This was a truly terrifying and sickening experience for the Muna family. And the experience is not over.

Thank you for providing this conversation. I am Jewish and feel a visceral horror when I think about October 7th and when I think about the Israeli response to it. Hitler had a dream of Germany that was Judenfrei. Now trump and netanyahu (?) have a dream of Gaza that is free of Palestinians. As an American, a Jew and a Human Being I feel sadness, anger and shame. Thank you for what you do.

"Judenrein" is the term I'm familiar with, meaning cleansed, from "reinigen" to cleanse or to purify. This certainly reminds me of attacks on Jewish-German institutions during the Nazi era.

Thank you for sharing this interview. I've been to the Bookstore several times and always find something I have not seen before. Happy to contribute.

It really makes me sick the way Palestinians are treated like playthings, worse than animals, by ignorant thugs sponsored by US tax dollars and political support. If Americans had ANY idea what was being done in their name, they would revolt. But it is kept carefully away from them.

I wrote a book about living in Ramallah for two years (and visiting Gaza twice) that's free to download from my website. Please feel free to download it and pass it on: https://pamolson.org

I was amused by the caption rendering ISBN as "ice cream." And I sent some money.

I thought we Jews were "people of the book." Not those cops!

Just donated. Blessings to you. So sorry that you were subjected to that dehumanizing and hate-filled/hateful experience. May your bookstore thrive!
