Australian journalist (@mckinnon_a) Alex McKinnon (from Deepcut News) joins me to discuss the excessive ‘cancellations’ and speech restrictions in Australia, around the topic of Palestine. We also talk about the asymmetry between the warm welcome genocide supporters and Israeli propagandists receive vs. The hostility that is directed towards anyone holding an anti-genocide view. We discuss the downfall of Adelaide Writers Week, the Israeli Ambassador’s horrifying speech at The National Press Club & more.
