A great review of my new book, The Palestine Laboratory, by Andrew Hornung for the UK’s Jewish Voice for Labour:
Loewenstein’s great contribution is to pull together a vast trove of information about this sector, its activities, its origins, its power and its effects. The book’s central idea, reflected in its title, is that Israel’s expertise in this area – indeed, its Unique Selling Point – derives from its use as a tool in supressing the struggle for Palestinian rights, in particular in the Occupied Territories. If facial recognition technology can be successfully used in Hebron to monitor Palestinians, why not use it in South America, in Myanmar or Uganda?
