Israeli Forces Raid East Jerusalem Bookseller and Seize Books Critical of Occupation

HeadlineFeb 11, 2025

In occupied East Jerusalem, Israeli forces raided two locations of the Educational Bookshop, a beloved cultural hub that was established more than four decades ago. Israeli soldiers detained Palestinian owners Ahmad and Mahmoud Muna and seized hundreds of books on Palestine, including an English-language coloring book for children titled “From the River to the Sea” and “Gaza in Crisis” by Noam Chomsky and Israeli scholar Ilan Pappé. We’ll have more on this later in the broadcast with acclaimed Palestinian poet and journalist Mohammed El-Kurd.
