The extreme militarization of American police forces has been brought to public attention by the tactics employed against Occupy protesters, which often appear more appropriate to counter-terrorism operations than to the control of non-violent protest. According to investigative journalist Max Blumenthal, however, the proper term for this ruthless suppression of dissent should be "Israelification."

In an article which begins with examples of American police training alongside Israeli security forces, Blumenthal writes, "Having been schooled in Israeli tactics perfected during a 63 year experience of controlling, dispossessing, and occupying an indigenous population, local police forces have adapted them to monitor Muslim and immigrant neighborhoods in US cities. Meanwhile, former Israeli military officers have been hired to spearhead security operations at American airports and suburban shopping malls, leading to a wave of disturbing incidents of racial profiling, intimidation, and FBI interrogations of innocent, unsuspecting people. The New York Police Department's disclosure that it deployed 'counter-terror' measures against Occupy protesters encamped in downtown Manhattan's Zuccotti Park is just the latest example of the so-called War on Terror creeping into every day life. Revelations like these have raised serious questions about the extent to which Israeli-inspired tactics are being used to suppress the Occupy movement."

According to Blumenthal, the transformation began after September 11, when American law enforcement officers began to look to the Israelis for counter-terrorism expertise and in response the Israel Lobby "provid[ed] thousands of top cops with all-expenses paid trips to Israel and stateside training sessions with Israeli military and intelligence officials."

Many of these trips and training sessions were arranged by JINSA, the stridently pro-Israel organization whose advisors have included such prominent Neocons as Douglas Feith and Richard Perle.

The Anti-Defamation League has also provided Israeli-run training senssions to over 700 police officers through its course on Extremist and Terroist Threats and claims to have provided a background in Israeli perspectives to another 45,000 through its Law Enforcement and Society program, which is required training for all new FBI agents.

The Israeli influence has been particularly strong in New York City where, Blumenthal writes, "under the leadership of Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, ties between the NYPD and Israel have deepened by the day. Kelly embarked on his first trip to Israel in early 2009 to demonstrate his support for Israel's ongoing assault on the Gaza Strip. Kelly returned to Israel the following year to speak at the Herziliya Conference, an annual gathering of neoconservative security and government officials who obsess over supposed 'demographic threats.' Back in New York, the NYPD set up a secret 'Demographics Unit' designed to spy on and monitor Muslim communities around the city."

Not only dissidents but even ordinary criminals may be treated as terrorists under the Israel model, which can also include the routine use of torture. Karen Greenberg, director of Fordham School of Law's Center on National Security, told Blumenthal, "After 9/11 we reached out to the Israelis on many fronts and one of those fronts was torture. The training in Iraq and Afghanistan on torture was Israeli training. There's been a huge downside to taking our cue from the Israelis and now we're going to spread that into the fabric of everyday American life? It's counter-terrorism creep. And it's exactly what you could have predicted would have happened."

"Given the amount of training the NYPD and so many other police forces have received from Israel's military-intelligence apparatus," Blumenthal concludes, "and the profuse levels of gratitude American police chiefs have expressed to their Israeli mentors, it is worth asking how much Israeli instruction has influenced the way the police have attempted to suppress the Occupy movement, and how much it will inform police repression of future upsurges of street protest. But already, the Israelification of American law enforcement appears to have intensified police hostility towards the civilian population, blurring the lines between protesters, common criminals, and terrorists."

Max Blumenthal: How Israeli Occupation Forces, Bahraini Monarchy Guards Trained U.S. Police For Coordinated Crackdown On “Occupy” Protests (http://exiledonline.com/max-blumenthal-how-israeli-occupation-forces-bahraini-monarchy-guards-trained-u-s-police-for-coordinated-crackdown-on-occupy-protests/)

Training alongside the American police departments at Urban Shield was the Yamam, (http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_article.php?id=1676) an Israeli Border Police unit that claims to specialize in “counter-terror” operations but is better known for its extra-judicial assassinations (http://www.imemc.org/article/6644) of Palestinian militant leaders and long record of repression (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRPPN7Kmi1c)abuses (http://articles.latimes.com/2004/sep/29/world/fg-mideast29) and in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. Urban Shield also featured a unit from the military of Bahrain, which had just crushed a largely non-violent democratic uprising by opening fire (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/bahrain/8329930/Bahrain-riot-police-fire-on-protest-camp.html) on protest camps and arresting (http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/2692740.html) wounded demonstrators when they attempted to enter hospitals. While the involvement of Bahraini soldiers in the drills was a novel phenomenon, the presence of quasi-military Israeli police – whose participation in Urban Shield was not reported anywhere in US media – reflected a disturbing but all-too-common feature of the post-9/11 American security landscape.

“Israel is the Harvard of antiterrorism,” said (http://www.jinsa.org/events-programs/law-enforcement-exchange-program-leep/leep-news/israeli-experts-teach-police-terrori) former US Capitol Police Chief Terrance W. Gainer, who now serves as the US Senate Sergeant-at-Arms. Cathy Lanier, the Chief of the Washington DC Metropolitan Police, remarked, (http://www.jinsa.org/events-programs/law-enforcement-exchange-program-leep/leep-news/israeli-experts-teach-police-terrori) “No experience in my life has had more of an impact on doing my job than going to Israel.”

