South Africa But Make it Dave & Busters

<p>This week Lara and Michael discuss the bombshell Washington Post report exposing a vast dragnet surveillance system used by the IDF against all Palestinian society. Programs Blue Wolf and Wolfpack use state-of-the-art facial recognition technology to track and identify all movements by Palestinians, "a secret Facebook for Palestinians" according to an IDF soldier. Palestinians are given a rating, and color to indicate whether or not to arrest them. Squid Games anyone? The system was built by incentivizing military units to take pictures of everyone from children to elders even competing for prizes. We discuss the work being done to expose the occupation by Citizen Lab in Toronto and cover the Israeli Pegasus spy software found on numerous phones of diplomats, journalists, activists, etc. Michael discusses how Zionism is impacting academic freedom in the UK with the termination of Professor David Miller. We chat about Biden's milquetoast platitudes towards funding UNWRA as they unravel by the day. Finally, we talk about how the occupation is attempting to acquire Bunker Buster bombs from the USA because bombing above ground is so early 2000's. </p>
