The Palestine Laboratory & Surveillance Capitalism

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.

The EU's funding and support for Israeli arms companies – euobserver

Israel's two largest arms companies, Elbit Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), which supply the IDF, also receive European funding.

Elbit manufactures armed swarm drones, white phosphorus and cluster bomb artillery, the use of which is illegal under international law, while IAI, which participated in various H2020 projects including SAFEDRONE and RESPONDRONE, is a key partner in patrolling the apartheid wall turning Gaza into an open-air prison.

Once 'tested' on Palestinians, EU investment comes full circle when the EU and its member states buy back the end product.

Israeli drone pilots targeted own settlements, bases, civilians on 7 October: Report – The Cradle

Israel’s fleet of Hermes 450 “Zik” armed drones carried out attacks on Israeli military bases, settlements, and civilians during the Hamas attack on 7 October, according to a 14 November report from Mishpacha Magazine.

Previous reports have emerged showing that Israeli forces used tanks to kill Israeli civilians barricaded inside homes with their Hamas captors, and Apache helicopters to fire on Hamas fighters and their Israeli captives while returning back to Gaza. 

During the fighting, some 1,200 Israelis were killed, with some killed by Hamas, and others by Israeli forces. Hamas took some 240 Israeli soldiers, civilians, and foreign workers captive.

🇵🇸A mass assassination factory’: Inside Israel’s calculated bombing of Gaza | 972mag

The Israeli army’s expanded authorization for bombing non-military targets, the loosening of constraints regarding expected civilian casualties, and the use of an artificial intelligence system to generate more potential targets than ever before, appear to have contributed to the destructive nature of the initial stages of Israel’s current war on the Gaza Strip, an investigation by +972 Magazine and Local Call reveals.

These factors, as described by current and former Israeli intelligence members, have likely played a role in producing what has been one of the deadliest military campaigns against Palestinians since the Nakba of 1948.

🇵🇸 Gaza is a weapons lab for the arms industry w/Antony Loewenstein | The Chris Hedges Report

Whether it's drone technology or the infamous Pegasus spy software, Israel has long developed and refined repressive technologies used by governments around the world by testing them on Palestinians. Antony Loewenstein, journalist and author of The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation Around the World, joins The Chris Hedges Report for a deep dive into the disturbing links between Israeli Apartheid, the arms industry, and global repression of civilian populations.

🇵🇸 Tom Dawson, Deputy Secretary-General of the International Federation of Journalists, to Ultra Palestine speaking about Israel's targeting of journalists in Gaza: "It seems that Israel has a targeting system supported by artificial intelligence, called Gospel (in Hebrew, HabSoura), which allows for such precise killing and tracks individuals as they return to their homes and workplaces."( text source @QudsNen)

🇵🇸Lavender’: The AI machine directing Israel’s bombing spree in Gaza | 972 Mag

A new investigation by +972 Magazine and Local Call reveals that the Israeli army has developed an artificial intelligence-based program known as “Lavender,” unveiled here for the first time. According to six Israeli intelligence officers, who have all served in the army during the current war on the Gaza Strip and had first-hand involvement with the use of AI to generate targets for assassination, Lavender has played a central role in the unprecedented bombing of Palestinians, especially during the early stages of the war. In fact, according to the sources, its influence on the military’s operations was such that they essentially treated the outputs of the AI machine “as if it were a human decision.”

🇵🇸 Israel's high tech killing machine, with Antony Loewenstein

Israel is using AI – artificial intelligence – to compile kill lists that define almost anyone in Gaza as a “Hamas operative” to be targeted for death from the sky. Israel uses these AI systems to justify its indiscriminate bombing, often destroying entire buildings on top of their inhabitants.

What do these horrifying systems mean for accountability for genocide and war crimes and have they led to any kind of “success” from Israel’s perspective?

We were joined by independent investigative journalist Antony Loewenstein to talk about Israel’s high-tech genocide and the profits it makes marketing its machinery of death globally.

Antony’s most recent book, published last year, is The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports The Technology Of Occupation Around The World.

🇵🇸Digital Kill Chains’: The Dark Side of Tech in Warfare | The Craddle

Are
#Palantir Technologies, #Starlink, and other tech giants seizing the opportunity to test their products’ war applications on civilians in #Gaza, turning the besieged strip into a proving ground for their technology?

In recent years, the intersection of technology and #warfare has come under public fire, raising profound ethical and legal questions about state military use of advanced tech tools. The role of advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) in modern conflicts is under intense scrutiny, especially when civilian lives are at stake.

As the genocide in Gaza advances, attention is turning to the companies whose technologies may be facilitating Israel’s daily atrocities, with US-based Palantir Technologies among them...

Palantir’s integration in Israel


Companies like Palantir Technologies, led by CEO Alex Karp, have been implicated in enabling some of these atrocities. Its advanced data analytics and AI tools that supposedly provide “precision targeting” are mass-killing civilians and have transformed warfare into a calculated and systematic campaign of extermination with little human oversight.

Founded in 2003 by Karp and Peter Thiel, Palantir Technologies has grown from a secretive data analytics startup to a cornerstone of modern military and intelligence operations. Initially funded by the #CIA’s venture capital arm, In-Q-Tel, Palantir’s tech products have become integral to numerous US government agencies, including the #FBI, Department of Defense, and various police departments.

This deep entanglement with US intelligence and military bodies paved the way for Palantir’s strategic alignment with Israel.

...The company established an office in Tel Aviv in 2015, strategically located overlooking Rothschild Boulevard on one side and Yehuda Halevy Street on the other.

This location underscores the company’s deep integration into the Israeli tech ecosystem. Karp himself highlighted Palantir’s strong ties to Israel in a December 2023 interview on Fox Business, stating, “We are very well known in Israel. Israel appreciates our product.”

...Palantir’s deep involvement in Israel’s military infrastructure is part of a broader, troubling pattern of technology enabling warfare. That connection extends to another tech giant – #SpaceX’s Starlink, led by Elon Musk. Understanding this intricate relationship is crucial to grasping how modern conflicts are increasingly driven by advanced technologies developed by private corporations...
