Описание: This is the speech Chris Hedges was supposed to deliver at Australia's National Press Club, live to the nation on ABC, the country's national broadcaster. Despite written confirmation the club cancelled the talk, reportedly citing an interest in “balancing out our program”, after learning more about what he was going to say. Hedges claims he was told by a reliable source that the club had then reached out to Israeli Ambassador.

The event was chaired by Sara Saleh, a Palestinian writer & race critical human rights lawyer. It was sponsored by the journalists' union MEAA, PEN Sydney and the magazine Pearls and Irritations. It was organised by Stop the War on Palestine and Palestine Justice Movement.
