  1. "The central #London #bookshop at the centre of controversy last month after selling copies of #AdolfHitler’s #MeinKampf has now also been found to be selling a #book that accuses #Jews of possessing “evil qualities” and reproduces excerpts from the #Protocols of the #EldersofZion, the JC can reveal.

    #Aafaq #Bookstore in #Westminster has been found to be selling copies of So That We Do Not Forget: #Jewish Crimes - #Zionist Resentment, an #Arabic-language #book dedicated to “every martyr whose blood was shed on the land of #Palestine, #Jerusalem, and #AlAqsa”.

    The book’s first chapter describes Jews as a “people who committed great sins and possess evil qualities, thus deserving the wrath of [God]. God Almighty has mentioned their characteristics and actions in the Holy #Quran, and how He punished them, yet they did not learn a lesson. Therefore, we must know their history so that we may be wary of them… God’s victory for the believers over the Jews is inevitable.”

    Using Bookshop.org to Support Black-owned Bookstores

    1. Use the Store Locator; filter "Black-owned"; once upon a time they had a direct link, but alas no more
    2. Pick a store as recipient of your purchase subsidies; like Marcus Books
    3. Bookmark that URL in a place you will actually remember to use; Bookshop(.)org is a little tricksy and false and tries hard to forget your prefered bookshop and will divert your subsidies into the slush fund for all bookshops
    4. When buying or wishlisting books, start from the bookmark for your chosen store. Use Bookshop's own search form, not Google
    5. When ready to checkout out, start from the bookmark for your chosen store. Keep double checking during checkout. Make sure the "Thank you" / receipt page lands you back on your chosen store. Contact support if anything goes awry
