Antony Loewenstein speech on Palestine and BDS at Sydney’s Marrickville council http://www.veteranstoday.com/2011/04/28/antony-loewenstein-speech-on-palestine-and-bds-at-sydneys-marrickville-council/

Marrickville council in Sydney, Australia endorsed BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions) as a policy in December 2010. Months of furious debate, Zionist lobby smearing, mainstream media ridicule and major party attack saw the council rescind its decision in April 2011. Independent journalist and author Antony Loewenstein spoke at a heated council meeting to support BDS and explain why BDS is a moral and sound idea to pressure Israel to abide by international law.
