After the huge success of my book, My Israel Question, in 2007, its best-selling status, and ability to generate massive public debate, a fully updated edition is now released:
The undeclared war in the Middle East is the abiding conflict of our era, with little apparent hope of resolution despite years of peace talks. The futile 2006 Lebanon war merely heightened this sense of hopelessness.
On one side of the conflict, Israel asserts the right of the Jewish state to exist in Palestine. On the other, the Palestinian people struggle for survival. Far beyond Israel’s disputed borders, the conflict is replayed in passionate public debate around the world.
Written by an Australian Jew, Antony Loewenstein, My Israel Question was published in 2006 amidst a storm of controversy, critical praise and robust public debate. The Israel-Palestine conflict had rarely been discussed as frankly, an indication that decades-old silencing of dissenting views was coming to an end. Loewenstein’s searching discussion continues here in this fully updated and expanded new edition. Loewenstein’s is an important new voice in one of the most significant debates of our time.
And I just got the old edition!
Congrats on the reprint, Antony. What will my first edition be worth when you win the Nobel Prize and a Pulitzer?
your writing style wouldn’t get a dollar from me, but i applaud your courage. if a person’s character is defined by the quality of their enemies, you’re in the running for sainthood. but only if you convert..
Well done Antony great to hear that the book slod well keep it up
Can I trade my old edition in for the shiny new one??
A trade-in?
Well, clearly you must buy a new edition. Highly worthwhile, of course, and full of new information (and like a nervous Zionist lost in sea, prone to find many new audiences when the call goes out.)
Question.
Antony, if somebody purchases My Israel Question off Amazon will they receive the new edition? As it obviously still has the old edition listed.
At this stage, it’s best to buy the new edition in any Australian bookshop or through my publisher’s website; they can send it to anywhere around the world.
