Why are the closures of two bookshops in Jerusalem so controversial?

Israel has sparked anger after closing two well-known bookshops in East Jerusalem.

Israeli officers claimed the retailers have been inciting violence.

The males who ran the retailers have been arrested and charged with inciting terrorism, later diminished to a public order offence.
