Show notes

On this special episode of Lamestream, Scott is joined by Walkley Award-winning author and journalist Antony Loewenstein.


They begin by talking about Antony's early years as a journalist, getting tapped on the shoulder by management over critical coverage of Israel and the Iraq War, and why he decided he had to leave mainstream Australian media behind.


Then, they discuss genocidal attitudes taking hold in sections of Israeli society, how they contributed to the killing of Zomi Frankcom and why Palestine now faces the most existential threat that it ever has.


Finally, they discuss Pauline Hanson's allegation that Anthony Albanese is using violent rhetoric that could lead to political violence.
