Police brutality against blacks a result of Israeli training: Analyst
US police treat African Americans the way Israel oppresses Palestinians as American law enforcement officers receive training in Israel, says an analyst.
More than a thousand African-American activists have expressed solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine and announced that they would join the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) global campaign against Israel.
In a recent letter, they “reaffirmed solidarity with the Palestinian struggle and commitment to the liberation of Palestine’s land and people,” Russia Today reported.
“Israel’s widespread use of detention and imprisonment against Palestinians evokes the mass incarceration of Black people in the US, including the political imprisonment of our own revolutionaries,” the letter reads.
Senior civil rights activists, such as scholars Cornel West and Angela Davis, and Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors, signed the document.
“With regard to the black activists… they could not be more spot-on with regard to drawing an analogy between the way the US police have been treating African Americans… and the way Israel is so racistly oppressive against the Palestinian people,” Morris said.
“For years now, the ADL, the Anti Defamation League of America, has been arranging for US police and other facets of law enforcement to travel to Israel to basically be indoctrinated apparently into the Israeli means of oppression of the Palestinian people,” he added.
“It’s no surprise to see that manifesting when they come back home to America,” Morris added.
He said states such as California, Washington, Connecticut, Maine, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania have been sending officers to Israel to receive training.
The “oppressive measures” not only used by the law enforcement agencies but also by guards at some US airports, Morris said.
