The Government’s invitation for President Herzog to visit must be rescinded - it will cause immense distress to many who have lost relatives in Gaza. This is a time to build social cohesion not blow it out of the water ! 💦

I want Albanese to tell us what the Israeli President who signs bombs that blow up Palestinian families and denies civilian status to Palestinian children has to do with an “attack on all Australians”. In his own words. I’ll wait.

Correction, ABC News's Rollason is based in London. Seems she flew to Israel, then travelled to Meitar, a small Israeli settlement in Arab southern Israel, specifically for the dead body return story.

this is not an isolated quote. The Liberal Party has clearly chosen Islamophobia and zionist narrative for its comms strategy again today. More from Bragg:
“one minority feels so threatened they live in cages. Where does it end? It never ends with the Jews.”

Interesting piece on how the arts have disappeared from BBC television – very similar echoes at the ABC theconversation.com/the-bbc-once...
The BBC once made the arts ‘utterly central’ to television – 100 years later they’re almost invisible
After British television was established in 1926, it went on to foster a productively rich relationship with the arts, but coverage has seriously declined this century.

In Minnesota, Alex Pretti was shot 10 times from close range AFTER being disarmed. It was not even an execution; it was an orgy of violence by a large group of men on one victim. The US executive government has descended into depravity.

Front Groups working with Zionist actors are promoting Islamophobia
Australian front groups have been working to promote the idea that the Greens make many cultural identities less safe. It's - loosely - part of a global Islamophobia industry.

Full Adelaide Festival statement:
![The Adelaide Festival Corporation published a statement [...]
We retract that statement. We have reversed the decision and will reinstate Dr Abdel-Fattah’s invitation to speak at the next Adelaide Writers’ Week in 2027. We apologise to Dr Abdel-Fattah unreservedly for the harm the Adelaide Festival Corporation has caused her.
Intellectual and artistic freedom is a powerful human right. Our goal is to uphold it, and in this
instance Adelaide Festival Corporation fell well short.
[...]
The new Adelaide Festival Board would like to reassure the people of South Australia it is thoroughly
committed to the successful delivery of Adelaide Festival 2026.
We wish to apologise to Louise Adler AM that the incredible program she had worked hard to
curate for 2026 has been cancelled as a result of the events that have unfolded over the last week
after the announcement of the decision to rescind the invitation to Dr Abdel-Fattah. We acknowledge
the principled stand she took in the extremely difficult decision to resign from her role as Director.
Louise is a revered figure of Australian literature who we hold in the highest regard. Her
contributions to, and stewardship of, Adelaide Writers’ Week in the time she has been the Director
(2023 – 2025) have been outstanding. We wish also to convey the warm affection of the staff for
Louise and their gratitude for her strong convictions.
The Board has decided that the former decision to establish a subcommittee of the Board to review
Adelaide Writers’ Week operational decisions is rescinded. We commit to the curatorial
independence of the Director of Adelaide Writers’ Week while noting the Board’s overarching
responsibility for a well-delivered event of the highest quality.
We understand that many in the community are urging reconsideration of the cancellation of
Adelaide Writers’ Week in 2026. While we fervently share that desire, our informed assessment of
the situation is that it is simply no longer viable for it to proceed.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zzktdgdwa2eh4yerfvqhquar/bafkreib2pvze5prfbzbrrooyvzhdumxg3jfydynncz2pafl2iyhu3tmwd4@jpeg)
