As you are probably aware by now, Antony Loewenstein, Australian Jewish Author is doing a tour of New Zealand (Christchurch, Wellington, Napier & Auckland) starting next Monday July 17.

Antony’s Auckland talk is on Thursday July 20th. (see more below)

Antony Loewenstein is an Australian/German independent, freelance, investigative journalist, best-selling author and film-maker. He’s the co-founder of Declassified Australia. He’s worked in dozens of countries around the world and was based in South Sudan in 2015 and East Jerusalem between 2016 and 2020. He’s written for The New York Times, The Guardian, The Washington Post, Al Jazeera English, The New York Review of Books and many others. PSNA is delighted to announce that this much acclaimed author and filmmaker is to tour New Zealand in July to speak at public meetings around the country and promote his latest book “The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel exports the technology of occupation around the world”. This latest book has been released in 2023. Published by Verso in the US + UK and Scribe in Australia + New Zealand, the book is a global investigation into Israel’s endless occupation which gives the Jewish state invaluable experience in controlling an ‘enemy’ population, the Palestinians. It’s here that they have perfected the architecture of control, using the occupied Palestinian territories as a testing ground for weaponry and surveillance technology that they then export around the world. The book is endorsed by Noam Chomsky, Ilan Pappe, Avi Shlaim, Gideon Levy, Eyal Weizman and others. This book will be available for purchase at each of his talks. His other books include My Israel Question, The Blogging Revolution, Disaster Capitalism: Making A Killing Out Of Catastrophe and Pills, Powder and Smoke: Inside the Bloody War on Drugs. His films include Disaster Capitalism and the Al Jazeera English films West Africa’s Opioid Crisis and Under the Cover of Covid.
