The Israeli Military rely on research and technological developments from Israel’s universities. As the European Coordination of Committees and Associations for Palestine (ECCP) note “Technion University has become virtually the R&D wing of the Israeli military. In 2008 it opened a center for developing electro-optics in partnership with Elbit, one of the largest Israeli weapons companies. Technion has manufactured technologies specifically to torment recalcitrant populations. The ‘Scream‘ is a ‘non-lethal’ acoustic system that ‘creates sound levels that are unbearable to humans at distances up to 100 meters’, according to Technion. This crowd-control weapon is mainly used to suppress peaceful demonstrations in the occupied Palestinian territories”
