Haaretz columnist Gideon Levy has been called ‘the most hated man in Israel’, and hostility follows him around the world because of his advocacy for the rights of Palestinians and trenchant criticism of Israel’s policies.

Levy is in Australia to present the Edward Said Memorial Lecture in Adelaide - a speech titled, ‘The First 50 years: Israeli Society and the Occupation’.
