A Date With A Literary Scholar (Refaat Alareer) by Ramdan Faudzi

A Date With a Literary Scholar

~ Refaat Alareer ~


~ Elits with Refaat Alareer ~



   21 October 2013 marked the day that open our eyes about the reality that people always do the opposite, denying the fact that it is inhuman. Palestine, the land of promises for certain religion where people, man, women, the old, children were killed without mercy. The brutality that oppressed the native people and threw them out of their birthplace where their blood spilled just trying to stand their ground. Mr.Refaat told us the situation when he was in Malaysia, and back in Gaza(Palestine) his family was about to get involve in the war when Israel play to attack Gaza. If we where in his position what would we do? Can we do something about it when we were hundred miles away from a place called home. It is a very critical time for him. He also Told us about his experience plucking the Olives from their tree, one by one, using their hand with care, with his family. He also make a poem out of it. I also ask him a question about how was it like in Palestine especially Gaza before the attacking took place and he replied that it was a simple life were everybody doing the same thing to live their life like the rest of the world. Plus, it was the land of agriculture. I learn a lot about Palestine and about the poem he wrote which he usually and like to use metaphor and simile. It is a experience that change me and grateful to live in a peaceful country.



The View from Above.
From our right we can see the the declining of Palestine land that was took over by the Israel Laknatullah since 1946 till today.



The Terror Tunnel | Tunnel of Victory


   We were told by Mr.Refaat about a tunnel that is connected from Gaza to Egypt and was their only way out of Gaza because the other was bordered with Israel's defenses. But i found out that there is one more tunnel built and this is the journal about it. 

   The Israelis was shocked by the discovery of an underground tunnel. A handmade border crossing from Khan Younis, up to the illegal Israeli settlements. The Tunnel was found near one of their kindergarten. The discovery of this tunnel causing fear to the people of Israel because it shows the "muqawamah" that means the Palestine defense is able to achieve a high level offensive strategy against the Zionist regime.

   Israel initially estimated that the length of the tunnel are around 2-3 km long, but mashaAllah, it is very long. And this handmade tunnels using over 500 tons of construction material, composed of cement and steel. So the Israelis are determined to block the passage of getting into Khan Younis again. The Israelis acknowledge that this tunnel was built by someone who is skilled in the art of construction.

   As for the Palestinians themselves, the discovery of this tunnel is commendable because it shows the strength possessed by their muqawamah lineup. Despite of what happened in their daily life, the people of Gaza still able to produce an extraordinary architecture that cultivates fear and terror in the enemy and so then named it "the Tunnel of Terror".
