Episode 232 - Poems for Refaat
from Delete Your Account Podcast
In tribute to Palestinian poet, activist, academic, and co-founder of We Are Not Numbers, Refaat Alareer, Roqayah and Kumars are joined by his colleague at the Electronic Intifada, Nora Barrows-Friedman, to discuss Israel's deliberate assassination of Refaat, and his legacy. Nora discusses the impact of Refaat's targeted execution by Israel, and the impressions he left upon thousands of students who he helped mentor during his life. The crew also weighs the significance of the written word, its role in resisting occupation in Palestine, and Israel's historic fear of the Palestinian pen.
