Coetzee declined an invitation to the Jerusalem International Writers Festival, citing Israel’s “genocidal campaign in Gaza.” "In a letter to the festival’s director, Coetzee said the scale of the war and public support for it made it impossible for Israel’s intellectual and artistic community to avoid responsibility for the atrocities in the Gaza Strip." https://mastodon.neometropolis.net/@QudsNen/116535013310909603
