How are Palestinian books being censored in bookstores?

Palestinian books are being systematically censored through a process where individuals examine bookstore shelves and flag specific content for removal. Any book containing references to the Palestinian national movement, refugees, political parties representing Palestine, or using terms like 'Nakba' is immediately set aside as a potential case of 'incitement.' This targeted censorship reflects a broader effort to suppress Palestinian cultural expression and historical narrative, effectively removing literature that represents Palestinian identity and political perspective from public access.
