Reviewing and reflecting on the Palestine lab

Ever since my book, The Palestine Laboratory, was released in 2023, many people have reviewed it in detail and shared their thoughts online. It’s been hugely gratifying to find a large number of individuals dipping into the book, from across the world, and the latest is Stephen Heiner in the US.

Connecting Palestine to the US/Mexico border

Todd Miller is one of the finest journalists in the US writing about border politics and realities.

The Gaza war provides endless ways to test new weapons

Al-Shabaka: The Palestinian Policy Network is a Palestinian think-tank producing much important work.

This week I spoke on a panel organised by the group on Israel’s military industrial complex:

For years, Israel’s rapidly growing military industrial complex has turned the regime into a leading exporter of sophisticated weaponry and cutting edge spyware. For just as long, Israel has used Palestinians under occupation and blockade as unwilling test subjects for its increasingly deadly and oppressive weapons technologies.

From Pegasus spyware to attack drones to AI targeting systems, Israel now exports its tools of subjugation to oppressive forces across the globe. Israeli spyware has been used to hack the phones of journalists; Israeli weapons were used by the Myanmar army to massacre thousands of Rohingyas; Israeli drone technology has been seen in multiple countries across Africa. And for more than 10 months, Israel has been testing out advanced AI targeting systems to streamline the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

In our policy lab, Marwa Fatafta and Antony Loewenstein join host Tariq Kenney-Shawa to discuss Gaza as a testing ground for Israel’s global war industry.
