From the Pegasus software that hacked Jeff Bezos and Jamal Khashoggi's phones, the weapons sold to the Myanmar army that has murdered thousands of Rohingyas, and drones used by the European Union to monitor refugees in the Mediterranean, israel has become a global leader in spying technology and delence hardware that fuels the world's most gruesome conflicts. As ethno-nationalism grows in the twenty-first century, The Palestine Laboratory cautions against Israel's ultimate model of persecution.
