Abstract:
Public health initiatives directed towards the mitigation of COVID-19 vary tremendously from country to country, depending on social-historical and political-economic factors. In the case of Israel/Palestine, already existing health disparities are reproduced more starkly in COVID-19 conditions. However, Israel's colonial project in Palestine also appears in sharp relief, seen most clearly in the controversial involvement of the Israeli Security Authority (Shin Bet) in mass surveillance, digital contact tracing, and related high-tech policing of quarantine orders.
