On Friday of the long weekend, the crown quietly dropped all charges against four of the so-called Indigo 11 because there was no reasonable prospect of conviction. I spoke to one of them and a lawyer for the other who plan to address the public today.

Israeli journalist Amira Hass says the October 7 attack was a tragic but predictable response to 'years-longs atrocities perpetuated by Israel' and a refusal by Israeli leaders 'to accept and to acknowledge the national rights of Palestinians for statehood.'

That this former CBC producer had to publish this under a pseudonym is deeply telling & damning. Despite her father being Jewish, she was smeared as anti-Semitic for pointing out that the CBC was caving to pressure from Israel lobby groups. She has resigned in protest.

Love and congratulations to Iman Mersal. Her book, Traces of Enayat, holds biographer and subject, published and missing, up to the light -- a brilliant book unlike anything I've ever read. Honoured that we are excepting a chapter in the next issue of Brick, A Literary Journal
