Film Screening: The Palestine Laboratory

Episode 2

And Q&A with investigative journalist, best-selling author, and film-maker

Antony Loewenstein

'The Palestine Laboratory' is a two-parts series that uncovers how Israel profits from weapons industry and surveillance technologies using occupied Palestinian territories as a testing ground.

Israel punches way above its weight when it comes to arms sales. “Plenty of countries sell weapons,” says award-winning journalist Antony Loewenstein, “but what makes Israel’s industry unique is the mix of weapons, surveillance technology and architectural techniques that combine to create a comprehensive system for controlling ‘difficult’ populations and are based on years of experience in Palestine.”

The 97th country by population, it is the ninth largest arms dealer, supported by its substantial military-industrial complex, which has grown to be worth billions and includes a mix of advanced weapons and surveillance technologies, as noted by Antony's website.

Antony Loewenstein is a journalist and author who for more than 20 years has written unflinchingly about Israel and its relationship with the Palestinians, even though it has often put him at odds with many in the Jewish diaspora and Israel.

In this film, Loewenstein goes on a journey to investigate how these weapons and surveillance technologies are used to control and repress Palestinians in Palestine before being sold all over the world.

This event will screen the second part of The Palestine Laboratory followed by a Q&A session with Antony, discussing the content of the film and his recent book, also titled 'The Palestine Laboratory'.

We will be selling copies of Antony's book at the event.
