I
guess that enough Palestinians in Gaza do realize by now that they have been
part of an Israeli experiment. Every too often we learn from Palestinian
doctors that while treating casualties of Israeli aggression they encounter new
types of wounds. The Lab explains it but it isn’t Palestine
alone. We also witness a growing similarity between the operational mode of
police forces around the world and the IDF treatment of the Palestinians.”

The Lab is
a new groundbreaking Israeli documentary film that redefines our entire
understanding of the Jewish entity, its aims, its identity and its global
destructive role. I honestly believe that this film is the deepest and most
important commentary on Israel.
In The
Lab, Director Yotam Feldman exposes the Israeli military industry and its
operation. He interviews some major protagonists within Israel’s ‘security’
trade. He elaborates on the role of the industry within the Israeli society and
economy – in the last few years Israeli security exports reached an
unprecedented level of $7 billion a year. A full 20 percent of Israeli exports
are military or military-related. Approximately 150,000 families in Israel are
dependent on that industry. Israel is now the fourth biggest military exporter.
In
the last decade, every Israeli military operation led to an immediate sharp
increase in sales of Israeli military export around the world: weaponry,
systems, intelligence, strategies, doctrines, knowledge and experience.
Feldman
provides us with a glimpse into a very organized universe. We visit Israeli
weapon fairs around the world but we also see arenas filled to capacity with
foreign generals, public officials and diplomats. They are all shopping for
Israeli military products. The message is clear, the 7 billion dollars is just
part of the story. Israeli military elite is now deeply interwoven with the political
and military elite of every country around the globe. This emerging Israeli
business buys the Jewish entity influence and support.
The Lab makes it evidently clear
that the Palestinian civilian population in the West Bank and Gaza has become
test subjects for Israeli tactics, weaponry and fighting philosophy (‘Fighting
Torah’, Torat Lechima – as the Israelis call it). The destruction of the
Palestinians has now been transformed into a very profitable industry. We are
dealing here with nothing short of highly calculated murder.
Through
a set of fascinating interviews, Feldman conveys a very genuine picture of the
Israeli death merchants. Feldman lets them talk, he hardly interferes. They are
sharp, they are genuine, they are even funny at times, occasionally witty, and
a few of them, might even be charming if you did not know who they are. But
make no mistake, they are sinister, some of them are clearly psychotic, they
are mass murderers and they are free. They sell destruction and havoc and do it
very successfully.
Being
myself an Israeli-born and raised successful musician and writer, I think I can
recognize Israeli dedication … when I see it, no matter into what service it is
pressed. Those Israeli death angels’ talent is driven into the amplification of
human misery. The consequences are tragic.
Game
Changer
It is far from being a secret that a century of Palestinian struggle led to practically nothing. The state of the Palestinian solidarity movement is even more embarrassing. Feldman’sThe Lab is a game changer, for it can explain decades of impotence.
We are immersed in flawed
terminology – ‘colonialism’, ‘apartheid’, ‘conflict’, ‘solution’, ‘Zionism’ are
just few examples.It is far from being a secret that a century of Palestinian struggle led to practically nothing. The state of the Palestinian solidarity movement is even more embarrassing. Feldman’sThe Lab is a game changer, for it can explain decades of impotence.
Gaza is now a vast laboratory – the Israelis are the ‘scientists’ and the ‘technicians’, the Palestinians are the ‘guinea pigs’. Watching The Lab must lead all of us to fundamentally question our notions. We are dealing with a premeditated war crime. The notion of resolution (as in ‘two-state solution’), for instance, is not applicable. It is clear beyond doubt that in the real world, the ‘scientist’ does not negotiate with the ‘guinea pig’. The ‘scientist’ also doesn’t consider sharing reality with his ‘guinea pig’ in a ‘one democratic state.’ The Lab is a glimpse into the Israeli mind: you clearly do not find much compassion there.
For decades we were foolish to examine the success and failure of Israeli military operations in reference to Israeli military and political ‘objectives’, as we surmised them. We were clearly wrong.
As we learn from Feldman’s film, the real objective of Israeli operations may as well be examining new doctrines and operational systems in order to distribute them around the world soon after. Ehud Barak, for instance, wasn’t exactly the most sophisticated Israeli minister of defense; he clearly failed to defend his people or even make them feel secure. However, he was very successful in selling Israeli weapons and doctrines.
Tel Aviv being subject to a barrage of Qassam rockets may be seen by Israelis as devastating news, but from a military industrial point of view, it was a golden opportunity to examine and promote the Israeli anti-missile system Iron Dome. If I am correct here, it becomes clear that like the Palestinians, more and more Israelis are also becoming ‘guinea pigs’ in this ever-growing military laboratory.
One may wonder how and when “the Zionist dream” transformed itself into a military business. Only a few of us, writers and scholars, have attempted to answer this question. The transformation of the Jewish entity into an oppression factory is apparently a direct outcome of Israel’s supremacist ideology. If we want to understand what is happening in the Jewish entity, we must first grasp the notions of “chosen-ness,” “Jewish-ness” and Jewish identity politics.
I guess that enough Palestinians in Gaza do realize by now that they have been part of an Israeli experiment. Every too often we learn from Palestinian doctors that while treating casualties of Israeli aggression they encounter new types of wounds. The Lab explains it but it isn’t Palestine alone. We also witness a growing similarity between the operational mode of police forces around the world and the IDF treatment of the Palestinians.
Watching Yotam Feldman’s The Lab explains it all. We are all Palestinians. We are either occupied by Israel or by its proxy forces around the world – those who are trained in Israel and implement Israeli weaponry and tactics.
