You should all follow the Jerusalem Post because in the middle of everything it will suddenly come up with an unhinged bubble take like this that makes you blink
In Oct 2024 we launched DAYBREAK IN GAZA. Up to Dec 2025, thanks to @saqibooks.bsky.social, our book raised >$30,000 USD to be spent in Gaza by @medicalaidpal.bsky.social. It’s a tiny fraction of what is needed by those undergoing genocide. Profits from every sale continue to be donated to MAP
To have a personally dedicated and signed copy of FINDING ALADDIN delivered to you (or someone else!) on publication day, 12 November, the wonderful Lighthouse Bookshop @lighthousebks.bsky.social can make all your wishes come true... Details here: lighthousebookshop.com/book/9781805...

Artist & activist Shaden Qous explaining the history of her Afro-Palestinian community in the Old City of Jerusalem. I quoted her father Musa, who sadly died in Feb, in my 2022 book NINE QUARTERS OF JERUSALEM. Israeli authorities unjustly arrested Shaden for incitement, charges are still pending
Tel Aviv terminal 1 literally empty yesterday. Took me 9 minutes from kerbside to airside (I tick all their disgusting racial profiling boxes, unlike many). Houthi win
