Apparently The Advertiser has published a pay-walled hit-piece calling the Palestinian author a 'Hypocrite' claiming she tried to have a Jewish pro-israeli author removed, here are the real facts:
A Pro-Israeli Jewish author talking about supporting genocide is VERY different from a Palestinian author talking about her real life factual experiences as a victim.
Very clearly in those instances the pro-israeli genocide-supporter _SHOULD_ be removed, NOT the victims.
If news outlets and government agencies can't understand that then they've lost the plot.
Some information on the pro-israeli jewish author she is claimed to have wanted removed:
"Friedman has been criticized by organizations such as Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting for defending Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon as a form of 'educating' Israel's opponents; according to FAIR, Friedman was explicitly endorsing terrorism by Israel against Lebanese and Palestinians. Journalist Glenn Greenwald and professor Noam Chomsky also accused Friedman of endorsing and encouraging terrorism by Israeli forces.
Political reporter Belen Fernandez heavily critiques Friedman's commentary regarding Israel. Among other criticisms, Fernandez singles out Friedman's suggestion that Israeli forces were unaware that their allied Lebanese militias carried out the Sabra and Shatila massacre while under their guard, contradicting the assessments of other journalists and observers; his encouragement of strong-armed force by the Israeli army against Palestinians; and his opposition to settlements only on the grounds that they are counter-productive, rather than because they violate international law or cause suffering for Palestinians. Fernandez suggests that Friedman is most worried about successfully maintaining Israel's Jewish ethnocracy and actively opposing a 'one-man, one-vote' system of democracy."

No surprise that 'The Advertiser' is owned by News Corp, the well-known pro-israeli *media* outlet.. I guess they didn't count on someone actually fact checking them, again..
