Free Palestine! – A Reading List

At Pluto Press, we support the rights of Palestinians resisting an illegal occupation and apartheid regime imposed by the Israeli government. We also reject Western complicity and the funding of Israel’s military.

We continue to publish Palestinian, Israeli and other voices on the painful but vital history and future of the region, which has become an epicentre of modern-day colonial politics. We will not stop raising these voices as long as the Palestinian people are oppressed.

Free Palestine!
