  4. “I am shocked and disgusted,” #ArundhatiRoy wrote, adding that she believed “artists, writers and filmmakers should be doing everything in their power to stop” the war in #Gaza.

    “Let me say this clearly: what has happened in Gaza, what continues to happen, is a genocide of the #Palestinian people by the State of #Israel,” she wrote.

    Thank you Arundhati Roy for standing up against the normalization of genocide.

    I'm shaken by the director of Buena Vista. Social Club, Pina & Paris Texas having spoken like this.

    Not again!
    Creating beauty does not stop the creator treating people like things.

    Some people learnt the wrong lessons from the Nazis mass murdering Jews in WWII.

    20 Aug 2015 Scott criticises #GeorgeOrwell's cynicism on ABC:

    "He was very very hostile, and I think needlessly hostile it seems to me, to the idea of the saint, and so he wrote ferociously, it seems to me libellously, about #Tolstoy after his conversion to orthodoxy, and also about #Ghandi, saying that saints should be judged as guilty until otherwise proven innocent."

    Really Scott?
