MFs that talk all that antifa game, but won't utter the word Palestine during a live-streamed Genocide, can go motherfuck themselves

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

And ICYMI, they actually did an official Ted Talk in north Gaza back in 2015 - Shujaiya.

Israel almost entirely destroyed the neighborhood.

#BrunswickME - #EarthDay with #BrunswickPeaceWorks

Tuesday, April 22, 2025
2:00 PM to 4:00 PM

Brunswick Town Mall
191-195 Maine Street
Brunswick, ME, 04011

"Children of all ages are invited to build a symbolic white kite in commemoration of #RefaatAlareer, #Palestinian poet whose poem '#IfIMustDie' inspired our event.

"In his poem he suggests that a child might look up into the sky and see white kites flying there and imagine them to be Angels coming to bring Love back to the Earth.

"And so we connect our passion for #Palestinian lives with the sorrowful need of our Earth for heightened and deepened love from each of us.

"We will close the gathering with a parade, carrying our symbolic kites along the sidewalks of downtown Brunswick.

"We hope to see you there!"

‘How many dead Palestinians are enough?’ The unbearable prescience of the late poet Refaat Alareer

"The author and academic was killed in an Israeli airstrike a year ago. A posthumous collection of his work, If I Must Die, tells the stories of Gaza in a plea for change..."

🌹 Remembering the late great Refaat Al Areer on his birthday today.

A brilliant writer, poet, and professor whose work gave a voice to the people of #Gaza.

His words were filled with truth, resilience, and hope. Though he may no longer be with us, his legacy will live forever in our hearts.

Rest in power, Refaat.

See you in Liberation.

If I must die
by Refaat Alareer (1979 - 2023)

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

🪁

@ B'nai Brith Canada & @bnaibrithcanada

B’nai Brith Canada was recently made aware of a display at Toronto's Main Street Library titled "Israel-Palestine Conflict," which presented a biased and unbalanced anti-Israel perspective. The display also inappropriately included a poem titled "If | Must Die," which glorifies martyrdom.

Upon discovering this, we immediately reached out to the Toronto Public Library (TPL) to express our concerns about the lack of balance and the inappropriate content within the display, requesting that it be amended. We are pleased to report that the TPL has taken prompt action in response to our concerns. The TPL have committed to adjusting the display to ensure it contains an accurate representation of the Israel- Palestine conflict. Additionally, the poem "If | Must Die" will be removed from the display.
