A lot of people have replied to my tweet about Maxine Peake with a link to this Amnesty blog post. They should have read it first because it doesn't prove what they think it proves. https://twitter.com/AaronBastani/status/1276100976684957698
The 'evidence' in these links is that US police go to Israel to learn about counter-terrorism policing. What that has to do with the murder of George Floyd is anyone's guess. Nobody has suggested that the officers who killed him thought he was a terrorist.
The rest of the article is just 'Israel violates human rights so US police shouldn't train with them'. Fine, if someone wants to argue that. It's a different point from this one though.
