Sitti's Bird
“Children’s books—particularly picture books—that tackle the subject of war in sensitive and reassuring ways are rare … In Sitti’s Bird: A Gaza Story, the Palestinian painter Malak Mattar creates a slice-of-life narrative that explores how painting helped her overcome the fear and isolation she experienced during Israel’s invasion of Gaza in 2014. The tension between Mattar’s naïve, fanciful paintings and her naturalistic, moment-by-moment storytelling underscores the value of creativity during times of crisis.” —The New York Times Book Review, Teaching Young Children About War Without Frightening Them”

T-shirt
This is the most urgent message that needs to emphasize in this moment. A genocide is happening and it is directly enabled by the Biden administration. This shirt redirects our focus to where we can actually make a difference. If we can stop the US from supporting this genocide, for example by ceasing arms shipments and financial and diplomatic backing, this genocide would stop tomorrow. Designed by Nidal Elkhairy, renowned Palestinian designer. The back has a QR code that leads to Austin for Palestine Coalition's website, featuring links to resources and action items! 50% of profit on this shirt is sent to UNRWA or the Stop Gaza Starvation campaign run by the Union of Agricultural Work Committees. We rotate the recipients; since the US withdrawal of support to UNRWA, we are now focusing more on them.

The One-State Solution - A Breakthrough for Peace in the Israeli-Palestinian Deadlock
The One-State Solution demonstrates that Israeli settlements have already encroached on the occupied territory of the West Bank and Gaza Strip to the extent that any Palestinian state in those areas is unviable. It reveals the irreversible impact of Israel’s settlement grid by summarizing its physical, demographic, financial, and political dimensions. Virginia Tilley explains why we should assume that this grid will not be withdrawn—or its expansion reversed—by reviewing the role of the key political actors: the Israeli government, the United States, the Arab states, and the European Union. Finally, the book addresses the daunting obstacles to a one-state solution—including major revision of the Zionist dream but also Palestinian and other regional resistance—and offers some ideas about how those obstacles might be addressed.
The Palestinian Refugees, 1948-1998 (An Oral History)
"These camps are not fit for human life. Each house is stuck to the next. And every one hears each other. This means we have no privacy. And we lose our ability to treat each other kindly. It is all disturbing. We may as well be dead. But death is a peace we are unable to reach." Testimony from Yusra Mustafa Jubara, Camp #1, Nablus.
