The Book Planters is a non-profit organisation using literary resistance to fight for a free Palestine. Our Planting Team independently sources and funds the book seeds we plant, at no cost to service users, to increase public awareness of:

• The forced displacement of indigenous Palestinian people from their land by Zionists in 1948
• The decades-long occupation of Palestine by Israel
• Israel’s associated violence, brutality, and war crimes against the Palestinians, recently culminating in a mass genocide of Gaza’s population

To this end The Book Planters expects continued and free circulation of any and all planted book seeds by service users, and will not be held liable for any financial profiteering made by third parties against the spirit of the organisation.

Our team only selects book seeds for planting that are both historically accurate and in line with organisation aims and values. These endorsed works are listed below and this page will be updated before new titles are planted. Whilst it is true there are many other books of equal importance in existence, on the topic of Palestine, The Book Planters does not endorse the contents of titles not listed on this page. As such The Book Planters will not be held liable if organisation stickers are found on alternative works or narratives.
