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 speech was instead delivered to a full house
at the Teachers Federation auditorium in Sydney on October 20. 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.
