Life

Loewenstein has written for The New York Times, The Guardian,[2] Haaretz, The Washington Post, The New York Review of Books, Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, Sydney's Sun-Herald, The Bulletin, ZNet, The Big Issue, Crikey, CounterPunch, and the online magazine New Matilda among others. He appears regularly on TV, radio, in public and at universities around the world discussing current affairs and politics.[3][4]

Loewenstein contributed a chapter to Not Happy, John (2004), a best-seller in Australia which highlighted the growing disenchantment with then-PM John Howard. His book on the Israel-Palestine conflict, My Israel Question, (2006 and in new editions in 2007 and 2009) was described by Ilan Pappé as "one of the best treatises which presents in the most lucid way possible why anti-Zionism can not be equated with anti-Semitism".[5] The Weekend Australian wrote that it "deserves a strong readership ... because it makes us uncomfortable".[6] It was short-listed for a 2007 New South Wales Premier's Literary Award. The book was criticised in a review in Australian Jewish News.[7]

His next book, The Blogging Revolution (2008), is about the impact of the internet in countries with repressive regimes. It was updated in 2011 after the Arab Spring. My Israel Question is available in an Arabic translation. He contributed to the Verso Books collection, A Time to Speak Out (2008), on the rise of global Jewish dissent.

He is the co-editor with Ahmed Moor of the 2012 book After Zionism: One State for Israel and Palestine which includes essays by Omar Barghouti, John Mearsheimer, Ilan Pappé, Sara Roy, and Jonathan Cook, among others.[8] In 2012 he also published Left Turn about failures of capitalism.[9]

Loewenstein's book on vulture capitalism, Profits of Doom was published in 2013 (a new edition followed in 2014) and a book on religion, faith and politics, For God's Sake. Verso Books published his Disaster Capitalism: Making A Killing Out of Catastrophe (2015), and he's the writer/co-producer of the documentary, Disaster Capitalism, released in 2018. His book on the global "war on drugs", Pills, Powder and Smoke: Inside the Bloody War on Drugs, was published in 2019 in the US, Australia and India and 2020 in the UK.

With South African film-maker Naashon Zalk, Loewenstein was co-director of a 2019 Al Jazeera English documentary on abuse of the opioid drug tramadol in Nigeria, West Africa's Opioid Crisis. He appears in the 2019 documentary, This Is Not A Movie, about The IndependentШаблон:'s Middle East correspondent, Robert Fisk.

Loewenstein co-founded the Independent Australian Jewish Voices (IAJV).[10][11] He won the 2019 Jerusalem (Al Quds) Peace Prize, one of Australia's leading peace awards, for his work on Israel/Palestine.

In 2021, he co-founded Declassified Australia with fellow journalist Peter Cronau. The news website critically reports on Australia's relations with the world.[12] He and UK film-maker Dan Davies co-directed the Al Jazeera documentary Under the Cover of Covid.[13][14]

In 2023, he released the book, The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports The Technology Of Occupation Around The World, in the UK, US and Australia with multiple, translated editions to come. It was a long-list finalist in the 2023 Moore Prize For Human Rights Writing and a best-selling book in New Zealand.[15][16][17] When, in November 2023, Loewenstein was awarded, in partnership with Banki Haddock Fiora, the Walkley Book Award for Longform Journalism for the book,[18] judges commented that it was; "Hard to imagine a more timely exposé of the policies, weaponry and technology - from hacking software to drones and even 3G mapping - that the Israeli government has deployed against Palestine, and which countries, democratic and dictatorial, around the world have bought, adopted and adapted. Deep, solid research. Fairly written - not a polemic. Brave independent journalism at its finest, backed by a small committed publishing house."[19] The book was also shortlisted for the 2024 Victorian Premier's Prize for Nonfiction.[20]
