Nina Sanadze testified before a Royal Commission about being “cancelled” after a leaked message in which she called Hamas “animals” went viral, leading to her losing friends and being expelled from an art residency — a decision she says was framed as protecting her reputation, even as she’d already voiced concerns about rising antisemitism.
