On not ignoring the struggles of Africa
My essay/book review in the US outlet The Markaz Review is on a new book by the great writer, Anjan Sundaram, Break-Up: A Reporter’s Marriage Amid a Central African War: The Central African Republic (CAR) is mostly ignored in the mainstream media, but in sparse depictions it’s often portrayed as a faraway nation bedeviled by…
UK Independent newspaper on The Palestine Laboratory
My book, The Palestine Laboratory, has received so much attention since its release in May around the world. I’m hugely grateful for the interest.

New Zealand Maori radio on The Palestine Laboratory
During my recent book tour in New Zealand for The Palestine Laboratory, I was interviewed by the country’s first Maori radio station.

How the Palestine laboratory impacted Chile
My new book, The Palestine Laboratory, opens with a personal story about the horrific Pinochet regime in Chile in the 1970s and Israel’s support for it. I’m therefore happy to see my book getting traction in Chile with this story in the local media: On the 50th anniversary of the coup d’état [in Chile in…
New Zealand’s leading magazine on The Palestine Laboratory
I’ve just returned from a week-long book tour in New Zealand for The Palestine Laboratory. 4 cities in 5 days, I spoke at packed public events, engaged with journalists and politicians, met huge numbers of Palestine activists and visited the Christchurch mosque where 51 Muslims were massacred in 2019. I wanted to pay my respects.…
Jewish Voice for Labour embraces the Palestine lab
A great review of my new book, The Palestine Laboratory, by Andrew Hornung for the UK’s Jewish Voice for Labour: Loewenstein’s great contribution is to pull together a vast trove of information about this sector, its activities, its origins, its power and its effects. The book’s central idea, reflected in its title, is that Israel’s expertise…
