It turns out US police was being trained in the only non-racist democracy in Mideast. Not sure if such Obama era policies are still continuing in the Trump-Kushner era.
Trump often invokes Israel's Wall but has not invoked Israeli laws that ban inter-racial marrriages.

Critics slam ADL for training U.S. police in Israel– and when Reddit AMA goes off script

It’s a bad public relations week for the Anti-Defamation League, traditionally a group that has not gotten opposition from inside the Jewish community. The group is facing two challenges spearheaded by Jewish activists against overseas police seminars, in Israel, and against a federal bill the American Civil Liberties Union says (https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/how-israel-anti-boycott-act-threatens-first-amendment-rights) “threatens First Amendment rights.”

The ADL is in Israel at the moment, hosting a “counter-terrorism” seminar for American law enforcement officers to train with Israeli agencies, both police and military to trade tactics and best practices, according to a Freedom of Information Request submitted by Jewish Voice for Peace.
JVP is running a campaign to pressure the ADL into dropping these trips, which JVP calls Deadly Exchange. In an email sent to supporters, JVP says American police are learning bad practices from Israeli counterparts who have engaged in human rights violations:


Nitzan Nuriel is a war criminal. As Commander of the Golani Brigade during the first intifada, he gave orders to beat Palestinian detainees. During the 2006 Israeli invasion of Lebanon he was among those responsible for “serious violations of the laws of war… result in the deaths of at least 1,109 Lebanese, the vast majority of whom were civilians.” (http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=2LsmlczylebScvjAMtVkq%2B%2FlkdBVVIiM)
He is now an associate at the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism, an Israeli think tank with close ties to the military and intelligence establishment.
Why am I telling you about him? Because meeting and training with Nuriel is just one of many stops that U.S. law enforcement officers make on the ADL’s National Counter-Terrorism Seminar (NCTS).”


American police receive further training from the Israeli military and combat units. Again, from JVP’s campaign material:
“The [I]Yasam unit, another key stop on the ADL’s NCTS trip, is a paramilitary “riot-control” unit of the Israeli Police designed to repress and attack nonviolent Palestinian protest. The unit has a well-documented history of excessive use of force, including physical, verbal, and sexual assault of Palestinian, Mizrahi, and Ethiopian citizens of Israel.2 They recruit directly from combat units in the IDF and Border Police special forces— an example of the deep intertwining of police and military power in Israel.”

The latest came this week, in response to a report from British press that revealed the National Security Agency commonly provides Israel with intelligence data — without first stripping out private and personal information on American citizens. The Guardian in London reported the item, the latest in its coverage of document leaks from Edward Snowden.
