U.S. publisher slams Oxford bookshop’s Israel boycott

Charles Davis sent in This One on an Oxford bookshop which is boycotting Israeli publishers.

The Crossing Press in Berkley, California, describes this as behaving in a
\”totalitarian\” way equivalent to burning books.
Jo-Ann Deck, publisher for describes
the ban on Israeli publishers recently issued by the Inner Bookshop in Oxford as
a \”terrible tragedy\” that damages the notion of free speech.
But Anthony Cheke, co-owner of the Inner Bookshop, says that despite the
barrage of criticism and \”spate of hate-mail\” he has received since the boycott
began, he and his staff have no plans to back down.
