The Lab
Since 9/11, the Israeli arms industry is doing bigger business than ever before. Large Israeli companies develop methods and test the vessels of future warfare, which are then sold worldwide by private Israeli agents. At the same time Israeli theoreticians explain to various foreign countries how to defeat civil and para-military resistance according to the extensive Israeli experience.
The film reveals The Lab, which has transformed the Israeli military occupation of Gaza and the West Bank from a burden to a marketable, highly profitable asset.
