Field Testing Israeli Occupation Tech: The Palestine Lab
Sunday, April 19, 3:00pm, Zoom
Israel is one of the world’s top arms exporters, selling drones, cyber weapons, biometric systems, and crowd control tools to over 130 countries, marketed as “combat-proven” after being deployed on Palestinians living under military occupation. The videos examine how Palestinian lives are used as testing grounds for weapons, AI platforms, and policing tactics later exported worldwide. Panelists will discuss the connections between Israeli military and police forces and U.S. policing and immigration enforcement, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). From occupied Palestine to U.S. cities and detention centers, these technologies enable systems of racialized violence, displacement, and population control.
