Palestine is the laboratory of the whole world
What is it Which happens in Palestine? Among other things – product development.
After 700 days of intensified genocide, it was as if someone pulled a plug from the Swedish audience. Suddenly the politicians, organizations and media houses that have been silent for months are not to look away from looking away while the Palestinian children starve. But something is missing.
In the Aftonbladet campaign “Do not look away”, in Folkteater’s lecture of stories about Gaza’s children, the cause of the death of the children is largely completely absent. The majority of the texts and the published calls of mentioning that the cause of the suffering of the children of Israel is spelled, and by extension, the friends of Israel who have supported the violence in Palestine for decades.
So it’s still not about Palestinian lives. The photos of the children are there for everyone to see for months. Instead, the vigilant conviction of violence against them about the Israeli project, which is also the Western project, is to survive.
Journalist Antony Loewenstein Released in 2023 the book “The Palestine Laboratory” Such as spring 2025 was published in the Swedish translation On Ashes Publisher. In the book Loewenstein shows how Israel uses the Palestinian territories, and the civilian population that was blocked there, to test new weapons and security techniques. What he calls “the architecture of control” is then exported to countries around the world. The technology and politics that are tested in Palestine are becoming worldwide.
Sweden has intensive trade with Israel. Among the genocide we have concluded an agreement with Israeli companies, among other things Management systems for the army And a goalkeeper system for the Jacket 39 Gripen that is being marketed as “tested under actual combat conditions”. That is, because Bomb goals in Gaza. There is also information that Säpo tried to buy the Staatstrojan horses called Pegasus Secret interception in Sweden. Technology investments go hand in hand with the implementation of authoritarian legislation. The police can now intercept and are looking for people who are not suspected of crime. Visitation zones can be located in your residential area, where everyone can be visited without a criminal suspicion. In some cases, the police can perform an anonymous exercise of authority and if you are accused of certain crimes, you can be prosecuted by anonymous witnesses. Penalties that Sweden will give the highest prison population per head of the population in the EU is on the table.
The monitoring and penalty machine That is quickly built up, may not look that bad, for those who view only one new law at the same time. The general picture, however, is a society that is in many ways comparable to the Israelis, where some have to live in a permanent state of emergency and earn others money with the technology it maintains. This is also the reason why Our Minister of Foreign Affairs still does not want to release the worn -out expression that “Israel has the right to defend himself”, even if she discovered that it would be contrary to international law When the entire Gaza was occupied. Israel cannot go so far to complete ethnic cleansing, because it would show how the entire Western political community in which the state of Israel is included is based on the removal of people and violence for profit.
Palestine, just like Antony Loewenstein has shown, is the laboratory of the whole world. This is where the new world order is being tested, here the technology and politics must also control us. We will all be Palestinians soon. It is only hope that we are rich to arrange the same compassion, solidarity and willingness to fight that the Palestinian people showed despite the bombs that rained over them.
