WAR AGAINST THE PEOPLE: ISRAEL, THE PALESTINIANS AND GLOBAL PACIFICATION
Book ID/图书代码: 10953015B84175
English Summary/英文概要: Modern warfare has a new form. The days of international combat are fading. So how do major world powers maintain control over their people today?
War Against the People is a disturbing insight into the new ways world powers such as the US, Israel, Britain and China forge war today. It is a subliminal war of surveillance and whitewashed terror, conducted through new, high-tech military apparatuses, designed and first used in Israel against the Palestinian population. Including hidden camera systems, sophisticated sensors, information databases on civilian activity, automated targeting systems and, in some cases, unmanned drones, it is used to control the very people the nation’s leaders profess to serve.
Drawing from years of research, as well as investigations and interviews conducted at international arms fairs, Jeff Halper reveals that this practice is much more insidious than was previously thought. As Western governments tighten the grip on their use of private information and claw back individual liberties, War Against the People is a timely reminder that fundamental human rights are being compromised for vast sections of the world, and that this is a subject that should concern everyone.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 现代军事出现了新的形式。国际斗争的时代渐渐退出历史舞台,现今几大世界强国又是如何控制其人民的?
《对抗人民的战争》剖析了诸如美国、以色列、英国和中国等世界强国在当下是如何采取新的方式制造“战争”的。这是一场没有硝烟的战争,是通过高科技军事仪器得以实现的监控,由以色列发明并首度用于对抗巴勒斯坦人民。这些仪器包括隐藏的摄像头、高端传感器、关于公民行为的信息数据库以及在某些场合下的无人侦察机,国家领导们利用这些仪器来控制他们宣称服务于的广大人民群众。
通过多年的研究调查以及于国际军火交易会上所开展的调查及访问,作者Jeff Halper揭露了比我们之前料想的更为阴险的行为。随着西方政府对其人民的私人信息的控制越来越严格,《对抗人民的战争》一书可谓及时敲响了警钟,世界上很多地方的基本人权正在遭到妥协,而这应当引起每个人的重视。(LYR)
Awards/获奖情况:对于关系世界和平以及巴勒斯坦人民困境的读者而言,这本书尤为重要。书中,作者将以色列对巴勒斯坦的领土占领置于其跨国军事产业复杂性的核心,并称其为“和解产业”。本书分析透彻,富有创新意识,令人佩服。(Andrew Feinstein,著有《影子世界》)
《对抗人民的战争》不仅是破译以色列对巴勒斯坦政策的关键,而且清晰的解释了以色列/巴勒斯坦在全球局势中的地位。本书探讨了当今是会最为复杂、也及其重要的话题之一,大大开拓了我的眼界,令人爱不释手。(Shir Hever,著有《以色列占领背后的政治经济》)
This is an important book for anyone who cares about peace, the plight of the Palestinian people and the role of Israel in the world of war. Halper’s fascinating book places the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories at the heart of its role in the transnational military industrial complex and what he calls the pacification industry. A brave, analytical and innovative book from an admirable activist and thinker. (Andrew Feinstein author “The Shadow World: Inside the Global Arms Trade")
War Against the People is not only a key to deciphering Israeli policies in Palestine, but also one of the clearest explanations that I have ever read on how important Israel/Palestine is in the world. It addresses with clarity and structure one of the most complex and yet extremely important topics of the securitisation of our society. His book has opened my eyes, and was a fascinating read. (Shir Hever, author of The Political Economy of Israel’s Occupation (Pluto, 2010))
