Solidarity with Palestine: reading and resource list

Image with the text "resource list" at the center, and a combination of images in the background: of the Whose Knowledge? Logo in green, red, white and black with different phrases. One reads ‘No genocide’, another reads ‘Solidarity’ and another has watermelon artwork and the word ‘Palestine’ in Arabic.
