Description
Israel’s military industrial complex uses the occupied Palestinian territories as a testing ground for weaponry and surveillance technology that it then exports 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.
Journalist Antony Loewenstein uncovers this largely hidden world in a global investigation with secret documents, revealing interviews and on-the-ground reporting. This book shows, in-depth and for the first time, how Palestine has become the perfect laboratory for Israeli military-techno surveillance, home demolitions, indefinite incarceration and brutality — and for the hi-tech tools that drive the 'Start-up Nation'.
From the Pegasus software that hacked Jeff Bezos's and Jamal Khashoggi's phones, to weapons sold to the Myanmar army that has murdered thousands of Rohingya 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.