The Pentagon Is Offering Free Military Hardware To Every Police Department In The US

http://www.businessinsider.com/program-1033-military-equipment-police-2011-12

Tim Lynch, director of the Cato Institute's project on criminal justice told The Daily (http://www.thedaily.com/page/2011/12/05/120511-news-militarized-police-1-6/), “The trend toward militarization was well under way before 9/11, but it’s the federal policy of making surplus military equipment available almost for free that has poured fuel on this fire.”

From The Daily (http://www.thedaily.com/page/2011/12/05/120511-news-militarized-police-1-6/):

Thanks to it, cops in Cobb County, Ga. — one of the wealthiest and most educated counties in the U.S. — now have an amphibious tank. The sheriff of Richland County, S.C., proudly acquired a machine-gun-equipped armored personnel carrier that he nicknamed “The Peacemaker.”

This comes on top of grants from the Department of Homeland Security that enable police departments to buy vehicles such as “BearCats” — 16,000-pound bulletproof trucks equipped with battering rams, gun ports, tear-gas dispensers and radiation detectors. To date, more than 500 of these tank-like vehicles have been sold by Lenco, its Massachusetts-based manufacturer, according to a report in the Orlando Sentinel.


“It’s kind of had a corrupting influence on the culture of policing in America,” Lynch says. “The dynamic is that you have some officer go to the chief and say, people in the next county have [military hardware], if we don’t take it some other city will. Then they acquire the equipment, they create a paramilitary unit, and everything seems fine.

“But then one or two years pass. They say, look we’ve got this equipment, this training and we haven’t been using it. That’s where it starts to creep into routine policing.”

[General of Darkness]

Well I'd say that the police have never dealt with people that WILL fight fire with fire.

[MAGNES]

Paul Craig Roberts has some great articles and even some books
that cover justice, the build up of the Police State, lots of great
articles on the militarized police state by design, brought to us by
the NeoCons who created the Police State, above we have great
references to prove this further, Israel , Jews, NeoCons are behind
the Police State and turning all who oppose them into " criminals "
and " terrorists ", the " media " is totally in on it, no wonder they
hate Ron Paul.

I'll see if I can put some PCR articles in here later.

Emanuel Celler

1968: The Gun Control Act of 1968 comes from Rep. Emanuel Celler’s House bill H.R. 17735. It expands legislation already attempted by the non-Jewish Sen. Thomas Dodd. America’s biggest and most far-reaching gun law came from a Zionist[1].

Howie Metzenbaum

1988: Senate bill S. 1523 is sponsored by Senator Howard Metzenbaum. It proposes legislation turning every violation of the Gun Control Act of 1968 into a RICO predicate offense, allowing a gun owner to be charged with federal racketeering offenses.

1988: Senator Metzenbaum co-sponsors a bill — S. 2180 — to ban, or limit/restrict, so-called “plastic guns.”

Herb Kohl

1990: Senator Herbert Kohl introduces bill S.2070, the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990, which bans gun possession in a school zone. The law will later be struck down in court as unconstitutional.1993: Senate bill S.653 is sponsored by Sen. Howard Metzenbaum. It bans specific semiautomatic rifles, but also gives the Secretary of the Treasury the power to add any semiautomatic firearm to the list at a later date.

Charles/Chuck Schumer [please view the documentary "Waco: The Rules of Engagement (http://ironlight.wordpress.com/2010/02/19/waco-the-rules-of-engagement/)" if you care to know what a despicable lowlife this "man" is...]

Dianne Feinstein

September, 1994: The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 goes into effect, including a provision that bans the manufacture and possession of semiautomatic rifles described as “assault weapons.” [Note: true assault weapons are fully automatic, not semiautomatic]. That gun-ban provision was authored in the Senate by Senator Dianne Feinstein and authored in the House by Congressman Schumer.

Arlene Specter

1995: Senators Kohl, Specter, Feinstein, Lautenberg and others introduce the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1995, an amended version of the 1990 school-zone law which was struck down in court as being unconstitutional.

Well I'd say that the police have never dealt with people that WILL fight fire with fire.

They deal with it every day in minority neighborhoods around the country. There are so many variables out there that make cops paranoid that adopting Israeli paramilitary tactics is a natural fit. They combine command, control, and absolute force over reason like honey to bees. I suspect you meant to say that the police have *yet* to deal with populist civil unrest to the point where people are not afraid to shoot back in defense of liberty. On that count I agree with you 100%.

I would guess it is the same as people complaining about socialism taking over America while sending their kids to public school.

These same people complain about losing their rights but consent to be governed, say they believe in God and then give the kid away to the state via a birth certificate.

The same people that are outraged when elected people don't read bills but fail to read the contract with .gov they sign.

I have told people there are other ways to operate and they say well I'm not doing that I'll just bitch instead.

Somebody commits a crime against you it's still a crime no matter if they learned it in jail a dojo the street or in Israel.
