...the construction… of six massive, resource-hungry corporate data centers.” The continued occupation of—and concomitant resource extraction from—the Palestinian territories are likely to be central to the maintenance of these new data centres. It is impossible to separate the western protection of Israeli interests in Palestine and the region more broadly from its role in securing these lands and ecologies for capital.
