Who are we?We have witnessed a chilling oppression and systemic eradication of an entire people and culture, unfolding before our eyes, while the world remains silent and complicit. This confirmation of a terrifying truth that we already know, leaves us feeling powerless yet responsible to act. In creating this archiving website, we are people standing against oblivion of a genocidal empire and its targeted terror and crimes.What is Revealstine?Revealstine (rɪˈviːlstaɪn) is a historical timeline, in tandem with a curated collection of news, social media insights, and a range of resources that hold the answers to prevalent questions and debunk the Israeli propaganda, by revealing the stifling reality that the Palestinians are living everyday. Despite, the information embargo and disconnection, let alone censorship that we encounter living in the west and using a weaponized social media.Lastly,We are living to tell a story as Refaat Alareer, a palestinian poet, writer, and English literature professor who has been targeted with his family by the IDF, wrote;
If I must die
you must live
to tell my story
to sell my things
to buy a piece of cloth and some strings,
(make it white with a long tail)
so that a child, somewhere in Gaza while looking heaven
in the eye awaiting his dad who left in a blaze—
and bid no one farewell
not even to his flesh
not even to himself—
sees the kite,
my kite you made, flying up above
and thinks for a moment an angel
is there bringing back love
If I must die
let it bring hope
let it be a tale
Refaat AlareerIf I must die
