Hundreds attend vigil for Dr. Refaat Alareer in New York

Hundreds of people in New York City organised a vigil in memory of Dr. Refaat Alareer, a Palestinian poet who was killed recently by an Israeli air strike. During the event, the activists recited a poem authored by Refaat titled "I am you," a composition directed towards the soldiers of the Israeli occupation.

    I hope this moment in history will wake people up to the fact the enemy we have in common is a corrupt, authoritarian imperialist and capitalist system. As a conservative, you might bristle at me mentioning capitalism and imperialism (I'm unashamedly a communist, a *real* communist, not what FOX calls a communist), but I ask you to honestly ask yourself whether this system actually benefits regular working people. Who *does* it benefit? Is it moral? If you're religious, what did Jesus teach about the poor and the disenfranchised and what did he say about rich people? More down to earth, your taxes are going to support this genocide. I doubt you're ok with that.

    It's a particular interpretation of scripture. How could any moral person believe their god wants all of this blood of the Palestinians to be spilled? How can they believe god has a "chosen" people and a forsaken people? It's sickening

    Imprisoning seven million Palestinians in their ancestral homeland for over seven decades is a moral transgression that lacks justification. It fails to address the root causes of HAMAS's violence, which is undeniably a byproduct of this long standing injustice. As the timeless adage suggests, "violence begets violence," highlighting the inescapable consequences of such actions. Building our wealth, power, and happiness at the expense of Palestinian suffering, depriving them of freedom and liberty, is an ethical flaw. Each human being is inherently sacred, deserving complete protection of their human rights. Justice must prevail for every facet of humanity, for the absence of justice equates to the absence of peace.

Normally when you suffer you know deep down how suffering feels like sounds like etc and you don’t want inflict that same suffering to another human being. But also imagine if your victims get stronger one day and inflict the same suffering that you have done onto them and that cycle of suffering will continue.

One, two The very same gun The very same bullet that had killed your mom and killed your dad is being used against me by you Mark this bullet and mark it in your gun If you sniff it, it has your and my blood. It has my present and your past It has my present It has your future That is why we are twins Same life track Same weapon Same suffering Same facial expressions drawn on the face of the killer Same everything Except that in your case The victim has evolved backward into a victimizer I tell you I am you Exept that I am not you of now I do not hate you I want to help you stop hating and killing me I tell you The noise of your machine gun renders you deaf The smell of the powder beat that of my blood The sparks disfigure my facial exoressions Would you stop shooting for a moment?!! Would you?!!
