Yeah good,
After using a picture of a paraglider holding a Palestinian flag as her Facebook photo, you’d think no one would touch her. But here we are.
The Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan was unavailable. But at least the speech will be the same.
How good. I thought the book was excellent and timely
Huge credit to the board for giving her a platform knowing how the government will respond. They may need ear plugs should they get a call from the Premier. Can politicians avoid trashing another cultural institution on behalf of a government carrying out a genocyde? Fingers crossed.
**Randa Abdel-Fattah**.
Come on! Why is it so hard to copy a person’s name correctly?
Oh, good, more excuses for Mossad Minns to run his mouth. This will be fun to watch.
ohhhhhhh thats interesting
She was invited last year. The program has just been announced.
This is what he said about Newcastle Writers Festival inviting her two weeks ago, so guess it’ll be more of the same
“ Mr Minns said on Friday he did not agree with the Newcastle Writers Festival’s decision to book the author, but he would not intervene.
“I don’t know why these organisations do it,” he said.
“I think they are crazy to invite that author when you think about how divisive it is, and how difficult it would be for the organisation as a result of the notoriety.””
This is going to sell out instantly but be a hot mess to attend.
Anyone want to argue she didn’t celebrate oct 7 when it was already clear many people died? She said that, regardless of being a regional expert, she didnt know the extent of it when posting a sympathetic paraglider on oct 8. She clearly did….Im no regional expert but knew dozens of civilians had died from the the first headlines hours after oct 7. Stand behind your opinions if you sympathise with hamas, the weasel words that some in the protest crowd use are not fooling anyone.
I’m not a fan of the minns israel cuck/ usa politician cosplay act either. I think she should be invited to festivals as a hedge against that free speech oppresion and cancel culture, if nothing else. I don’t think people should listen to her though.
