A life-affirming and thought-provoking read in the face of such seemingly gratuitous barbarity. Thank you Avigail.

Before reading it I had just finished watching The Australian War on BBC iPlayer, about the never acknowledged but actual war waged by the British colonisers of Australia against its indigenous Aborigines, and the latter's attempts to fight back. Your piece also speaks to that abusive relationship, which sadly still echoes to this day in the attitude of far too many "White Australians" (as exemplified by the result of their recent referendum). Thanks again.

Oh wow Avigail! So beautiful and resonant. I think that it very important to educate people about Israel's attacks on cultural figures because it helps explain the nature of what they are doing.
