harrowing - there is no such thing as a "two state solution" here; the only 
just solution is one where palestine is free utterly and totally - from settler colonialists of any kind.

Shame of the Frankfurt Book Festival and the book community at large for the decision to go back on Adania Shibli's promised recognition, especially at such a critical time in history.

Down with settler colonialism and its need for death.
