I am not Palestinian. I am a jew, andI stand with you in this horrific, heart breaking genocide. You must go to the courts of law, and show all the evidence you have, and seek justice. YOU MUST.
Refaat, True Hero! 💜 The whole world is seeing the TRUTH, Israel. There is no turning back. The world is now knowing what Palestinians have been going through for 75+ years. Blessings, Everyone
IDF called him, told him they knew which school he was taking refuge in and they told him that they were going to kill him. He didn't want people to die because of him so he left the school to stay with his sister. He, his sister, and his sister's kids all died after the occupation forces bombed the building they were staying in. This is not war, not self-defence; this. Is. Genocide. This is war crime. May he and every Palestinian martyr rest in peace. FREE PALESTINE! 🇵🇸
Fafo at its best. At least he got a call, Hamas didnt make calls. Did IDF sprinkle baking powder on the bomb as a last response about his joke of baking jewish kids? Btw, the phones of looting gazans and Hamas terrorists showed which apartheid and genocide they try to establish.
He has gone by the brutality of the terror state but all his beautiful poems will be printed in every human’s heart. His wonderful soul will shine in heaven. His precious memory will be kept in every books, in every mind for generations 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Brave young woman reading this so powerfully. I would have broken down more than once. Such a powerful poem, particularly when he says 'I don't hate you, I want you to stop hating me...' These are the words of a great poet and extraordinary human being. Those who murdered him will pay for their war crimes.
I'd been following Refaat for a few years now, watched him countless times live in the Electronic Intifada and many other places, even talked to him a few times on Twitter (where he was often full of humor)... Beyond saddening, it's truly bizarre to have someone you've talked to just be assassinated... And nothing happens to the murderers. In fact, they're helped by western countries. And, yes, for those who don't know, he was assassinated (along with his family, which included children). Israeli forces even contacted him a few days before he died to let him know they were coming for him (that's why he left the school he was taking shelter in, to not put all the other people there in even more danger).
My heart is aching for you , my eyes are tearing for you every day . Oh my dear Palestinian you are and will always be remembered in my heart especially in my prayers until my death In Shaa Allah.
the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group. this is the definition warmonger @@jamesnieman2953

I was born a Palestinian Muslim, and as I grew up, I didn't believe in any religion, but I still believe in my Palestine because it is not about religion.

"The biggest insult to the memory of the holocaust is not denying it but using it as an excuse to justify the genocide of the Palestinian people." - Norman Finkelstein
I was just reading about a Franciscan monk who said that while working in Jerusalem, Jewish children and students would curse and spit on him every day. Every day! And there are YT videos of tourists and Christians on pilgrimage receiving the same vile treatment. 🇵🇸🇺🇸
Dear Palestinian and Arab people, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I was told that you were "terrorists" - just cruel people who kill for the sake of killing, with no reason for it. I didn't know that you had been so deeply hurt, and so cruelly wronged, and so trapped for so long, that you started seeking vengeance. I did not even check into it until recently. But I finally did and now I know. Although my voice appears to be just yet another little "worthless" one, in the parts of our world that have not yet seen our value, I hope it helps you. My heart is with you and is praying for you to have the safety and freedom and peace you long for and should have been allowed to retain in Palestine. I'm so sorry that this horrid violence is still happening to you. I hope the Heart of humanity quickly helps you to restore your Palestine into the place where you are safe and free, so that you no longer have to fight for it to be. After this round of violent fighting is over, I hope you let your tears cry out the pain and anger so that you heal and do not continue seeking vengeance. I hope you lay down your swards and settle into a place of peace and Love within yourselves, for your own sakes. I hope Love and peace and freedom wins, for you and your precious Palestine, because it is what is right and fair. Message for Israel Dear Jewish immigrants in Palestine/"Israel," I understand that you wanted a peaceful place of your own, so that you could be safe from the wrongs that were done to you in Germany...etc. But, you cannot attain it through thieving and killing or through following other people's controlling ways. I hope you heal - I hope you let your tears wash away the pain that was inflicted upon you, so that you do not continue to inflict it upon others. I hope you, and all who set you up there, find your hearts and connect to the real God - the God that is Love - the God/Love that guides people into being compassionate - into being kind and considerate and peaceful and accepting of other people's differences and other people's rights to safety and freedom and peace in their own homes and on their own lands. In the 1940s you could have honored the real God/Love who wanted you to "Love thy neighbor," but you chose to hate them and get rid of them, and this has filled sacred lands with blood and agony and rage and it just has to stop. And please stop blaming your victims. The Palestinian people fighting back is not the root problem here - its what you did to drive them into seeking revenge. Please realize your own mistakes - your own "terroristic" behaviors and choose a better way. The Heart of humanity is begging you to choose the way of Love and peace. Can't you hear it calling out to you from the streets all around the world? "Free Palestine" also means 'Love Palestine, instead of continuing to control and destroy it.' Israel, please cease fire now! Please set Palestine free and let it settle into a place of peace and healing, for those of you who have been hurt, and for the native Arab/Palestinian people. Please let Love into your hearts enough to embrace the native Arab people and let them freely live in their own homes and on their own lands. The time for this is long overdue. Please do it now. Please lay down your swards and pick up your Hearts. Please let Love/God in.
@SharonPoet, Your words brought tears onto my face, you might think your comment to be insignificant, but I assure you , every one of these comments open the eyes of many who were just like you, the millions of protesters showing that which had been kept hidden under the rug after being swept there by the Zionist and their supporters. Thank you for tears.

Israel.even had that lovely Na*zi youth song last week singing about the pure and beautiful and blood and soil , Himmler was smiling in his grave listening to it .
It's like a punch in the stomach. I'm a big man, I'm old, I'm angry but I can't hold back the tears. I would like to say to Mr. Refaat Alareer: I am You and today a part of myself died. A part of me that is responsible for taking your soul straight to the door of Heaven. With much love and respect, from Rome, Italy.

The pen is mightier than the sword and Israel knows that
A PEN. something Isreal can’t tolerate and it’s not the first time they assassinated a writer
They want him to silence them because he spoke about any tool that they consider a weapon
