One Nation is Australia’s most prominent far-right political party, led for decades by leader Pauline Hanson. It’s akin to Reform UK and the Republicans under Trump. Think anti-multiculturalism, anti-Islam, pro-Israel and pro US wars, claiming to speak for the forgotten people while being funded by fossil fuel billionaires. I’m excited to be launching a 3-part podcast series, starring tomorrow, 22 April, in conversation with the brilliant political journalist Amy Remeikis. Search for The Antony Loewenstein Podcast. We go deep. Over 3 episodes. Looking back at One Nation’s beginnings in the late 1990s and the vital role played, then and now, by the mainstream media in boosting Hanson and her ideas. It’ll be available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple. This great trailer was made by Lem and Elizabeth. Series produced by Lena Helou + Lem. This is independent journalism and needs your support:

My CNN interview on the still raw grief and anger after the massacre in Bondi. It's vital to utterly refute the dishonest conflation between supporting Palestine and anti-Semitism. Anti-semitism is a vile disease and must be fought 110%. But opposing Israel's endless colonisation of the West Bank and Gaza is an absolute necessity.

The massacre in Bondi, Sydney yesterday was an abomination. Targeting Jews and any innocents is morally abhorrent. Full stop. Don’t let these heinous acts be weaponized in support of racism, demonizing Islam or backing the Israeli state. This morning I recorded a podcast episode to respond to the outrage in Bondi and those trying to exploit it. You can find the whole episode on YouTube, Spotify and Apple under ‘The Antony Loewenstein Podcast’. Eg: Take care out there. Be compassionate. Stay sane. Reject hate. Thanks to producer Lem Zakharia for making this all happen.

What’s the real difference between antisemitism and anti-Zionism? Australia is currently holding a Royal Commission aka formal independent investigation into anti Semitism in the wake of the Bondi terror attack. The evidence given publicly thus far has been both concerning in parts but also deeply delusional.

This is the first promo/teaser for my forthcoming documentary film series, ‘The Palestine Laboratory’, made with the great UK production company Black Leaf Films and broadcast on Al Jazeera English. Episode 1 is broadcast on 30th January, 2025, with Episode 2 following at the same time on the 6th February. Both episodes will be available on Al Jazeera’s website and YouTube (for free and complete global access). The Palestine Laboratory is a ground-breaking two-part series (2 x 47 mins) that’s based on my global best-selling Verso Books Scribe Publications book of the same name. In Part 1, in Israel and Palestine, I examine how the country positions itself as a world leader in hi-tech weapons and surveillance technology, with glossy promotions from the top weapons manufactures that boast their products have been “tested” and “proven” in “battle”. Hearing from both Israelis and Palestinians, I explore how the industry understands what labels like “tested” in Palestine means and how the military intelligence Unit 8200 acts as an incubator for Israeli surveillance tech start ups. I also examines Israel’s use of AI targeting systems in Gaza. In Part 2, the investigation takes me on an international journey through Europe, India, Mexico, South Africa and the USA as I reveal how this “technology of occupation” is also used to subjugate people and surveil political dissidents, human rights defenders and journalists all over the world. This has been a massive, worldwide investigation, initiated in 2022 before my book was even released (though it was all filmed in 2024), with a huge team of remarkable researchers, producers, photographers, journalists and cinematographers. Most can’t be named due to legitimate fears for their safety and future work opportunities. I thank them all for their dedication and commitment to getting this timely story out. Much more in the coming weeks with clips, photos and information. Please share far and wide. Independent journalism can only thrive with your support.

The recent visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog to Australia was covered predictably badly by most of the mainstream media. Hello corporate journalists, want to speak to any Arabs, Muslims or Palestinians? No, didn’t think so 😡.

This is my speech at Sunday's huge rally and march for Palestine in Sydney, Australia where around 300k people showed up. I was proud to explain and support Jewish values that don’t include ethic cleansing and war crimes. That may seem obvious but shamefully too many Jews still dehumanize Palestinians on a daily basis. This must change. I spoke alongside Mehreen Faruqi Craig Foster Randa Abdel-Fattah and many others. Thanks to the organisers for inviting me to share these words and James McKeller for the video.

The mainstream Jewish establishment in every major Western state has supported Israel’s onslaught in Gaza, Syria, Iran, Yemen, the West Bank etc. Notice a dangerous pattern? This is what (partly) causes anti-Semitism. An extract from the latest episode of The Antony Loewenstein Podcast, out now on YouTube, Spotify and Apple.

The world exclusive new trailer for episode 1 of my forthcoming Al Jazeera English documentary series, ‘The Palestine Laboratory’, made with the extraordinary UK production company Black Leaf Films. It's directed by the wonderful Dan Davies. This episode, filmed across Israel and Palestine in 2024, features a detailed investigation into the ways in which Israel views Palestinians as guinea pigs to test new weapons and surveillance tech. These tools are then marketed and sold globally for ever-increasing profits from Vietnam to Serbia. We have new facts and insights on this timely subject. It will shock many of you especially in light of Israel’s war of annihilation in Gaza (which we examine). The 2-part series begins on 30 January (and continues on 6 February). It’ll be available on the Al Jazeera website and YouTube (for free). The film is adapted from my global bestselling Verso Books Scribe Publications book of the same name. Thanks to all the brave souls, especially in occupied Palestine, who worked on this film under such challenging circumstances in a time of war.

‘Not In My Name’ is the new film by Brietta Hague broadcasting on Australia’s abctv Compass program on 5 May at 6.30pm AEST (and then online). For overseas readers, ABC is the Australian equivalent of the BBC. The film is about Jewish dissent, my life and work, my journalism, family background, Jewish history, 7 October, mass slaughter in Gaza and the global surge in Jewish identity infused with support for Palestine. It’s been a long journey to get this film out but I’m so glad you’ll be able to see it soon. The time for this film is now 👊🏼. I’ll share more about it shortly but in the meantime enjoy this striking trailer.

The creation of One Nation and its leader Pauline Hanson, from the 1990s onwards, has a lot to do with the mainstream media. They can’t get enough of the faux ‘controversy’, and who cares about the racism. This is Amy Remeikis in conversation with me on the first episode of my new 3-part series about the popular far-right party. You can find The Antony Loewenstein Podcast on YouTube, Spotify and Apple. Eg: This is independent journalism and takes a lot of time and effort to make so we’d appreciate if you can donate $: This has been a team effort with my remarkable producers Lena Helou + Lem, a series in the making for a few months:

The Jeffrey Epstein scandal continues to rightly cause global ructions. But one area that’s been mostly neglected is his clear ties to Israeli intelligence. This week’s episode of The Antony Loewenstein Podcast is on Epstein, Israel and media blindness. This extract gives you a flavor and you can listen and watch on YouTube, Spotify and Apple, and all details including how to donate $ are in my bio.

An extract from my podcast this week, on the Bondi massacre, with a strong rejection of the state that potentially doubles down on even more police and intelligence powers in the wake of this terror attack. And if you want to talk about Islamist extremism, which we must, don’t ignore Jewish extremism (including Western Jews since 7 October 2023 joining the IDF and then fighting and murdering Palestinians in Gaza). You can hear the whole episode of The Antony Loewenstein Podcast on YouTube, Spotify and Apple (all links in my bio). Eg: Thanks to podcast queen Lem for all the invaluable work:
