Dr. Rafeh Halabi, a poet, writer, intellectual and a Druze leader from Daliyat al-Karmel in northern Israel, has published a contribution in the Kurdish magazine Afrin Times under the title "Be True to Yourself… and Never Let Anyone Extinguish Your Light."
Halabi's literary and intellectual work explores humanity, freedom, peace, social coexistence and the importance of independent thought. He has published several poetry collections and books, and has written extensively on social, cultural and humanitarian issues.
Beyond the page
Alongside his writing, Halabi has been involved in community initiatives that promote dialogue, tolerance and education, as well as support for people in need.
His appearance in a Kurdish publication places his message before another minority community of the region, under a title that speaks of authenticity and resilience.
