My Israel Question is now available around Australia (for all the latest media coverage, see here.)
If you’re unable to find the book in your local bookstore (or you live overseas) you can purchase the book online.
Thanks for the truly overwhelming number of individuals from both within Australia and around the globe who have been sending messages of support, personal insight and candour. I can’t begin to express my appreciation.
A new conversation has begun.
Has anyone been able to order this book in the UK (if so can you provide some info). As a dozens of us are searching around UK websites to see if any information on this book is available.
Whatever the case I’m 100% confident that it will be worth the wait.
At the moment, the book is only available to overseas readers via the website above. We hope this will change in time.
Holy shit Antony, you’re going international.
Next you’ll be on the Jay Leno show.
Don’t forget your roots – don’t sell out man!!
Well done Ant. The times, they are a’ changing, and you’re part of the vanguard. Goodonyermate.
Great stuff Ant,

Hi Antony,
I picked up your book in Melbourne. I live in Elsternwick. There are two bookshops on Glenhuntly Rd, one is some sort of “Sunflower Bookshop” or something, and they didn’t seem to stock it, but the other bookshop (some big chain – I forget its name) had a dozen copies.
Anyway, I’m about a quarter of the way through it and it doesn’t seem hate-filled at all, it actually seems quite a gentle criticism of a country you obviously want to like. That’s my reading of it at the moment anyway (you may go off the rails in the last half, who knows?).
I’m not quite sure what Zionism is … in fact, you use a lot of terms and concepts that many non-Jewish readers might not have a clear idea with (although I guess Zionism has a lot of different meanings to different people). The best I can come up with (inferred from your book) is that “Jewish people have the right to national independence”, but I also like the extra level added by those two Kibbutz dwellers “and if one group has that right, every group has that right”.
Anyway, I would definitely not have picked up your book if it wasn’t for the flare up in the region right now – I just want to understand what’s happening there and here – so regrettably good timing for you and your publisher!
Even the most staunch pro-Israel person would have to admit that this whole Lebanon thing has not helped the “public relations war”.
Hope the rest of the book is good too,
Luke
