Jumia Books Erasing Palestine: Free Speech and Palestinian Freedom  by Rebecca Gould 

"Erasing Palestine: Free Speech and Palestinian Freedom" by Rebecca Gould is a detailed and personal examination of the ways in which accusations of antisemitism have been used to silence pro-Palestinian voices and undermine Palestine solidarity, especially within university and public bureaucracies. The book begins with Gould's own experience of being accused of antisemitism based on her writings while living in occupied Palestine, highlighting how free speech around Palestine is disproportionately targeted.

Gould critiques broad definitions of antisemitism, such as the IHRA, advocating instead for a "materialist" approach that focuses on the lived experiences of racism and discrimination rather than political alignments. She draws on Jewish Marxist intellectuals to argue for a deeper understanding of antisemitism in its social and political context, suggesting this approach helps fight true racism while protecting free speech and Palestinian voices.
