The Palestine Laboratory - how Israel exports the technology of occupation around the world
Description
As the US sends its Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Middle East envoy, Amos Hochstein, to try to gain a ceasefire agreement, it seems Israel has no intentions of stopping the bombing of Northern Gaza and Southern Lebanon. Journalist Antony Loewenstein says Israel has a strong motivation for an endless war – it’s one of the world’s biggest arms manufacturers and dealers. And he says for those companies selling military weapons, Gaza and the West Bank are their proof of concept.
Guest: Antony Loewenstein, freelance journalist and author of: “The Palestine Laboratory, How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation around the World” published by Scribe.
