Amazing how peer solidarity - & threats of defamation - can open closed minds

Report: An Adelaide festival (in Australia) apologised to author Randa Abdel-Fattah after peer solidarity & a defamation notice related to her exclusion.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/15/australian-writers-festival-apologises-to-palestinian-author-after-boycott

The festival had excluded Abdel-Fattah for no other reason than being Palestinian after the Bondi massacre.

The festival itself collapsed when 180 writers withdrew in solidarity.
