How the #US and #Israel exchange tactics in violence and control
Two decades of Israeli-US #police cooperation includes training in #RacialProfiling and #ViolentSuppression of #protests.
By Mersiha Gadzo
Published On 12 Jun 2020"Following the killing of #GeorgeFloyd, as US riot police fired rubber-coated bullets, #TearGas canisters, #PepperSpray and #StunGrenades at #protesters, #Palestinians shared tips on social media on how to best deal with the assaults.
Many in the Palestinian territories are well experienced with such tactics by security forces while living under a decades-long occupation by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank and besieged Gaza Strip.
According to the organisations #JewishVoiceForPeace (#JVP) and Researching the American-Israeli Alliance (#RAIA), one common theme shared between United States and Israel is the exchange of tactics and expertise in state violence, which has been ongoing for 18 years.
Months after the September 11 attacks, US law enforcement delegates attended their first official training expedition to Israel to exchange “best practices” in “counter-terrorism”.
Since then, thousands more from across the US – including agents from the FBI, CIA, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) – have been schooled at these meetings in both Israel and the US, sponsored by far-right Israeli lobby organisations.
But instead of promoting effective security for communities, the programme facilitates an exchange of tactics used in police violence and control including mass surveillance, racial profiling and the suppression of protests and dissent, according to the JVP and RAIA’s 2018 report (PDF) titled Deadly Exchange, which details the extent of the cooperation.
Among the thousands of US law enforcement officers who have reportedly participated in the exchange over the years was Anoka County (North Minneapolis) Sherrif James Stuart, who travelled to Israel in December. "

Dangerous exchange: Israeli forces international training
January 31, 2024
"The Israeli regime has developed military and police international training and exchange programmes, exporting its killing skills worldwide and using its military occupation and repressive apartheid system as a selling point.
What countries are engaging in such programmes?
The Israeli military is selling its militarized and repressive model worldwide, promoting the illegal occupation as a standard.
Many countries have engaged in joint military and police forces training and exchanges.
The US military funding to Israel amounts to USD$3,8 billion per year.
In addition there are constant exchanges of practices in military technology and police tactics through training programmes that bring together US police, ICE, border patrol, and FBI with Israeli soldiers, police and border agents.
These programmes promote racial profiling, massive spying and surveillance, deportation and detention, and attacks on human rights defenders.
In 2023, for the first time, Israeli soldiers took part in the “African Lion”, the biggest military exercise event of the continent which took place in Morocco.
The two regimes normalized relations after the signing of the Abraham Accords in 2020. Morocco also bought different types of surveillance and attack drones from Israel, suspected to be used against occupied Western Sahara.
The Abraham Accords’ main outcome was to increase military and police cooperation between the Israeli regime and Gulf countries.
Since the signing, diplomatic, military and intelligence contacts and contracts have expanded fast between Israel, the UAE and Bahrain, bound together by “concern” over Iran’s activities.
In 2021, UAE and Bahrain navies held their first joint military exercise with Israeli warships, co-ordinated by the US Navy.
Indian police services officers have been trained in “counter-terror warfare” by the Israeli Police as part of a work agreement signed between the Israel Ministry of Public Security and the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs in 2014.
Indian police is infamous for its human rights violations especially in Kashmir, which include documented torture, rape, custodial killings and the detention extended periods without legal proceedings."

#Maine police have been armed with nearly $10M worth of #military equipment
by Nick Schroeder, June 15th 2020
"A #Pentagon program has outfitted state and local law enforcement agencies in Maine with nearly $10 million worth of surplus #military equipment since its inception.
"A vast quantity of rifles, riot gear, armored vehicles, computers, night-vision scopes and cold-weather gear deemed surplus by the Department of Defense has been transferred to civilian law enforcement agencies across the U.S. through the federal Defense Logistics Agency. The program, known as the #1033program, has equipped campus police, Maine’s warden service and police departments in several small Maine towns with large concentrations of military-grade and tactical equipment.
"It’s alarmed advocates who warn against a creeping militarization of municipal police forces. Michael Kebede, a lawyer with the #ACLU of Maine, called the accumulation of military equipment 'disturbing.'
"Such 'weapons of war' have been used in drug searches and raids since the first Bush administration launched the 'War on Drugs' in the 1990s, Kebede said.
“'The primary targets tend to be black and Latino people,' he said.
"The Obama administration restricted the 1033 program in 2014 after law enforcement agencies in #Ferguson, Missouri, deployed armored vehicles and other equipment obtained through it to suppress #AntiRacist uprisings after police shot and killed Michael Brown. The #Trump administration reversed those restrictions in August 2017, after heavy police union lobbying."

#Militarization of the police has been going on for a while -- and it's just getting worse!
Report: SWAT Teams Armed With Military Equipment Spend Most of Their Time Waging the Drug War
The ACLU finds that SWAT teams spend more time kicking down suspected drug offenders’ doors than rescuing hostages or stopping gunmen.
By Steven Hsieh, June 24, 2014
"The scope of police militarization in America would not be possible without the help of the federal government. Programs run by the Defense Department and Department of Homeland Security provide millions of dollars’ worth of military equipment to police departments every year, while grant money from the Justice Department is often used to buy weapons and body armor. For example, the North Little Rock Police Department in Arkansas received thirty-four semi-automatic rifles from the DOD, along with two MARCbots (military robots used in Afghanistan), ground troop helmets and a Mamba tactical vehicle."
