Website showing Israelis teaching the choke hold that killed George Floyd is changed to remove evidence. Why?
Doesn’t this strike you as odd?
Late last month, Keir Starmer sacked Rebecca Long-Bailey as shadow Education Secretary after she tweeted a link to an interview with actor Maxine Peake which he claimed featured an “anti-Semitic conspiracy theory”.
It seems the Labour leader believes it is anti-Semitic to state that Israeli military/police personnel taught members of the US police the choke hold that was misused to kill George Floyd, triggering a wave of protest across the world.
Last week, This Site found and published details of an organisation, run by Israeli ex-forces personnel, that provides exactly that service: the Israeli Tactical School.
A representative of the organisation even commented on the article to say that George Floyd’s death was caused by mis-application of the hold taught by its representatives.
And this is perfectly reasonable. There has never been any implication that Israelis trained US police officers specifically to kill black people.
Nevertheless, it seems the site has been altered since my piece was published, to remove evidence that Israeli Tactical teaches this particular hold.
According to Skwawkbox,
The content of the law enforcement page was deleted in just the last few days, with the amendment dating to after the Long-Bailey sacking. It is now blank.
The about page has been radically amended – with the ‘knee on neck’ image removed and the text altered.
The question is: Why?
Screenshots of the original pages are available – Skwawkbox publishes them in its article – and This Writer has taken copies of them. The evidence showing not only that Israeli personnel taught this technique but that it is an established technique used in Israel is clear.
So why even try to hide it? Doesn’t that just make the technique, the teaching and the organisation look suspicious?
