Before Israel killed him, Palestinian scholar Refaat Al Areer wrote to his daughter:

If I must die

you must live

to tell my story

Yesterday Israel killed his daughter Al-Shaymaa along with her husband and baby.

Who is going to tell Refaat and Shayma's story? Who's going to continue to tell the world how Israel obliterated entire bloodlines?

Refaat's poem continues to say

If I must die

let it bring hope

let it be a tale

We must promise to keep the tale alive and to uphold the legacy of Refaat, Shayma and the 40,000 others who were murdered by Israel in its ongoing genocide.

Try as they might, but Palestine will never die.

Chapter 2: The Journey

The journey begins with a long road and too many steps.

He goes, because of course he does, and when she is done retching, he helps her to her feet, drapes her chin over his shoulder as he hikes her trousers up for her.

‘I’m not an invalid,’ she protests, but it’s meek, too quiet. She sounds defeated and he hates it.

‘I know,’ he says, ‘but you are not well.’

‘It’s just a pregnancy.’

‘Bullshit,’ Vincent says.

 He feels her swallow against his shoulder, and they do not speak again. They climb back into the car in silence, she buckles herself in, picks at a granola bar, stares out of the window as he drives. He opens a bottle of water one handed, swallows a mouthful, and extends it to her. She refuses, settles herself into her seat and closes her eyes. He turns his gaze back to the empty wild before them, and the only sound is the rumble of the road beneath them.

Day 200. This post is for the burnt out activists. There is hope. Don’t let them convince you otherwise. “It starts with Gaza.” from Lets Talk Palestine, 23/Apr/2024:

the underwhelming dense pang of sadness mixed with the loss of personal identity and opportunity that goes hand-in-hand when you're forced to live with your parents as someone well into their adult years lol

a few videos talking about some of authors in the LRB and their lukewarm to dogshit opinions on the genocide in palestine:

readers & authors - your silence on palestine speaks volumes

authors behaving badly: sarah j maas & sarah j maas: a deep dive

don't fret read books has also talked a little about rebecca yarros in his reviews of fourth wing and iron flame. bookswithzara also gets on her ass in her review of iron flame.

if anyone has more then feel free to share. people act like we're making a whole lot of something out of nothing but even being a middle of the road bitch is against the liberation of the palestinian state so.

booktube, why do you read?
