Juliet Stevenson reads IF I MUST DIE by Refaat Alareer at London Palestine demonstration

Renowned actor Juliet Stevenson reads IF I MUST DIE by Refaat Alareer- his last poem before he was killed by an Israeli Airstrike at the London Palestine demonstration on 27/04/2024
They tried to kill Refaat but ended up making him immortal
“IF I MUST DIE”
BY REFAAT ALAREER
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

Well done Juliet for the humanitarian message, bravo. Glad you have not sold your soul to the devil. Great actress too.

The make-believe Palestinians have been killed and expelled in greater numbers in Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. No Arab country will welcome them What do these countries know, that you do not understand?
