”Frissons all around! Except for the cancelled chick because Joooooooos are icky, donchaknow.”
A year from now, how hard will they ignore the fact that they are the Nazis who should be punched in the throat? [IsraelTimes] Libicki, who explores Jewish identity in her work, says the ban is illegal and ‘bad for all artists of all political orientations and background’
A comic book festival in Vancouver said it has banned an Israeli-American artist because of her past service in the Israel Defense Forces, after apologizing for allowing her to participate this year. The Vancouver Comic Arts Festival then deleted its statement apologizing for allowing Miriam Libicki to exhibit at the event, which took place earlier this month, after the Canadian Jewish News published an article calling attention to the affair. According to the news outlet and social media screenshots, the statement did not name Libicki but referenced her and her work and said she would not be allowed in the festival in the future.
