“I Am You: A Poem from Gaza to Israel” by Dr. Refaat Alareer, who was murdered on December 7th, 2023 along with all of his family in the genocidal bombardment of Gaza by the occupation forces of the Zionist entity that sacrilegiously calls itself Israel, and kills Palestinians by the tens of thousands in the name of Jewish safety, and has likely killed over 25,000 in Gaza in just 100 days since the brutal assault by Hamas on 10/7, and continues to wage war on the innocent people of Gaza with the goal of permanent total displacement of the population through shameless terrorism and obvious war crimes with U.S. bombs and tax dollars while refugees freeze in sub zero temperatures in Chicago, where I live, on Anishinabe land.
This poem is as difficult to read as it is to hear, and listening to me read it as a Jewish person will likely be as surreal for you as it was for me to embody the martyr’s words. But I #ReadforRefaat in solidarity with @librarianswithpalestine , @publishers4palestine , @culturalworkers4palichi and so many others around the world, and most of all for Palestine itself and for all the people in the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, because I want you to hear and experience the power of his words, and sit with the deep historical analysis presented in this poem and summed up in its refrain: I am you.
Pass it on.

Thank you young man. Beautifully said and very emotional. RIP Dr. Alareer, what a sad loss.
Thank you, Adam. It is a comfort to know there are people like you in the world, and an honour to hear the words of the great Dr Alareer. ❤
Beautiful
Memorize this. Recite this out loud. Can reciting this in public be accused of being an act of antisemitism?
I beg to differ, no matter what the circumstances I will never ever kill any defenceless woman or child, because that is the work of Cowards not real men.
I ask the Israelis who is David ( Duad ayli salaam) and who is Goliath? Bring back peace to Palestine.
You my brother were one of the good ones, may Allah bless you with Jannah tul Fardos.
Not in a million years.
Sure, you don’t believe in afterlife
You're you
