REMEMBER: #ISRAEL TRAINED #FERGUSON #POLICE. Israel maintains an extensive network of relations with U.S. enforcement agencies at the local, state, and federal levels. It is no coincidence that the Ferguson & St. Louis county police forces were trained in Israel in recent years. These connections are so important that the influential American Israel Public Affair Committee touts their success and their Jewish virtual Library lists police training as a separate category of U.S.- Israel relations. Over the years, thousands of U.S. Personnel at all levels of law enforcement and hundreds of senior managers, from local police chiefs to FBI detectives, have taken counterterrorism training in Israel or attended conferences sponsored by the Israeli government, security-minded conservative think tanks and even the anti-Defamation league with little to no scrutiny for their role in their militarization of our police forces. But for once it seems that Americans are coming to grips with their reality far more squarely than Israelis.
