How does the Palestinian bookseller describe the treatment of literature they sell and their personal freedoms in Israel?

The Palestinian bookseller describes experiencing severe limitations on their rights and freedoms, stating they are treated 'as if I am a criminal' rather than merely a suspect. Regarding the literature they sell, they acknowledge that some books might be 'edgy' or 'opinionated,' but emphatically assert that 'none of them is inciting for violence.' Despite this, these books are apparently being flagged as incitement by Israeli authorities, suggesting an unwarranted criminalization of Palestinian cultural expression and identity through literature. This treatment reflects a broader pattern of oppression where Palestinian cultural voices are systematically suppressed under questionable security justifications.
