US Police - Army of Zionist
Occupation?

Some Interesting Points Made...
What free
society would allow its law enforcement to belong to a satanic cult?
Zionism,
along with Communism, are Masonic orders. As Justin Gardner reveals,
they are increasingly trained and coordinated by Israel. Your tax dollars
may be financing a nascent army of Masonic Jewish occupation. In the future,
Americans could be in the same position as Palestinians. Dispossessed.
When
McKinney, TX police officer David Eric Casebolt brutally took down a teenage girl at a pool party in
June 2015, he was using a form of martial arts called Krav Maga in which he
trained exclusively. These combat techniques were developed by the Israel
Defense Forces (IDF).
This is a
small reflection of a larger reality that exists in U.S. law enforcement, one
that helps explain the brutality and militarization that now characterizes so
many police forces. Since 9/11, cops have been traveling abroad to learn
from one of the most repressive and dangerous State forces in the world
today--the Israeli military and intelligence apparatus.
Political commentator John Miranda
recently stated that police brutality is directly linked to the training some
officers receive in Israel.
"As for the increase in police
brutality within the United States, I think this definitely can be pointed
towards the Israeli training that the Department of Homeland Security is giving
all of American police officers. Some police officers are actually being
flown to Israel for the training, not all of them but some, and then those that
are flown to Israel, they come back home and they train the head officers in
the training that they've gotten in Israel. All these incidents, it is not
just happening to African Americans. Police are literally being brutal with all
Americans."
At least 300 high-ranking U.S.
sheriffs and police from all over the country, as well as FBI and US Customs
and Border Protection agents, have traveled to Israel to learn first-hand the
most efficient means of subduing populations. The purported reason is
counterterrorism, but protests and crowd control methods are commonly discussed.
Police are not learning from the
Israeli criminal law sector that deals with Jewish residents. U.S. police
are learning from Israel's military justice system, which controls Palestinians
through paramilitary and counterinsurgency tactics. Residents of Gaza and
the West Bank live in what is essentially a giant prison camp, where oppression
and brutality from the IDF is a way of life. The use of excessive or
deadly force for crowd control is rarely questioned.
Three organizations are responsible
for sending U.S. cops to Israel for training--the Anti-Defamation League (ADL),
the American Jewish Committee's Project Interchange and the Jewish Institute
for National Security Affairs. The ADL insulted victims of police
brutality last month when it honored the St. Louis Police Department (SLPD)
just days ahead of the anniversary of Michael Brown's killing. The SLPD
was the first department to enroll in ADL's training program.
The St. Louis Chapter of Jewish
Voices for Peace issued a scathing statement in response: "We have cringed
as the ADL positions itself locally as a champion of racial profiling
legislation while sending US police - including former St. Louis County Police
Chief Tim Fitch - to train on population control in Israel, an apartheid police
state with more than 60 years of sophisticated expertise in racial profiling,
mass incarceration, settler colonialism, and ethnic cleansing targeting the
non-Jewish indigenous Palestinian people."
This occupation-style policing has
made its way to U.S. cities and towns and has become standard operating
procedure at any protest of government. Also, the very same equipment
used by Israeli military for crowd control--tear gas grenades, triple chaser
gas canisters, and stun grenades--were used at demonstrations in Ferguson,
Oakland and Anaheim. The LRAD (long-range acoustic device) was also used
by both Ferguson police and Israeli military forces.
Rashid Khalidi, the Edward Said
professor of modern Arab studies at Columbia University, notes how militarized
U.S. police reflect the training that is received in Israel and spread
throughout the ranks.
"If American police and
sheriffs consider they're in occupation of neighborhoods like Ferguson and East
Harlem, this training is extremely appropriate - they're learning how to
suppress a people, deny their rights and use force to hold down a subject
population."
To complement this Israeli military
training that ramped up in the mid-2000s, the Pentagon and Homeland Security
started the 1033 program which funnelled billions of dollars of military-grade
equipment to local law enforcement. MRAPS and military weapons have
become all too familiar on American streets.
What order-following,
state-sanctioned thug is going to refuse the most advanced tactics and tool of
repression? Shakeel Syed, executive director of the Islamic Shura Council
of Southern California, described how U.S. police tactics are "a near
replica" of Israeli military crowd control tactics.
"Whether it is in Ferguson or
L.A., we see a similar response all the time in the form of a disproportionate
number of combat-ready police with military gear who are ready to use tear gas
at short notice. Whenever you find 50 people at a demonstration, there is
always a SWAT team in sight or right around the corner."
This increasingly common scenario is
indicative of law enforcement that views the populace as the enemy.
Peaceful protests of unjust government practices are fundamental to the
progression of society. Police with militarized tactics and gear are the
progenitors of violence.
Jimmy Johnson of the Israeli
Committee Against House Demolitions explains how the training of U.S. law
enforcement by Israeli military represents a grave threat to the idea of
democracy.
"Israeli methods are sought out
and adopted for their perceived quality, largely led by the government's
marketing of them. But the relationships established between agencies of order,
whether they be drug enforcement, civil policing, customs officials, tactical
police units or any other, are done entirely outside the democratic
realm...This is the danger of agencies of authority going through processes of
professionalization and integration with their foreign counterparts. It's often
a strictly technocratic regime that can affect the public greatly but is done
without its active knowledge or participation."
If we are to end the militarization
of U.S. law enforcement, one of the most important parts of that will be
stopping the training of police by the Israeli military and intelligence
apparatus. We do not want their methods of repression and brutality
replicated here.
