Years-long effort to blame Israel for U.S. police shootings of blacks

[LI] Anti-Israel activists exploit U.S. racial tensions and Black LIves Matter movement.

At group calling itself Atlanta is Ready (#ATLisREADY), aligned with the Black Lives Matter movement, recently issued a set of demands to the Mayor of Atlanta, including:

We demand a termination to APD’s involvement in the Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange (GILEE) program, that trains our officers in Apartheid Israel

The Mayor rejected the demand, finding that counter-terrorism training benefits the Atlanta Police Department’s ability to protect Americans:

You could chalk this incident up to just some isolated ploy by local activists, but that would be a mistake.

Rather, there has been a multi-year effort by left-wing and Islamist anti-Israel, anti-Zionist, and openly anti-Semitic activists to hijack racial tensions in the United States and redirect that anger towards Israel.

#1 Lots more vileness at the link -- those people have been busy. And some of it has clearly flowed to like minds on the right. The RNC had to shut down its live chat because of the flood of hatefulness.
