December 2, 2025 (Al Jazeera English) – German book retailer Hugendubel has removed a colouring book for children that narrates the Palestinian story from its shelves, as the country continues to face criticism that it is stifling Palestinian voices.
The book, From the River to the Sea, by South African illustrator and author Nathi Ngubane, was removed “immediately after” Hugendubel became “aware of its existence”, the retailer said.
Germany has shut down pro-Palestinian events and cracked down on activists and human rights experts denouncing Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza that has killed more than 70,000 people since October 2023.
