π΅πΈ The legacy of Dr. Refaat Alareer
We are devastated by Israel's murder of our dear colleague, friend and mentor Dr. Refaat Alareer in Gaza City on 6 December 2023. Throughout this genocide, Refaat never stopped writing, supporting his students and bringing Gaza's voice to the world. We will make sure it continues to be heard.
This is an excerpt from the EI livestream on 20 November 2023, during which executive director Ali Abunimah, writer and scholar Yousef M. Aljamal and Palestinian novelist Ahmed Masoud talk about the incalculable impact Alareer has had on his students in Gaza.

π΅πΈ GHASSAN KANAFANI - Artists | Dalloul Art Foundation Beirut
A journalist and a novelist, Kanafani also produced #drawings and #paintings. Much like his writings, his artworks also address the Palestinian cause and the suffering of its people, depicting figurative and partially abstract Palestinian refugees using pale, expressive colors. Also, his works include cityscapes and Arabic #Calligraphy that also endorse the right of freedom for his native country. On July 8, 1972, Kanafani was murdered by a bomb planted in his car by Israelβs #Mossad spy agency in Beirut, where he is buried. Considered one of the most important Palestinian writers, his works were translated in into 17 languages and published in more than 20 countries.

π΅πΈ Ghassan Kalafani | Palestine Poster Project Archive
Kanafaniβs revolutionary journey began with the Arab Nationalist Movement but was cut short due to his disillusionment with its Pan-Arab agendas, which blurred and scattered the Palestinian identity in the process of creating a unified Arab geographical and political continuum.
It is by becoming a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) in 1967 and especially helped by being the founder/editor of the widely circulated weekly Al-Hadaf, that Ghassan Kanafani transcended Arabism to Palestinianism.
Note : he was also the author of some of the very early FPLP posters (1968/69/70) & Paintings - Drawings
