Tech Won’t Save Us is an invaluable podcast, hosted by Paris Marx, that takes a critical look at the tech world. I was interviewed by Paris in July about my book, The Palestine Laboratory.
After the horrific Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October, Paris reached out to discuss the ramifications of the onslaught and how Israel’s hi-tech warfare may be impacted:

Hamas was unbelievably sophisticated, potentially with outside help to breach one of the most sophisticated militaries in the world. That would seem to be a reason why a lot of states would be more reticent to buy Israeli surveillance tech. But I doubt that’ll happen for a few reasons.
