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 spyware undermines global democracy
A key part of my new book, The Palestine Laboratory, revolves around Israeli spyware. US outlet In These Times has published an edited extract from this section.

The new film on Robert Fisk, This Is Not A Movie, and my (mini) appearance
Last September in Jerusalem and the West Bank, I spent two days with the acclaimed Middle East correspondent for The Independent, Robert Fisk, and a film crew while they were making a documentary about his work, life and journalism in the modern age. Acclaimed director Yung Chang and a host of others travelled in Israel and the…
