Militarized Industrial Policy and Israeli Surveillance Firms by Islam Al-Khatib

PLEASE TAKE ACTION RIGHT NOW AND SEND YOUR LETTER TO THE UN OFFICE OF THE SPECIAL ADVISER ON THE PREVENTION OF GENOCIDE AND THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT PROSECUTOR.

Israel’s position as a global cyber power is the outcome of a tightly integrated public-private apparatus, linking the military and intelligence establishment with a robust surveillance technology sector. This ecosystem, shaped through decades of settler-colonial domination and military occupation, enables the rapid development, refinement, and deployment of digital tools designed to monitor, classify, and eliminate. Technologies are first tested on Palestinians, particularly in Gaza and the West Bank, then refined for export. As Loewenstein argues in his 2023 book on Palestine as a laboratory, the Israeli occupation has been of surveillance capitalism. Palestinians have become the subjects of what is now widely identified as the world’s first AI-powered genocide.

Liberal Israeli leaders were contemplating genocide in Gaza already in 1967 by Jonathan Ofir

Please TAKE ACTION RIGHT NOW and send your letter to the UN Office of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide and the International Criminal Court Prosecutor.

“Perhaps if we don’t give them enough water they won’t have a choice, because the orchards will yellow and wither.”

That is what Israeli Prime Minster Levi Eshkol said in 1967 about Gaza, as revealed in newly declassified documents from the time. Ofer Aderet of Haaretz reported about this today.   

… The logic here is, after all, Zionism 101. Nonetheless, they can still be shocking to read, and they should be. These are statements that convey clear intention of ethnic cleansing, and even Genocide. Emptying out, suffocation, deprivation of water till orchards wither. These words are not uttered by rightist Zionist leaders, but by leftist ones. No wonder Israel keeps these archives hidden for 50 years and more.
