Ṣumūd is taken from the anthology On this land, there is what deserves to live. 17 Writers for Palestine , published by Le Seuil, 2025
This book brings together seventeen contributions from French, Palestinian, or Franco-Palestinian writers. To give a voice to the victims and refuse to remain silent while Gaza starves. To express our collective outrage at the fate of the Palestinian people. To affirm, in the words of Mahmoud Darwish, that “on this land, there is something that deserves to live. It was called Palestine. It is now called Palestine.”
Royalties are paid to Médecins du Monde.
