The article discusses Mohammed El-Kurd's new book, 'Perfect Victims', which examines Palestinian resistance amid growing censorship and violence against Palestinian voices. The backdrop of the book’s release highlights significant incidents, such as the Israeli police raids on a Palestinian bookstore, reflecting broader repression faced by Palestinian expression. El-Kurd articulates the challenge of presenting Palestinian narratives in a way that resonates with Western audiences without losing authenticity or power, emphasizing the tensions that exist when trying to appeal to international sympathies. His work sheds light on painful histories of displacement and the ongoing struggle against occupation.
"Censorship of Palestinian narratives has intensified, making the publication of books like Perfect Victims not just a literary act, but a political one."
