Update from Jerusalem: the Educational Bookshop was once again raided by Israeli Police about an hour ago. Police confiscated books, arrested an employee and shut down the bookshop.
I wrote about the Educational bookshop, and why the ugly and ridiculous attack on its owners matters. I don't know Mahmoud Muna personally but I heard him a few times and he always struck me as one of Jerusalem's most inspiring intellectuals.

Why Israel’s Raid on a Palestinian Bookshop Matters
The real threat posed by detained booksellers Mahmoud and Ahmad Muna is their willingness to engage with Jewish-Israelis amid a state narrative that presents all Palestinians as terrorists

Last year we marked #Valentines4Palestine in store, in solidarity with bookstores across the UK. Palestinian writers still need support: donate via the gfm, share this post, read their books.
A year ago, UK indie bookshops held events to raise money for the PEN Emergency Fund to support writers at risk who are in and from Palestine. #Valentines4Palestine

Thanks to your help, we raised over £15k – but we still need your support. Donate here ⤵️

Can't believe it's a year since the incredible coming-together of so many indie bookstores, publishers, writers & readers. Can('t) believe & can't stand that there's still such risk for writers in & from Palestine. Donate, share this thread, read Palestinian writers & follow @englishpen.bsky.social

You can support the Educational Bookshop! @saqibooks.bsky.social have set up a gfm, give it a share / donate, help replace damaged books, repair the shop & cover interim booksellers while Mahmoud & Ahmad are (unfairly, infuriatingly) under house arrest.

I'm so delighted to see SAFIYYAH'S WAR on the @burleyfisher.bsky.social books of the year - it's the best children's book I've read this year! I think there should be a copy in every classroom & library around the country - it would prompt very interesting discussions. And adults should read it too!
Winner of The Week Junior Book Award 2024, SAFFIYAH'S WAR by Hiba Noor Khan (Andersen) #BOTY #KidLit

So says: Safiyyah is a schoolgirl in Paris in 1940 – but this is not like any WWII novel you’ve read before. Unbelievably gripping & beautifully written debut.
