Gilad Atzmon: The Israeli Lab and the Palestinian Guinea Pigs!

The Lab is a new groundbreaking Israeli documentary film that re-defines our entire understanding of the Jewish State, 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% 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 state influence and support. Watch Foreign Generals shopping around: The Lab makes it evidently clear that the Palestinian civilian population in the West Bank and Gaza have become test subjects for Israeli tactics weaponry and fighting philosophy. 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 , perseverance and creativity when I see it, no matter into what service it is pressed.
