Queer Voices from the Fight For Palestinian Liberation Zine

This zine is a collection of writings about what it’s like to be queer and Palestinian, how Israel uses “gay friendliness” to get leftist support, what it looks like for queer and feminist organizations to *actively* support Palestine, and more. The personal stories shared in this zine are incredibly moving, and the short essays will help you to be a better informed activist for Palestinian liberation.

Proceeds from the sale of this zine go to helping our Gazan sex educator friend Mohammed flee Gaza with his family. You can see more about the fundraiser here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/gazan-family-rescue-fund

Saqi Educational Bookstore (https://www.gofundme.com/f/jerusalems-educational-bookshop-emergency-appeal)

The Educational Bookshop is a family-run, independent chain of three bookshops. Since first opening its doors forty years ago, the bookshop has survived occupation, two intifadas and a pandemic. Despite it all, they have been able to keep their doors open and are well-known to researchers, diplomats, journalists and tourists. But the challenges of the past few days have been unprecedented.

Please help us raise funds to support the Educational Bookshop. We would hugely appreciate any support you are able to give at this time. Funds will go towards:

• replacing the books that were seized during the arrest
• fixing material damages done to the bookshop
• payment to interim booksellers until Mahmoud and Ahmad are allowed to return to work (one of the terms of their release is that they can not return to bookselling for a minimum of 20 days)

At 3pm on 9 February 2025, booksellers Mahmoud and Ahmad Muna were accosted by undercover Israeli police. They were arrested at the Educational Bookshop, handcuffed and taken to prison. Over 250 books were confiscated, some of them have since been returned. Two days later, on 11 February, Mahmoud and his nephew Ahmad were released under house arrest.
