We lost a giant.

How do we adequately mourn the passing of the remarkable artist Suliman Mansour — a master whose work spoke through colour, earth, memory, identity, and humanity?

For decades, his distinctive and deeply moving art carried a rare combination of warmth, intensity, harmony, and meaning. Beyond his extraordinary artistic legacy, Mansour was a father, a friend, a mentor, and a generous humanist who inspired generations and helped shape the field he so profoundly enriched.

His art will continue to speak volumes — quietly, powerfully, and unmistakably Palestinian.

Our deepest condolences to his family, friends, students, and to all who had the privilege of knowing him and being touched by his work.

Rest in peace, ya Sliman. May your colours remain forever alive.

The Muna family,
and on behalf of all the friends of the bookshop.

We mourn with heavy hearts the passing of Hidaya Abu Al-Haj Al-Dajani, a visionary educator and a pillar of our people. A grand tree of Jerusalem has fallen, yet her roots remain forever unbroken. As a dedicated trustee of the Dar Al-Tifl Al-Arabi Organization, she devoted her life to sustaining quality education. Through her dedication to the heritage museum, she not only protected our past but also empowered future generations, preserving the identity of the city. She will forever remain an inspiring legacy. Our deepest condolences go out to her family, loved ones, and colleagues. May her soul find eternal rest and peace.

Eid al-Adha begins tomorrow, so the bookshop will be closed for a couple of days.
Fun fact 🤓 Known as the “Festival of Sacrifice,” it is rooted in a tradition of sharing: the meat from the sacrificed animal is typically divided into three parts—family, extended relatives, and those in need within the wider society—making it one of the world’s largest annual acts of communal giving. In many places today, families instead donate the equivalent value to charity rather than performing the physical act of animal sacrifice.

A little quiz for those who have lived or worked in Jerusalem: this photograph dates to around 1950 and appears to show a Jordanian military or police checkpoint. Can you identify the location?

In his seminal novella Men in the Sun (1962), Ghassan Kanafani offered a powerful allegory of the Palestinian experience—displacement, loss, and the relentless search for life beyond reach. Three men, chasing the fragile promise of survival, perish unseen inside a sealed water tank, their final moments swallowed by the desert’s indifferent sun.

Yesterday, a horrifying video surfaced showing approximately sixty Palestinian workers folded into the hollow belly of a garbage truck at a checkpoint in the West Bank—risking their lives for the mere possibility of reaching work and earning a livelihood. This is not an echo of literature; it is its confirmation. More than sixty years later, Kanafani’s warning endures: when dignity and livelihoods are denied, people are pushed into spaces unfit for human life. The tragedy is not symbolic—it is structural, ongoing, and entirely real.

For years now, we have witnessed a growing body of literature on the Theology of Liberation, rooting belief in the struggle for justice, dignity, and the steadfast refusal of erasure. This Easter, in a time of war and bloodshed, these books remind us that faith, at its truest, stands with the oppressed and insists on life against all odds.
