We are all Palestinians.
There is no separation between Israeli’s political system, military, intelligence agencies, and technology corporations. There is virtually no separation between those elements and their counterparts in the U.S., and Israel’s influence is almost as pervasive in other Western governments and bureaucracies.
The Palestinians, both before and after October 7, 2023, have been the beta test for Israeli surveillance, control, and military technologies. Israel’s recent attack on Iran, particular its assassinations of key Iranian figures, signaled that those technologies have moved beyond beta and confirmed their effectiveness.
Unit 8200 is an elite Israeli military intelligence division of the IDF responsible for, according to Wikipedia, “clandestine operation, collecting signal intelligence (SIGINT) and code decryption, counterintelligence, cyberwarfare, military intelligence, and surveillance.” Many of its soldiers are 18- to 21-years old, who were identified in high school as exceptionally bright and put in after-school programs teaching computer coding and hacking skills. Unit 8200 has served as a feeder for Israeli, Silicon Valley, and other international IT companies as founders, financiers, and top management.
