We should condemn racist police brutality in the USA, Israel and around the world.

It’s right to criticise the training of police & their brutality. But it’s wrong to attribute US police brutality to ‘the hand of Israel.’

US cops should be held accountable for their actions.
You should and can criticise the actions of the Israeli government, police force and IDF too.

By attributing responsibility for US police brutality to Israel rather than the racist cops themselves and systematic US racism, you’re letting people off the hook.
Want to make clear that Peake did not use the phrase “the hand of Israel.”

She claimed that the sickening, racist knee to a neck police tactic was caused by Israel. This to me implies “the hand of Israel” trope.
