Join me for my UK book tour

UPDATED list of dates and venues where I am speaking about, selling and signing my new book "Weaponising Anti-Semitism."

After my book launch in London in June, there was massive demand for me to talk about Weaponising Anti-Semitism from all around the country. Before I realised what was happening, this had turned into a UK book tour.

I am giving a multimedia presentation, looking at primary sources from the book’s footnotes, and giving an overview of its argument. New dates are being added to the tour all the time: see below for details of how to get in touch if you’re interested in arranging one.

Come and hear more about the book Israel lobby has tried to ban!
