Under the banner of “counter-terrorism,” the ADL’s police exchange programs send high-ranking U.S. law enforcement, FBI and ICE officials to train with Israeli police, military and intelligence agencies. These trainings transform Israel’s 70 years of dispossession and 50 years of military occupation into a marketing brochure for successful policing--reinforcing racist & militarized policing in Palestine/Israel and the U.S.
Both the Los Angeles Police Department and LA County Sheriff’s Department have participated in these programs. It’s time to make clear that these deadly exchanges must end. In Los Angeles, we need housing, public services and support for targeted communities, not more militarized, racist policing. At the action, local activists from Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, USC Students for Justice in Palestine, and National Lawyers Guild will speak to these connections between the crisis of police violence here and Israeli military occupation and apartheid.
On the anniversary of Trump’s election, with highly visible white supremacist violence, islamophobia and antisemitism on the rise, let’s remind the ADL that it is time for everyone to choose a side -- upholding the racist, violent status quo or fighting for a just future, in Los Angeles and in Palestine/Israel.
