The SBI is now claiming that its August 20 public meeting was postponed due to the June 14 murder of state Rep. Melissa Hortman & her husband. This is a disingenuous exploitation of a tragedy to avoid growing public calls for Minnesota divestment from Israel.

A detailed and heartbreaking report on how Israel systematically destroyed Gaza’s bookstores, printing presses, and publishing houses. It turned centers of learning and knowledge production into ruins and ashes.

Please share widely.

Institute for Palestine Studies @palestinestudies.bsky.social · Jul 14

Israel destroyed Gaza’s printing presses, publishing houses, and bookstores. These were homes to memory, knowledge, and cultural continuity. Ink and manuscripts turned to ash. Presses were silenced mid-sentence.
