Nick Riemer, academic and activist, and president of the Sydney University NTEU branch: Leila Khaled must not be prevented from speaking in Australia. It is farcical in the extreme that Israeli war criminals like Doron Almog are free to fundraise in Australia for the ongoing Zionist colonisation of Palestine, but activists promoting the emancipation of Palestine and an end to Israeli apartheid are being blocked at every turn. Khaled's message is vital. It must be heard.
