The Gaza conflict is making its way into the Book Fair in Gothenburg which begins on Thursday. Two conversations have been renamed after strong reactions to the original headings.

It is about two conversations arranged by the Sweden-Israel Friendship Association, which initially had the headings "The fabricated famine in Gaza" and "Unrwa – the link between terror and the UN?".

When the headings were noticed in both social media and the newspaper Dagens ETC, the conversations were renamed, writes Dagens Nyheter.

We have had contact with the Friendship Association from the Book Fair because we also reacted to these headings, says the Book Fair's CEO Oskar Ekström to the newspaper.

The new headings for the conversations will now be "What happens to all the aid to Gaza's inhabitants?" and "How does Unrwa work?". The conversations will be led by the Israel-based author and guide Christina Toledano Åsbrink.
