The Palestine Laboratory: how Israel exports the technology of occupation around

Description: The Palestine Laboratory by Antony Loewenstein WINNER OF THE 2023 WALKLEY BOOK AWARDWINNER OF PEOPLES CHOICE AT THE VICTORIAN PREMIERS LITERARY AWARDS 2024SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2024 ABIA SOCIAL IMPACT BOOK OF THE YEARBestselling journalist Antony Loewenstein uncovers the widespread commercialisation and brutal deployment globally of Israels occupation-enforcing technologies.For more than 50 years, the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has given the Israeli state invaluable experience in controlling an enemy population, the Palestinians. Its here that they have perfected the architecture of control, using the occupied Palestinian territories as a testing ground for weaponry and surveillance technology that they then export around the world.The Palestine Laboratory shows in depth and for the first time how Israel has become a leader in developing spying technology and defence hardware that fuels some of the globes most brutal conflicts - from the Pegasus software that hacked Jeff Bezoss and Jamal Khashoggis phones, and the weapons sold to the Myanmar army that has murdered thousands of Rohingyas, to the drones being used by the European Union to monitor refugees in the Mediterranean who are left to drown.In a global investigation that uncovers secret documents, based on revealing interviews and on-the-ground reporting, Antony Loewenstein shows how, as ethno-nationalism grows in the 21st century, Israel has built the ultimate tools for despots and democracies.A sad and sordid record of how "the light unto the nations" became the purveyor of the means of violence and brutal repression from Guatemala to Myanmar and wherever else the opportunity arose.-Noam ChomskyThis is a must read on a hidden and shocking aspect of the Israeli colonisation of the Palestinians. This book shows clearly that this kind of export is now Israels most significant contribution to the global violation of human rights.-Ilan Pappe, author of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine and Ten Myths About IsraelA triumph of investigative journalism. It exposes the ruthlessness with which Israel exploits the experience gained from the illegal occupation to export all kinds of military hardware as well as the technology of surveillance, espionage, cyber warfare, phone-hacking, and house demolition. It also shines a torch on the dark side of Israels support for despots around the world. Altogether, a profoundly depressing audit on a country that used to boast of being "a light unto the nations".-Avi Shlaim, Emeritus Professor of International Relations at the University of Oxford and author of The Iron Wall- Israel and the Arab world FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Antony Loewenstein is a Jerusalem-based Australian journalist who has written for The New York Times, The Guardian, the BBC, The Washington Post, The Nation, Huffington Post, Haaretz, and many others.
