How are Palestinian cultural materials and literature being censored?

Palestinian cultural materials face severe censorship through systematic targeting of books related to Palestinian identity. The bookseller describes how authorities search through shelves, removing any book with connections to the Palestinian national movement. Books containing references to flags, refugees, political parties, or words representing Palestinian identity are specifically targeted for removal. This censorship occurs alongside broader humanitarian issues, including harassment, violence, and poor living conditions that the speaker describes as 'beyond description.' This represents a deliberate attempt to suppress Palestinian cultural expression and national identity through the control of literature.
