Empire’s Mirror: From Gaza to Georgia
The Transnational Through Line of State Violence, Policing, and Social Warfare from the IDF to ICE
📜 Overview
This investigative work examines the shared tactics, technologies, and ideologies binding together the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the increasingly militarized police infrastructure across American cities.
Focusing on 2023–2025, it uncovers how occupation strategies abroad are adapted for domestic repression, and how domestic policing innovations are exported internationally—creating a feedback loop of state violence.
