Following the Bondi terrorism attack and in a misjudged attempt to please Zionists, the Adelaide Writers' Festival "disinvited" Palestinian Australian author Randa Abdel-Fattah. Because she's Palestinian.

In the resulting kerfuffle, three board members and the Festival chairperson have resigned, a major sponsor has withdrawn and more than fifty contributors have pulled out of the festival. The latest to cancel is Dame Jacinda Ardern.
