All Cops Are Bastards

The Free Jerusalem movement, an […] anti-occupation group, says [that neocolonial] police have detained five people and assaulted others who were “protesting against the criminal attack on Gaza”.

In a post on X, the group posted footage of [neocolonial] forces grabbing, shoving, and forcibly restraining several demonstrators in Jerusalem’s Paris Square.

They even used the ‘leg on neck’ technique on him. Disturbing.

(Although the OP described them as ‘IOF stormtroopers’, judging by the outfits they seem to be riot police rather than soldiers. I can understand the confusion, though.)

Since 9/11, many U.S. police departments, including Philadelphia’s, have been routinely trained by [neocolonial] “security experts.”

Miko Peled’s article “Deadly exchange: America’s racist policing has roots in Israel” was published May 29, 2020, by MintPress News shortly after the Minnesota police suffocation death of George Floyd went viral. Peled is an author and human rights activist born in Jerusalem.

Peled described this training as a “collaboration between the two racist states who see no problem in executing and watching the slow agonizing death of Black and Brown people. Officer Derek Chauvin, who casually placed his knee on George Floyd’s neck [for 9 minutes], could have easily been [a neocolonial] soldier or police officer holding down a Palestinian.”

Peled describes the training sessions [under Zionism] where police delegations from the U.S. met with [neocolonial] military, police and intelligences agencies: “They are given ‘opportunities’ to learn about what [Zionism’s régime] calls counterterrorism but is in fact no more than ‘refining methods of racial profiling.’”

He also noted: “The training [that the neocolony] offers includes methods to control the media. […] The [neocolonial] methods taught include how to use the media as an arm of the government and ‘reframe coverage of state violence.’”

Eventually, the massive Black Lives Matter protests in response to Floyd’s murder sparked backlash against the Anti-Defamation League, one of the key facilitators of police exchanges between the U.S. and [its neocolony]. Facing sustained pressure from the Deadly Exchange campaign and Jewish Voice for Peace, the ADL temporarily disrupted the program after it was forced to acknowledge that “its exchange program helped militarize U.S. police and harm communities of color.” (The Guardian, March 17, 2022)

Whatever the ADL said in public, it is unlikely that these training programs ever stopped. The U.S. and [its neocolony] are clearly united in an all-out war, not just against Palestinians, but now spreading throughout the West Asia and Northeast Africa regions. The trainings are likely to intensify, with their impact felt, not just in Gaza or Jenin, but in Black and Brown neighborhoods in Philadelphia and cities across the U.S.

Berlin: Pensioner sustains life-threatening injuries after being involved in the Luxemburg-Liebknecht demonstration. A conversation with Alexander Klein

Because we were busy with the treatment, I repeatedly asked the police officers standing around us to call an emergency doctor. But they refused because they said they didn't have time. Instead we were pushed, our rescue packs kicked and thrown around. Ultimately, a parliamentary observer called the emergency doctor. The police then refused to let him cross Frankfurter Allee. If the police had called the emergency doctor right away, we wouldn't have lost 20 important minutes!

But otherwise you won't be prevented from treating patients at demonstrations? In some cases we are even prevented from even providing medical protection for gatherings. On November 18th we were searched in Eisenach for over an hour. The police even wanted to look into my underwear. We were not allowed to take protective helmets or scissors with us to the rally. The police repeatedly deny that we are rescue workers and try to classify us as demo participants, even though there are a number of court rulings to the contrary. In 2022, we were in court in Hamburg four times for this reason - and were acquitted four times.

I was at the Demonstration yesterday and a few blocks in front of where we were the Police arrested someone who chanted "From the River to the Sea" in the International Block and then got hit with flag Poles. Then Police knocked out a 65 year old man, and arrested 15 others some ended up in Hospitals. https://www.jungewelt.de/artikel/466755.ll-demo-erinnern-und-k%C3%A4mpfen.html

On Wednesday, the police refused to approve a Jewish-Arab demonstration that was scheduled to take place at Habima Square in Tel Aviv on Thursday. It was organized by Standing Together and Women Wage Peace. These organizations appealed to the commander of the police's Tel Aviv district, Maj, Gen. Peretz Amar, asking him to approve the scheduled march and demonstration, even though such a demonstration does not require a permit.

The High Court of Justice issued a temporary injunction against Ben-Gvir on Wednesday determining that he had attempted to stop a demonstration by Hadash in Tel Aviv, even though he was prohibited from intervening in concrete decisions relating to the freedom to protest or demonstrate. Following the police's refusal to permit the demonstration, these organizations will submit a similar request next week.

"A police force that refuses to allow a Jewish-Arab peace march is a political police force, protecting a minister who fears peace and prefers unending war," said Alon Lee-Green, co-national director at Standing Together. "If the police fears for our wellbeing, let them do their job and protect our march and rally."

Women Making Peace said that "refusing to approve the rally at Habima Square is unreasonable, and violates our right to make our voice heard in the public sphere in favor of a political solution. Thus far, the police have provided no reasons for their refusal. Suspicion arises that these are instructions from above. Only two weeks ago, a similar rally was held there, which concluded without a single problem."

It feels like the neocolony is getting closer to civil war.

One of the police even pushed an elder onto the ground.

ETA: They did it again.

Unlike many other detainees who shared celebratory photos of a breached wall or civilians on a military jeep, on the morning of October 7, Mr. Hawashleh simply wrote Sabah al-Kheir (“Good Morning” in Arabic) at 8:10 a.m. He later claimed that he was sleeping in the desert and didn’t even hear any news.

Despite the complete innocence of his text, he was detained on October 28 on suspicion of “publishing words praising or encouraging acts of terrorism and identifying with a terrorist organization!” In order to add “context,” the police related to another post from October 15, where Hawashleh shared an old holy Islamic text from the “Hadith.” As could be expected, the hadith, which is attributed to the prophet Muhammad said nothing about Israel or Hamas.

I know that this video is three years old, but I had to share this anyway because it astounds me that anybody would try this.
