Jacques interviews Antony Loewenstein, investigative journalist and author of the book, 'The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel exports the technology of occupation around the world' (Published by Scribe - 2023), which meanwhile won the Walkley Award for a 'book written by a journalist'.

Trying to gain a better understanding of the Gaza disaster is stifled, on the one hand, by accusations of ‘antisemitism’ when commenting on actions by the present Israeli government or stifled by accusations of justifying this modern form Western neo-colonialism or accusations of Islamophobia when commenting on Hamas’ historical and recent actions… Terms like ‘occupation’ and 'resistance' to this occupation are loaded from the onset because historically-based justifications of the'rightful' possession of Palestinian/Israelite lands are reciprocally rejected.

As the hoped-for but rather hypothetical two-nations solution is dissipating into a blur of antagonistic rhetoric, Antony Loewenstein offers some much needed historical and present-day background information. He comments on the global as well as the national Palestine/Israelite context and makes a plea for peace in meaningful terms rather than in the ideologically loaded terms systematically supported by western powers and their associated media.
