🇨🇦🇬🇧 They talk about embargoes and restrictions on settlement "goods."
Fine.
But where is the IT embargo?
Modern armament isn't just:
🍊 goods
🔫 rifles
💣 bombs
🚀 missiles
It is also:
☁️ cloud infrastructure
🧠 AI targeting
🗄️ databases
👁️ surveillance
📡 communications
💻 cybersecurity
📊 data analytics
🎯 algorithmic targeting
Gaza has made the point brutally clear: Lavender, "Where's Daddy?" and The Gospel/Habsora put software, databases and algorithmic systems directly into the machinery of war.
Yet where are the bans on technological cooperation?
Where are the restrictions aimed at the corporations supplying cloud, AI, database and surveillance infrastructure?
Where is the firewall between Israeli military/security technology and Western governments, corporations and police?
You cannot describe modern warfare as technologically sophisticated and then design an "embargo" as though warfare still begins and ends at the loading dock.
🍊 Ban the fruit.
☁️ Leave the cloud connected.
🧠 Leave the AI running.
🗄️ Leave the databases querying.
👁️ Leave the surveillance infrastructure operating.
💰 Leave the largest corporate relationships untouched.
That's the story.
The interesting part of an embargo isn't only what governments prohibit.
🔎 It's what they carefully leave outside the embargo.
