Saga of Israel’s ‘Architecture of Control’

Antony Loewenstein’s book The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation around the World published in May 2023 foreshadows Israel’s violence in Gaza, Palestine, in the aftermath of October 7, 2023, selectively underlining the incursion into Israel-occupied territory led by Hamas. As an investigative journalist and a Jewish Australian-German, Antony provides a nuanced context for understanding the suppression Israel unleashed on Palestinians in Palestine. He documents how Israel converted Palestinian territory as an experimental ground to test and showcase, and then sell and export, all types of military hardware, surveillance technology, cyber technologies, and policing techniques.
