Boycott AnyVision: Israel’s “field-tested” facial recognition surveillance company | BDS Movement – 2019
#AnyVision #Microsoft #FacialRecognition #France #Nice #UK #Spain #Palestine #Apartheid #Technology
Human Rights Watch has called on Microsoft to review its investments in AnyVision given the “human rights risk associated with the investment in a company that’s providing [facial recognition] technology to an occupying power.” AnyVision violates Microsoft’s own principles on facial recognition because they provide technology used for unlawful surveillance.
HPE, which supplies servers to Israel’s population control registry, a pillar of its apartheid system, uses AnyVision facial recognition technology in its servers.
Spanish telecommunications transnational Telefónica and G4S also use AnyVision’s technology. The city of, France, surveils citizens with AnyVision and entry to the London stadium was surveilled by AnyVision last summer.#AnyVision #Microsoft #FacialRecognition #France #Nice #UK #Spain #Palestine #Apartheid #Technology
Palestinians Renew Call to Boycott Israeli Facial Recognition Company AnyVision | BDS Movement – 2020
#AnyVision #Apartheid #Palestine #FacialRecognition
#Technology
Palestinian civil society supports calls for an ultimate ban on facial recognition technology and reiterates call for local authorities, corporations, universities to immediately end all ties with Israeli company AnyVision over its involvement in crimes against Palestinians.AnyVision also maintains surveillance cameras for the Israeli military deep inside the occupied West Bank. AnyVision’s technology is used to spy on Palestinians and enables the Israeli military’s illegal targeting of Palestinian civilians. AnyVision, which is led by veteran Israeli military and intelligence personnel, is able to market its technology as “field-tested” on Palestinians.#AnyVision #Apartheid #Palestine #FacialRecognition

Biometrics and counter-terrorism: Case study of Israel/Palestine | Privacy International - 2021
#Biometrics #FacialRecognition #Palestine #Apartheid #Report
#Technology
A case study illustrating the use and looming dangers of collection and use of biometrics in the name of counter-terrorism.
In Israel/Palestine, the Israeli government has been deploying biometrics, including cutting-edge facial recognition technology, in the name of counter-terrorism. The Israeli state routinely surveils and severely restricts Palestinians’ freedom of movement using myriad technologies, including biometrics, which result in furthering the policies of systemic segregation. Since many Palestinians live under Israeli occupation, they have little control over the way their sensitive data is turned against them.
This report was compiled by Keren Weitzberg, a tech and migration researcher, in collaboration with Privacy International.#Biometrics #FacialRecognition #Palestine #Apartheid #Report

Pegasus: Banned Palestinian NGO staffers hacked with spyware, report says | Middle East Eye – 2021
#Pegasus #NSO #Spyware #NGO see allso @pegasus_nso_n_other_spyware channel
Phones of Palestinians working for human rights organisations recently designated by Israel as "terrorist organisations" were hacked using the Israeli-made spyware at the heart of a global surveillance scandal, a rights group has found.
Dublin-based Front Line Defenders (FDL) examined 75 phones belonging to Palestinian human rights workers and detected that six were infected with Pegasus spyware between July 2020 and April 2021, according to a report released on Monday.
Four out of the six phones belong to staff members at NGOs that were blacklisted last month for alleged ties to a group labelled by some states as a "terrorist organisation", a move that has sparked international condemnation.#Pegasus #NSO #Spyware #NGO see allso @pegasus_nso_n_other_spyware channel
Fact Sheet: Israeli Surveillance & Restrictions on Palestinian Movement | IMEU – 2021
#RedWolf #BlueWolf #Pegasus #Biometrics #FacialRecognition
#surveillance #Report #Occupation #Apartheid #maps
The Israeli government closely monitors the communications and movements of millions of Palestinians in the occupied territories (West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza), who have lived under Israeli military rule since 1967, and inside Israel, making Palestinians one of the most surveilled people in the world.
This mass surveillance is part of a complex web of control Israel has imposed on Palestinians, particularly in the occupied territories. This system of control includes restricting the physical movement of people and goods, dividing and isolating Palestinian cities and towns from one another and the outside world, and suppressing freedom of speech on and offline.
The following fact sheet provides an overview of Israel’s methods of surveillance and physical control over Palestinians in the occupied territories.#RedWolf #BlueWolf #Pegasus #Biometrics #FacialRecognition

How AI is intensifying Israel's bombardments of Gaza
#AI
War has always been an occasion for militaries to trade in weaponry. But as Israel’s asymmetrical bombardments on Gaza have become annual events, the army has started branding itself as something of a pioneer, exploring the uncharted territory of automated warfare. The IDF proclaimed it waged the “world’s first AI war” in 2021 — the 11-day offensive on Gaza codenamed “Operation Guardian of the Walls” which, according to B’tselem, killed 261 and injured 2,200 Palestinians. Drones wiped out entire families, damaged schools and medical clinics, and exploded high-rise buildings home to families, businesses, and media offices far from any military targets.
As 72,000 Palestinians were displaced and thousands more mourned the dead, Israeli generals boasted that they had revolutionized warfare. “AI was a force multiplier for the IDF,”, detailing how robotic drones amassed surveillance data, pinpointed targets dropped bombs with minimal human intervention#AI
'The hardest year of my life': Shepherds suffer under Israeli expulsion threat - 972mag - June 2023
For as long as I can remember, Palestinian shepherds here in Masafer Yatta, in the South Hebron Hills region of the occupied West Bank, have grazed their sheep freely each spring across thousands of dunams of land. They would move between abundant pastures, with no need to purchase water or fodder for their animals, because the supply was plentiful. While our villages depend on agriculture and livestock, it is more than just a form of subsistence: it is our traditional way of life.
But one year ago, all of that changed. In May 2022, the Israeli occupation’s High Court ruled against the Palestinian residents of Masafer Yatta and in favor of the Israeli army turning the area into a “firing zone” for military training. In the wake of the court’s ruling, the army has escalated its repression against Palestinians here to try to forcibly displace us from the land our ancestors have lived on for centuries.Israel Is Using a Vast Network of Biometric Cameras to Terrorize Palestinians - Truthout – June 2023
#Israel #Palestine #Apartheid #Technology #FacialRecognition #surveillance #AI #Biometrics
The facial recognition surveillance system violates Palestinians’ human rights to freedom of movement and privacy.
Israel is deepening its system of apartheid in the occupied Palestinian territories by using artificial intelligence-powered biometric facial recognition technology to track and restrict the movements of Palestinian people.
Facial recognition technology identifies and categorizes people on the basis of their physical features, including race, ethnicity, gender, age and disability status.#Israel #Palestine #Apartheid #Technology #FacialRecognition #surveillance #AI #Biometrics

Step-by-step: How Israel Police used NSO’s Pegasus to spy on citizens - CTech – 2022
#Palestine #Pegasus #NSO
#spyware #surveillance
Dozens of investigators in Israel Police are using the different capabilities of NSO’s Pegasus system in order to intimately track intelligence targets. Some of these targets are dangerous criminals, but Calcalist’s exposé revealed that some are citizens that were labeled as dangerous after it became apparent that their political views oppose those of the Israeli government under the leadership of former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.#Palestine #Pegasus #NSO

urnalist 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.#Apartheid #Technology #Palestine #Book #AIA
