Alareer, 44, the beloved writer, poet and educator, who makes mincemeat of the BBC and the skinhead war criminal former PM of Israel who sends chills up the spine with his cold murderous eyes and genocidal words. The interviewer attempts to shut down Refaat but he is relentless and predicts what is to happen. He compares the Palestinian resistance with the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and defends the right of those who are occupied to resist their occupiers as per international law. He refers to the Gaza Ghetto Uprising.

He asks rhetorically in a later interview, to the background sounds of bombing in his neighbourhood..

“What should we do? Drown? We are not going to do that”.

On 4 December 2023, he wrote on X:

“When Israel ran out of lies, it regurgitated the rape and sexual violence lie. The first to get the Zionist marching orders is this UN racist Antonio Guterres.
ALL the rape/sexual violence allegations are lies. Israel uses them as smokescreens to justify the Gaza genocide.

“We could die this dawn. I wish I were a freedom fighter so I die fighting back those invading Israeli genocidal maniacs invading my neighborhood and city.

“We are enveloped in thick layers of gunpowder and cement. There are several bombs and shells each and every single minute. It’s suffocating.

“Israel is destroying and burning so many homes in Shujayia. Many people are still in their homes.

“The building is shaking. The debris and shrapnel are hitting the walls and flying in the streets. Israel has not stopped bombing, shelling, and shooting. Pray for us. Pray for Gaza.”

Refaat was killed by US made Israeli bombs on 6 December 2023. He wrote the widely celebrated poem “If I must die”.

Then on April 24, 2024, Israel murdered his daughter, grandson and son-in-law of Refaat Alareer, who was assassinated by Israel in December. The airstrike on a building in the al-Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City killed Shymaa Retaat Alareer, her husband Muhammad Abd al-Aziz Siyam and their 3-month-old son Abd al-Rahman.
They had been sheltering in the building of Global Communities, an international relief charity formerly known as CHF, in Gaza City, according to Abdallah Abd al-Aziz Siyam, Muhammad's brother.
At around 11 am on Friday morning, Abdallah spoke to Muhammad by phone and said he was on his way to the CHF building to see him.
Moments later, Abdallah, who said he works for Global Communities, received a call that the building had been bombed. He ran to the location and found his brother, Shymaa and their baby son dead. According to Abdallah, they were the only people at the building when it was attacked.
Abdallah said that no one thought the CHF building would be bombed without warning, given that it was the headquarters of an international aid agency. The Electronic Intifada has reached out to Global Communities and this article will be updated with any new information.
Funeral prayers were held for the family after their bodies were brought to al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City.
The killing of Refaat's daughter Shymaa and the grandson he never had a chance to meet is being received with renewed outrage and grief from Refaat's close friends, former students and people around the world who have been touched by Refaat's life and work.

Refaat Alareer was killed because his message reached the world.

Tell them, we did not live silent.
We lit up the sky.
We laughed.
We took care of each other.
Tell them, we were broken.
But we did not live silent.
We reached the impossible.
And it was impossible.
If I die, tell them, we did not live silent.
We sang. We taught. We learned. We grew.
We messed with each other. We danced. And we danced.
We made it work. We prayed for each other.
We cried. We held each other.
But tell them, we did not live silent.
We resisted. And resisted. And resisted. And resisted.
We bled. And we stitched each other up.
We leaned on each other. We fed each other.
Tell them, we did not live silent.
We told stories at night. We rode at dawn.
We ran for our lives. We swam for our lives.
We risked it all. We never gave up. Till the last breath.
Tell them, we did not live silent.
And we died. Free!

If I must die,
you must live
to tell my story
to sell my things
to buy a piece of cloth
and some strings,
(make it white with a long tail)
so that a child, somewhere in Gaza
while looking heaven in the eye
awaiting his dad who left in a blaze—
and bid no one farewell
not even to his flesh
not even to himself—
sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above
and thinks for a moment an angel is there
bringing back love
If I must die
let it bring hope
let it be a tale
