@ArchaeoIain@archaeo.social ironically, that same author was calling for a pro-Israel author to be disinvited from the same festival just two years ago.
“Two years ago, Abdel-Fattah signed a letter urging the festival board to cancel its invitation to New York Times author Thomas Friedman to the 2024 AWW, because of comments he had made about the Middle East”

@inti@archaeo.social it is ironic isn't it. But did you read what Friedman wrote? FAR worse than anything Abdel-Fattah wrote. AND the AWW did NOT disinvite him.
