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.

🇵🇸 What is the Function of Western Media in Israeli Propaganda? | Ramzy Baroud

US Western mainstream media is far more functional to Israeli propaganda than Israel’s own media. Here is why

🇵🇸 Book : OUR VISION FOR LIBERATION: Engaged Palestinian Leaders & Intellectuals Speak Out | Ramzy Baroud - 2022

Co-edited by Ilan Pappe and Ramzy Baroud, Our Vision for Liberation: Engaged Palestinian Leaders & Intellectuals Speak Out aims to challenge several strata of the current Palestine discourse that have led to the present dead end: the American pro-Israel political discourse, the Israeli colonial discourse, the Arab discourse of purported normalization, and the defunct discourse of the Palestinian factions. None promote justice, none have brought resolution; none bode well for any of the parties involved.

🇵🇸 The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine | Institute for Palestine Studies –

The 1948 Palestine-Israel War is known to Israelis as ‘The War of Independence', but for Palestinians it will forever be the Nakba, the ‘catastrophe'. Alongside the creation of the State of Israel, the end of the war led to one of the largest forced migrations in modern history. Around a million people were expelled from their homes at gunpoint, civilians were massacred, and hundreds of Palestinian villages deliberately destroyed. Though the truth about the mass expulsion has been systematically distorted and suppressed, had it taken place in the twenty-first century it could only have been called ‘ethnic cleansing'. Prominent Israeli academic Ilan Pappe argues passionately for the international recognition of this tragedy.

🇵🇸 Brief History of Israel-Palestine Conflict | Norman Finkelstein Teach-In on Gaza, Israel, and Hamas

#Book - #GAZA : An Inquest into Its Martyrdom | Norman #Finkelstein –

A meticulously researched and devastating inquest into Israel’s actions of the last decade. He argues that although Israel justified its blockade and violent assaults in the name of self-defense, in fact these actions were cynical exercises of brutal power against an essentially defenseless civilian population. Based on hundreds of human rights reports, the book scrutinizes multifarious violations of international law Israel committed both during its operations and in the course of its decade-long siege of Gaza. It is a monument to Gaza’s martyrs and a scorching accusation against their tormenters.

🇵🇸 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.

Israel's well-oiled PR machine collapses – The Cradle

Greg Shupack’s book, The Wrong Story: Palestine, Israel and the Media, highlights three central frameworks that form the foundations of Israel's narrative to the west: 

Creating equal blame between both parties to the conflict.
Framing ‘extremists’ as the main obstacle to peace efforts and undermining moderate voices.
Emphasizing Israel's right to ‘self-defense’ even in the face of unarmed protests, with little regard for Palestinian rights.

These frameworks essentially guide western mainstream media coverage of the “Palestinian-Israeli conflict." Though additionally, Israel leverages historical claims to Palestinian land and anti-Semitism accusations to shape its narrative and appeal to western sympathy.

Several key Hasbara strategies were employed to impact the western media narrative following the Al-Aqsa Flood operation:

🇵🇸 My People Shall Live: The Autobiography of a Revolutionary by Leila Khaled
Publication date 1971
ليلى خالد,

Leila Khaled's autobiography was published when she was only 29, which is an unusually young age for someone documenting their life’s achievements.

But by then Khaled, who gained notoriety as a plane hijacker and icon of Palestinian #resistance, had already experienced more than most people manage during a lifetime.

My People Shall Live details Khaled’s early years with her family as they fled the catastrophe that engulfed the Palestinians after the creation of Israel.

She then lived as a refugee in Lebanon and Kuwait, joined the left-wing Arab Nationalist Movement in Beirut at 15, and later became part of the Marxist-Leninist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestinians (#PFLP).

More than anything, My People Shall Live depicts the events, tragedies, and injustices that create a "terrorist" in the eyes of the Israeli government and its allies.
