Exactly this. It’s not just the abject racism and denigration of Palestinian life, it’s the demand for care and for the perpetrators and supporters of genocide so they feel safe and supported. What a travesty.
This may be the first genocide where the perpetrators and their supporters openly push to annihilate and starve a people while demanding validation, acceptance, inclusion, safe spaces, and lived experience affirmation.

According to the latest official report, at least 45 writers and artists had been killed in Gaza since Oct. 7, and 32 cultural centres and 12 museums had been destroyed. The actual toll is believed to be far higher. https://t.co/9oF0lGeXJk.

One year ago, I spoke to Sarah Polley, Wanda Nanibush and Ibrahim Abusitta about why it's imperative that Canadian artists to speak out about the dozens of poets, writers and painters killed by Israel's war on Gaza. (@TPFF) https://t.co/lz2UH70W7a

The momentum is growing. Over 100 federal candidates have endorsed the #PalestinePlatform. Canadian politicians are understanding that it's time to concede to the demands of the people. Have your candidates endorsed the platform? https://t.co/0N8XdYPBDV

Dorgham Qreaiqea, a young artist in Gaza we've been talking to for an art show in NYC, was murdered last night with his family during Israel's genocidal bombing. Lets celebrate his life, artwork, and the aid work for children he organized so he can live on. Glory to the martyrs💔
🚨BREAKING: Palestinian artist Dirgham Quraikah and all 30 members of his family were killed in a missile strike targeting their home in Gaza City.

legacy media refuses to write about the ways the culture sector is materially invested in Palestinian death, and has instead churned a year + of these asinine articles about "discord" and "division" in arts communities https://t.co/FRTpuQD1ar
theglobeandmail.com
The war has divided arts groups and arts workers, leaving leaders walking on eggshells as they attempt to balance freedom of expression with a desire to protect community members

"I’m painfully aware that every time I talk about our shortcomings when covering Palestine...I lose 'credibility.' I silently agreed not to talk about Palestine in exchange for a 'viable' career in journalism. No longer." My @TorontoStar op-ed today:

In order to confront what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank, we must be able to talk about it.

Dozens of Canadian authors have called on the @GillerPrize to cut ties with Scotiabank and other sponsors invested in the occupation of Palestine. In private emails viewed by the Star, the Giller's director described the campaign as "pure antisemitism." https://t.co/tBksaY3SUP
