God help us authors who support Palestine and Palestine Action. Sounds like Adam would have all our books swept off the shelves in a jiffy.
Absolutely vile.
He defames Sally Rooney as antisemitic - for opposing genocide.
He smears the Irish people as a whole.
@adamboultonTABB is a nauseating disgrace

With her lonely stand for Palestine, Sally Rooney has exposed the contemporary literary world as a nest of cowards and careerists
Where are all the Doris Lessings, Harold Pinters, John Bergers, Graham Greenes, Samuel Becketts that once raised their voices against war and injustice?
Rooney stands almost alone

Tens of thousands of Palestinians displaced by the Israeli bombardment are in the streets of Rafah under the rain with no shelters, no food, no water, no sanitary facilities abd no proper clothes. This horrible war has to stop.
Tuesday 11th February 2003, tanks and 400 troops deployed at Heathrow over a "terror alert".....It was four days before London march against invasion of Iraq....The "alert" (obvs) aimed to spread fear and to support claims the Iraq war was legitimate.

3. English says the 1993 piece was just one in years of attacks by the paper on him. Conor Cruise O'Brien, Ruth Dudley Edwards and other columnists repeatedly scorned Hume. The editor adds: 'That was wrong ... we are all in his debt.'
2. English, who became the paper's editor in January this year, quotes 'Dunphy, our paper's star writer of the day' describing Hume as a 'political bomber flying over unionist heads trying to kill them'. Right of reply was refused by the paper. 2/3
An 'incendiary' attack made by Eamon Dunphy on John Hume in 1993 is at the centre of an editorial in today's Irish Sunday Independent. Alan English's editorial regrets the paper's relentless 'hammering' of Hume and his peace talks. 1/2
