This bookshop specializes in a wide-ranging collection focusing on Palestinian history, culture, conflict, and identity. • About eight months ago, the bookshop was raided twice by Israeli authorities, with 300 books confiscated, arrests made, and temporary closures imposed. • Confiscations were based on covers, keywords (“Palestine”, “apartheid”, “Gaza”, etc.), images (flags, graffiti), and superficial translations; many titles were misidentified or misunderstood by authorities unfamiliar with Arabic or English. • Some books, including critical works or even Israeli newspapers, were seized due to misunderstandings.

Palestinian Activist Featured in Oscar-Winning ‘No Other Land’ Killed while clutching his six month old son in his village on West Bank by a Zionist settler. The settler was not charged and the murder weapon was returned.

Palestinian activist Awdah Hathaleen, who featured in the Oscar-winning documentaryNo Other Land, has been gunned down and killed in the West Bank adjoining Israel.

Yuval Abraham, who co-directed the film with Palestinian filmmaker Basel Adra, claimed on his X page that Israeli settler Yinon Levi had shot Hathaleen, who is also known as Odeh Hadalin and is from the West Bank community of Masafer Yatta.

“An Israeli settler just shot Odah Hadalin in the lungs, a remarkable activist who helped us film No Other Land in Masafer Yatta. Residents identified Levi, sanctioned by the EU and U.S., as the shooter.”
