How Israel makes a killing from
the occupation of Palestine
Israel’s
military industrial complex uses the occupied, Palestinian
territories as a testing ground for weaponry and surveillance
technology that they then export around the world to despots and
democracies. For more than 50 years, occupation of the West Bank and
Gaza has given the Israeli state invaluable experience in controlling
an “enemy” population, the Palestinians. It’s here that they
have perfected the architecture of control.
Best-selling
journalist Antony Loewenstein, author of Disaster
Capitalism,
uncovers this largely hidden world in a global investigation with
secret documents, revealing interviews and on-the-ground reporting.
This book shows in-depth, for the first time, how Palestine has
become the perfect laboratory for the Israeli military-techno
complex: surveillance, home demolitions, indefinite incarceration and
brutality to the hi-tech tools that drive the ‘Start-up Nation’.
From
the Pegasus software that hacked Jeff Bezos’ and Jamal Khashoggi’s
phones, the weapons sold to the Myanmar army that has murdered
thousands of Rohingyas and drones used by the European Union to
monitor refugees in the Mediterranean who are left to drown. Israel
has become a global leader in spying technology and defence hardware
that fuels the globe’s most brutal conflicts. As ethno-nationalism
grows in the 21st century, Israel has built the ultimate model.
