Why governments are buying Israel’s technology of mass repression
with Jeff Halper, 2 June 2019
Jeff Halper is the author of War against the People: Israel, the Palestinians and Global Pacification. Jeff's book includes reference to the Israeli military-grade hyper-surveillance system deployed in Glasgow since 2013 as an example of how the technology and expertise developed to crush Palestinian reistance has become a lucrative commodity in the international arms bazaar. We discuss how Western governments anticipate social unrest as inequality intensifies and how Israel facilitates the moves against fundamental human rights that being eroded for populations across the world. The topic of this discussion should concern everyone - in Glasgow, across Scotland and the entire planet.
