Palestinians, as well as some left-wing Jews, are being suspended from studies, fired from jobs, or arrested at night — all because of social media posts.

    Hunh? You think that the USA is a police state because we use similar police uniforms with Israel?

      I’ll make a bet we’ve trained them and a us company probably made and sold that uniform to them, hence export.

          Crosstraining, they train us in operating open air concentration camps and we teach them how to gas protestors.

        Extremely unlikely we are doing any of those things. US textiles are fairly expensive compared to almost all nations and there would be no reason to have US police training Israeli police since they follow different standards and do not encounter similar crime.

          US made doesn’t mean made in the us, more often then not it means made in Indonesia, shipped to the US, tags applied and resold. The US is quite literally the largest manufacturer and exporter of police equipment in the world by a large large margin.

          They literally crosstrain with a police department that’s so goddamn bad the federal government has to step in several times and their drug task force was disbanded and charged with drug traffic and criminal acts including torture and murder.

            Ok but your example is the reverse situation where the Israelis are training American police after the US police crossed too many lines. So this isn’t an example of the US training Israel to be more brutal but rather the Israelis theoretically training them to be less.

              No it isn’t, Baltimore is still under consent decree and they didn’t go to Israel to get better at picking, they went to go get better at oppression which is what I said.

                You literally suggest Americans trained Israelis and now that isn’t true you are claiming you said the opposite.

                  They did train isrealis! It’s in both articles! They trained us we trained them, different things, different reasons different results.

                    Your source only talks about Israelis training Americans. It never mentions at any point Americans training Israelis
