Are the IDF inspired by American police, or American police inspired by the IDF? It terrible watching brutality, but it's wonderfully blooming protest.
At this point I don't know that there is any difference. Between the training and contracts for crowd control weapons, surveillance technology and training, Israel is running both our government and police agencies. As in all falling empires, the weapons and techniques of empire are brought home to control and beat down the population bled dry funding empire.
With their brutal Nazi behavior on college campuses, the police agencies involved have shamed themselves, stripped away any legitimacy and pissed away whatever respect they may have had. They're just tools of oppression and enablers of the US/Israel genocide.
What is always amazing with these strutting GI Joes, in all their body armor and shiny helmet is they actually think instilling fear is the same as earning respect. Couldn't be further from the truth. And when people get pushed far enough, history has shown, people shed their fear and exact payback.
Mike, I just came across this interview with Green Party candidate Jill Stein. She talks directly about the ties between US law enforcement and Israel police/military: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu9vY1ZMaBg
I saw this .. so disgusting. What pisses me off is that other reporters don't back him up and insist Patel directly answer the question.
You may not know about the 'Breaking Points' podcast, which is pretty good. Saagar Enjeti is the conservative voice and Krystal Ball the liberal. Saagar is a real fitness guy. In DC they refer to Patel as "The fat Saagar."

And that is never pretty.
Well, I'm definitely hiring you (for no pay, of course), to substantiate my short comments. Like Laurel and Hardy, we could accomplish much.
Zeitgeist is inevitable. All both sides can do (which includes us) is fan the flames.
How about more like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid!
Mike walks into a substack and meets an optimist :)
A grumpy optimist.

Thanks. I've kept it and will include when I return to Gaza (on substack). Been distracted by my country's challenges.
