Time:
12:00 PM

Event Type:
Panel Discussion
Organizer/Author:
Voices from the Holy Land (VFHL)
Location Details:
Israel is one of the world's top arms exporters, selling drones, cyber weapons, biometric systems, and crowd control tools to more than 130 countries, marketed as “combat-proven” after being deployed on Palestinians living under military occupation. This Round Table centers the human impact of this experimentation, examining how Palestinian lives are used as testing grounds for weapons, AI platforms, and policing tactics later exported worldwide.
Panelists will trace the connections between Israeli military and police forces and U.S. policing and immigration enforcement, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. From occupied Palestine to U.S. cities and detention centers, these technologies fuel shared systems of racialized violence, displacement, and population control.
