Australian Library Reinstates Controversial Book After Public Outcry
Waverley Library in Sydney has returned the book "How to Sell a Genocide" to its shelves after an earlier removal prompted by a complaint. The decision to reinstate the book, which is critical of Israel, followed a public campaign and a letter from the State Library of New South Wales outlining legal parameters. The book had been taken down for review after a Jewish news outlet reported on its presence at the library.
