This is the best summary I could come up with:
At a time of polarized reactions to the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, the analysis raises questions about the scope of police intelligence-gathering in the US and the influence of Israel and its supporters on those efforts, and how this has shaped the treatment of activists and social movements, especially those who are pro-Palestinian.
One body whose internal archives were exposed in the hack, LA Clear, is tasked with providing “analytical and case support” in narcotics investigations in southern California, according to its website.
Despite its ostensible mission to combat drug trafficking, the LA Clear archive of training materials (labeled “lacleartraining”) included in the BlueLeaks trove has several analyses of previous episodes of widespread conflict in Gaza and the West Bank that are sourced directly from the IDF and closely aligned Israeli thinktanks.
ADL staff are shown as registered attendees at events run by fusion centers, offering bios that advise the organization that “we facilitate workshops for law enforcement on extremism, hate crime and (in Washington DC and Israel) counter-terrorism”.
The ADL, whose website banner heading at the time of reporting read “We stand with Israel”, is one of very few community organizations who train or are consulted by law enforcement officers.
There are indications that this emphasis shaped investigations: in at least two instances, the National Criminal Intelligence Resource Center archived social media feeds of Palestinian American pro-Palestine activists.
The original article contains 1,320 words, the summary contains 229 words. Saved 83%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
A good intelligence body will take information from all sources available. It’s their job to analyze that and build a narrative that has a confidence level. It’s what they do.
Then why did this “intelligence body” not have any information about anti-palenstian sources? Shouldn’t it be their job to analyze and build a narrative that has a confidence level?
The issue is that US police are acting on only one type of information in a conflict with two groups.
They should be pursuing anti-semitism. They should also be pursuing anti-palensteinsim. The aren’t doing the latter, and seem to actually be specifically targeting Palestinian Americas.
How do you know they were not getting any information and how do you know they could get good information to begin?
This is not like the news where you are suppose to get balanced reports. That is goofy to think that. If validated, you use the information you get.
A police intelligence unit does not have the intelligence resources of the CiA who by report knew something was up and transmitted their concerns to Mossad.
So US police agencies are actively coordinating with an international intelligence resource for Israel, the IDF, to help protect Jewish Americans, but somehow can’t coordinate with any international intelligence resources to protect Palestinian Americans?
Why is that?
I suppose they can pick up bolos for bad actors through the intelligence they get. I would think they get Interpol and Homeland Security too. Intelligence is not perfect. It can’t tell you there is a crazy man with a screwdriver
Youre being vague when im asking you a direct question, the same question the article asks.
Why are US police only coordinating information sources with the IDF to protect Jewish Americans, when it is their mandate to protect Jewish americans and Palestinian americans?
You’re basing everything on a false premise and accusing me of being vague.
