The Financial Times reviews The Palestine Laboratory
The Financial Times has reviewed my book, The Palestine Laboratory, and it feels like 7/10.

Here’s the intro: Warfare is, among many things, a spectacular advertisement for weapons, especially in the age of television. Having watched…
Naomi Klein on the “indispensable” Palestine Laboratory
Writer and author Naomi Klein has written a new column in the Guardian about the US presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr where she methodically debunks his populist appeal.

Israeli company Cellebrite is a major player and it has a large, mostly unheralded presence in Australia. Declassified Australia recently ran my investigation into the company’s role in Australia (alongside an edited book extract.) Here’s…
How Israel enforces global borders

In its weekly magazine, The Internationalist, I’ve been interviewed about my new book, The Palestine Laboratory, where I talk about Israel’s appeal as an ethno-nationalist state. Plus there’s an exclusive, edited book extract that examines the EU’s use and abuse of Israeli drones…
