Read for Refaat, "If I Must Die" in 11 Languages

We read Dr. Refaat Alareer's poem "If I Must Die" in 11 languages. Written in English in 2011, Dr. Alareer pinned the poem "If I Must Die" to his Twitter profile five weeks before his untimely death. He was killed with his family by an Israeli airstrike on December 7, 2023. He was only 45 years old.
