I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SAY THIS, BUT YAY FOR RANDOM PENGUIN:  Palestine book by Alana Hadid and Jenan Matari pulled from Random House before release. Authors withdraw book planned for young readers after disputes with editors over characterizations of 7 October.

As for the authors, all enthusiastic about the Neolithic atrocities of October 7? I’m a fair woman. May it be done onto them as they admire. (What? Sometimes Team Heads on Pikes gets loud in the back of my mind.)
