 us for a public webinar with Ahmad Muna discussing the raid on the 
 Educational Bookshop. Last month occupation forces raided the Educational 
 Bookshop in Jerusalem, confiscated and damaged hundreds of books, and 
 arrested booksellers Mahmoud and Ahmad Muna.\n\nThe police raid follows the 
 large-scale destruction of Palestinian cultural infrastructure in Gaza, the 
 censorship of the Al-Saraya Theater before a screening of the speculative 
 documentary Lyd in Jaffa this October, and a larger history of looting and 
 confiscation of Palestinian books stretching back to the 70,000 siezed from 
 homes during the 1948 Nakba and wrongly held today under the custody of the 
 National Library of Israel as "Abandoned Property."\n\nAhmad Muna is one of 
 the owners of the Educational Bookshop, which has functioned since 1984 as 
 a cultural, political, and literary center in Jerusalem. The bookshop 
 presents a wide variety of Palestinian scholarly titles and frequently 
 hosts workshops, lectures, and educational events. He will speak with us 
 about the recent raid on the bookshop, his arrest alongside Mahmoud, and 
 the broader context of cultural repression today.\n
