Randa Abdel-Fattah, who is Palestinian Australian, has faced criticism for controversial comments on Israel, including alleging Zionists had ‘no claim or right to cultural safety’
The author was singled out purely for being Palestinian and due to the Bondi terror attack. Which she had nothing to do with of course but it was a dog-whistle to all the bigots out there. I’m glad the other writers boycotted the event. The board should be ashamed of themselves. The event director resigned due to the interference of the board (she the one interviewed in the clip linked above) and is rightfully disgusted by what they did, and their shitty reasoning and response.

Yeah. You didn’t read the article.
Do I think her appearance should have been cancelled? No, that is ridiculous.
However, she has said and written inciteful things, to deny that is wilful or just plain ignorance.
And you clearly didn’t watch the link where that was discussed too.
