Of course Dr Adler could have reissued the invitation and challenged the board. What were the threats?

@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” https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/adelaide-writers-week-is-in-disarray-how-did-it-reach-this-point/ar-AA1U4a2T
