In full support of and solidarity with Fady Joudah on withdrawing from Edinburgh International Book Festival “A lack of common decency is a genocide’s best friend in a cultural system that continues to endorse the genocide, I will respect my living and my dead.”

Fady Joudah @FadyJoudah
My withdrawal statement from the Edinburgh
Literary Festival.
To Whom it may concern. I have decided to withdraw from the Edinburgh festival this year over the festival's insensitive (to say the least) invitation of at least two genocide apologists during Israel's relentless extermination of the Palestinian people.
The festival knew what it was doing when it invited Keret and Pfeffer. A lack of common decency is a genocide's best friend in a cultural system that continues to endorse the genocide, I will respect my living and my dead.

The Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary say there is no genocide in Gaza. It is now clear this contradicts the government's own "long-standing policy" outlined below. When will they retract their denial of genocide?

The violence against Palestinians in the West Bank is a reminder that genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid have not ended. We will never stop opposing the occupation of Palestine because we believe in a simple and moral truth: every human being deserves to live in freedom.

I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage. Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy
