Why Are US Police Being Trained in Israel?
Join an online panel discussion titled “Why are US police being trained in Israel?” Did you know that law enforcement officials from more than 250 police departments across the United States, including virtually every major police department in the country, have traveled to Israel over the past several years to receive training in “counter-terrorism” techniques by Israeli police, military, and intelligence units? And that their travel and training expenses are paid for by private entities? Sponsored by the Racial Justice Coalition of San Diego, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee--San Diego Chapter, and the Palestine-Israel Justice Team of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego, the panel discussion features speakers who will examine the widespread use of US-Israeli law enforcement training exchanges and what that may mean for the American public.
