On my non-participation
Dear Resetdoc,
In an interview with Ernesto Ferrero posted on your website, the director of the Turin Book Fair 2008 mentions that I had been invited to the fair, but declines to state that I strongly rejected the invitation. In no way would I take part in an event which legitimises Israel's settler-colonial occupation, and the repression of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip; least of all on an occasion which marks the dispossession and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.
Best
Jamil Hilal
