Adelaide Festival board resigns and Adelaide Writers’ Week cancelled after 180 authors pull out in protest of Zionist board decision to disinvite Palestinian author.

Remember this, if you’re a Zionist: like the Nazis before you, you are committing genocide, you are on the wrong side of history, and – as long as there are people of good moral character and conscience to oppose you – you will not succeed. Your only allies are the MAGAs of the world and those too spineless to stand up to them and to fascism. And your entire movement that conflates support for settler colonialism, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and genocide with being Jewish is fundamentally antisemitic, an affront to Jews who oppose Zionism, and makes Jews everywhere less safe.

@aral Nah, they're still feeling sorry for themselves.

If the Adelaide Writers Festival debacle has taught us anything, it’s this:

Antisemitism is near saturation point in Australia’s academic left.

@aral what a shame that our media seems to never allow anyone to say this out loud…
