LOS ANGELES, December 10 (IslamOnline & News Agencies) - The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights organization is protesting a newly released novel written by a teenage Egyptian author who lives with her family in Italy.

Rêver la Palestine (Dream of Palestine) is a story of a Palestinian who carries out a resistance operation against the Israelis.

According to a statement on the center’s website, the story “sympathetically portrays a young Palestinian who becomes a suicide bomber” and speaks about Palestinian teenagers who fight “bloodthirsty Jews, who assassinate children and old people, profane mosques, and rape Arab women.”

The book was released by Flammarion, the third largest publishing house in France, a subsidiary of the Italian media giant Rizzoli Corriere della Sera.

In the story, one of the novel’s heroes calls for Jihad against the Jews who are “a doomed people” and encourages people to “kill all Israelis.”

The main character is encouraged “to kill hundreds in his suicide bombing” and later does blow himself up along with five Israelis, the Center said.

The Wiesenthal Center has launched a campaign against the book, urging Amazon.fr (France), Amazon.de (Germany) and other French online websites to stop selling the book which they claim is “full of libelous accusations and which clearly incites racist violence and validates terrorism.”

Additionally, the Center has also launched a protest to Flammarion, the third largest publishing house in France and over 20,000 protests have been sent through the Center’s website.

According to Saudi newspaper Asharq Al Awsat, which contacted Flammarion, an official at the publishing house said that they are receiving daily threats and hate calls over the phone as well as on e-mail and regular mail.
