An Australian writers’ festival cut a Palestinian author in the wake of a terror attack. Then it fell apart
Abdel-Fattah faced backlash for posting “May 2025 be the end of Israel” and changing her profile picture to a picture of a Palestinian paratrooper after the 7 October attacks.
What a horrible take.
This woman is Vivian Silver:
She is a peace activist. She regularly visited Gaza to bring medications to sick kids. In 1999, she created the Arab-Jewish Centre for Equality and Cooperation.
Vivian is also one of the founders of B'Tselem, an human rights organization that defends Palestinians.
On October 7th, she was kidnapped and killed. Her house was burned down.
