In light of what happened, it is relevant to take a look at some ressources:

https://antonyloewenstein.com/books/the-palestine-laboratory-how-israel-exports-the-technology-of-occupation-around-the-world/

Antony Lowenstein - Palestine Laboratory which gives some insight on how the surveillance technology but also military hardware are tested on Palestine to be sold into the world. I think we can see Israel conflicts with its neighbouring countries as a giant tradeshow to sell the tech to potential buyers.

I also find it insightful some interviews by Electronic Intifada done with Shir Hever:

He is the author of the article done on Mondoweiss regarding the prolonged war can inflict a blow in Israeli economy. What I find relevant is the case he mentioned on France's Carrefour expansion into Israel. Carrefour wanted to expand into the country, but there are concerns regarding the ethical practice of some of the expansion, the company didn't want to expand inside Palestinian settlement (not for any moral arguments, but there are fear that it can be complicit in Israeli colonization and occupation). However, the Israeli court rules out that Carrefour can't decide where they can or can't open a store which to according to Shir implies that there are some political exceptionalism Israel can exercise on people who wants to do business in the country, which can lead to people thinking twice in investing into a country that doesn't allow you to have a legal even playground.

TLDR, the states exceptionalism is not good for the civilian sector of global capitalism to operate in, expecially if corporation know the trajectory of the next generation wouldn't have a positive opinion regarding the Israeli state.

In the second interview, Shir mentioned that Israel's main export is really in its military and surveillance sectorw, he does say that October 7th does make potential buyers question its military hardware performances, but I think today's cellphone's attack does give some Israel a good demonstration on some of its potential in terms of surveillance and population control.

I think it's important to not neglect today's attack in its context especially regarding the current state of the world which climate change causing social instability can push some states appetite to consider buying Israeli savoir faire in order to control its population more efficiently (border control, policing tech, surveillance, etc.).

In the future, we will all be Palestinians

And they're having AOC campaign against her old party (and acting like she's never even heard of the Green Party that she took the Green New Deal from)

Tbf If i’m a high level politician with the dem, i would keep a person who betrays her old party on a leash and keep giving them crumbs

AOC’s brain must have melted since there is enough space for Jill Stein to live rent free in her skull.

Also inb4 Jill Stein is a grifter. Yeah let’s pretend that AOC didn’t pull the biggest grift bangers such as the border photo ops and getting endorsements from the DSA

夏皮罗用事实和逻辑摧毁中华人民共和国和中华人民共和国主席及国家中央军委主席习近平

 

''I’ve experienced transport being excessively controlled by the Taliban, and I can assure you it sucks. Their IED campaign in Afghanistan’s Helmand province was so deadly effective that the British Army lost its freedom of movement. Admittedly the use of IEDs is an extreme form of traffic fines—but the principle is the same: someone else interdicting your movement. It changes everything. ''
