Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Palestinian poet, Dr. Refaat al-Areer, killed by Israel army in Gaza as his last haunting words go viral.
Taking to social media, it was reported by Palestinian journalists that Dr. Refaat al-Areer has been murdered.
A Hamas supporter, appearing on the BBC, has stirred controversy with his comparison of Arab terrorists to Jewish fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto. But perhaps the bigger story is the surprisingly large number of mainstream media outlets that have repeatedly given him a platform despite his record of unabashed antisemitism.
In an October 7 segment about the invasion of Israel, BBC News turned to the Gaza-based Refaat Alareer for commentary. In his remarks, Alareer called the Hamas massacres of Israeli children “legitimate and moral” and “exactly like the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.”
Refaat’s writings are filled with references to Nazis and the Holocaust. “Zionazism,” he has declared, is “the root cause of evil…around the world.” In another tweet, he wrote that “all supporters of Israel would be cheering for the Nazis in the 30s and 40s.”
