Hagana Security Company: Zionism Arming Brazil<\/strong><\/p>\n In our streets, in our buildings, and in our gated communities, a system is quietly growing. It\u2019s not just a business project, but an ideological one. Its name:\u00a0Hagana Security<\/strong>. And that name is no minor detail. It\u2019s a warning\u2014a sign of a colonial project being imported from occupied Palestine to Brazilian soil.<\/p>\n This article is not just an analysis. It is a political and technical indictment. But it is also a cry of resistance.<\/p>\n 1. Nom de guerre: Colonial Memory Etched in a Brand<\/strong><\/p>\n Hagana<\/strong>\u00a0(Hebrew: \u05d4\u05d2\u05e0\u05d4; often spelled \u201cHaganah\u201d in English) doesn\u2019t just mean \u201cdefense.\u201d It was the name of a Zionist militia founded in 1920 to carry out ethnic cleansing against Palestinians. Between 1947 and 1948, the Hagana was responsible for horrific massacres, such as the Deir Yassin massacre, and for the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and the destruction of over 500 Palestinian villages.<\/p>\n What many don\u2019t know is that this militia collaborated with the Nazi regime in the 1930s through what was known as the Haavara Agreement, which facilitated the transfer of German Jews to Palestine in exchange for economic privileges and joint military training. Yes, when it comes to colonialism, the most criminal ideologies can align for a single goal: occupying land and replacing its people.<\/p>\n In Brazil, naming a security company \u201cHagana\u201d is not innocent. It is a salute to a military doctrine of occupation and segregation. It is a brand that carries blood, expulsion, and racial supremacy. It is not about \u201cdefense,\u201d but domination.<\/p>\n 2. From Occupied Land to the Brazilian Market: Founders as Agents of Military Doctrine<\/strong><\/p>\n Hagana Security was founded in Brazil by Chen Gilad and Jos\u00e9-Bernardo Markuz\u2014both former officers in the Israeli occupation army, with direct military and intelligence backgrounds from the fields of repression targeting the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n These men didn\u2019t bring \u201ccivil\u201d security expertise; they brought a colonial doctrine of repression that is now being turned into a commercial service on our soil.<\/p>\n Their r\u00e9sum\u00e9s are not business credentials \u2014 they are extensions of colonial war, now applied to a new market: the everyday life of the Brazilian population.<\/p>\n 3. Technology as a Tool of Domination: From Occupied Palestine to Surveilled Cities<\/strong><\/p>\n Hagana doesn\u2019t just sell security services\u2014it offers a full-spectrum model of surveillance and control, based on technologies developed in a colonial environment, the occupied land of Palestine. Some of the tools currently in use include:<\/p>\n In Gaza, these technologies were used to hunt militants, neutralize journalists, monitor children, and punish entire families for their political affiliations. Today, the same technologies are exported to Brazil and applied against poor and working-class communities. In Brazil, the rhetoric is one of \u201cefficiency,\u201d but the logic is the same: identify, catalog, control, punish.<\/p>\n The growth of the company is alarming:<\/p>\n \u2022 In 2023, the Haganah Group reached\u00a0R$890 million in revenue<\/strong>. This expansion is not entrepreneurial merit but the result of exporting a racist and colonial security doctrine.<\/strong><\/p>\n 4. Official Complicity: How Does the Brazilian State Allow This?<\/strong><\/p>\n The most alarming aspect of all this is the\u00a0silence and complicity of the Brazilian state<\/strong>. How can a country that claims sovereignty allow a company founded by former occupation soldiers to operate freely on its land? To collect data on millions? To monitor civilian communities without oversight?<\/p>\n The state, through its civil and security institutions, normalizes Hagana\u2019s presence as if it were an ordinary security company. No one questions the founders\u2019 backgrounds. No one reviews the source of its technology. No one debates its real objectives.<\/p>\n Haganah operates freely in Brazil, with public and private contracts, without any critical regulation of its ties, its history, or its methods. The Brazilian government \u2014 whether out of ignorance, opportunism, or convenience \u2014 is complicit in this process. It allows a company with a colonial DNA to collect massive amounts of data on the population, control condominium entrances, record faces, track behaviors \u2014 all without public transparency, under the label of \u201cprivate initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n This is not a bureaucratic error. It is a political choice. 5. The Real Project: Racialized Surveillance, Privatization of Repression, and Digital Colonialism<\/strong><\/p>\n Haganah\u2019s model is the armed wing of racial surveillance capitalism. In the occupied territories of Palestine, the target was the Palestinian. In Brazil, the targets are the poor, Black, marginalized, and dissident populations. The logic is the same: framing life under suspicion.<\/p>\n Haganah privatizes functions that are typically state responsibilities: control of public space, collection of biometric data, indirect policing, containment of populations. All of this is sold as \u201chigh-performance security.\u201d<\/p>\n But what is being installed here is a tropicalized version of the Israeli occupation. An algorithmic apartheid disguised as a technological solution. The architecture of control moves through sensors, cameras, and corporate contracts. But behind it is the same ideology that bombs hospitals in Gaza and sets up checkpoints in Nablus.<\/p>\n\n
\n
\u2022 It is projected to reach\u00a0R$1 billion in 2024<\/strong>, with expansion to Curitiba, Belo Horizonte, the interior of S\u00e3o Paulo, and the southern region.
\u2022 Today, it already employs\u00a0more than 13,000 workers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\nThat\u2019s why we say clearly: Hagana cannot be confronted without also confronting this complicity. All institutional, legal, and commercial ties with the company must be immediately severed.<\/p>\n
