As the media and leftist authorities continue to cover up the extent of the jihad threat America faces, US police chiefs are on a delegation to Israel for advanced counter-terrorism training techniques. The chiefs from Orlando and San Bernardino, who recently experienced unprecedented jihad attacks in their cities, are among the delegation.
John McMahon, sheriff of San Bernardino, made a critical comment in open recognition of the threat American citizens face, despite the ongoing efforts to conceal it or minimize it. He stated that “terrorist attacks in the US are becoming increasingly prevalent…. American law enforcement is entering a world which Israel knows well”; in other words, Israel is a country that has grown accustomed to vicious jihad attacks and ongoing propaganda.
Let’s just hope that Westerners who look to Israel for jihadist counter-terrorism training also take a lesson from observing Israel’s losses on the ideological and propagandist war front, in which jihadists brutally manipulate the victimhood narrative. As an Israeli official commented: “Hamas uses the Palestinian population as human shields. Hamas’s strategy is to intensify the suffering of Gazans, based on the belief that Israel is to be blamed.”
“US police chiefs visit Israel to learn counter-terrorism techniques”, by Daniel K. Eisenbud, Jerusalem Post, August 3, 2016:
Equally important, Segal said, is that “US law enforcement officials can learn some lessons about what it’s like to be in law enforcement here in Israel, and the unique threats and unique experience” that it entails.
Orlando Police Chief John Mina – who led the investigation into the largest mass shooting in modern US history last June, in which 49 people were killed at a gay night club – said the massacre committed by a lone gunman profoundly scarred the city.
“The attack was devastating,” Mina said, “and we were devastated. But we knew we had to come together as a community, and we’re going through that process now.”
Mina, who arrived on Sunday with the other US participants, said he felt compelled to join the delegation when he was invited following the attack.
“After what happened, it made me want to come to Israel even more, just to learn more from the Israeli Police to see how they deal with terrorism, how they respond to it, and see what their training is like,” he said…..
…..“People in the States are using social media and getting this idea in their heads to carry out their own attacks,” he said.
“That is one of our greatest threats right now, and Israel is excellent at dealing with that.
“I like the way the Israeli Police pretty much go right after the threat, and in the US we are heading in the same direction, especially with our situation. Also, over here they don’t negotiate [with terrorists], and I think that’s the way to go.”…
After Mina met with the survivor of a terrorist attack, he said the average Israeli citizen’s preparedness and response to terrorism is noteworthy.
In applying lessons he learned from the Orlando massacre, Mina stressed the importance of dealing effectively with a barricaded active shooter holding multiple hostages.
“It was a very unique situation, because in the US shootings typically end in a few seconds, and the [suspect] kills himself,” he said.
“For us, this went from an active-shooter situation to a barricaded gunman holding hostages to a terrorist situation within the first hour. From my perspective, I think our police response was good and we saved many, many people from inside the Pulse Night Club. But there will always be situations where, as we compile more information, we will certainly share it [with the public].”
While Mina stopped short of deeming the violence in the US a turning point, he emphasized that attacks there required police and citizens to become “super vigilant.”
“It is different times,” he conceded.
“People need to be aware of their surroundings at all times. Officers in uniform are being targeted as well. I believe that it starts over here [in the Middle East] and kind of carries over to the United States.”
John McMahon, sheriff of San Bernardino County, California, echoed Mina’s sentiments.
McMahon oversaw a December terrorist attack in which a married Arab couple killed 14 people and wounded 22, before being shot dead by police.
“It was a tragic event, and not only was it a terrorist attack… it included county employees in a building used by multiple groups, including us,” he said. “That we never expected. I guess we expect the unexpected, because you never know where they are going to occur.”
McMahon, who has previously worked with the ADL at the Holocaust Museum in Los Angeles, said he was offered to attend the seminar previously, but only decided to join this year.
“The ADL does an incredible job educating law enforcement officials on terrorism, hate, and a variety of other things,” he said.
“To come over and interact with the Israeli National Police to see how they deal with the multiple cultures, the extremism, and terrorism, is an opportunity of a lifetime for us.”
Adding that terrorist attacks in the US are becoming increasingly prevalent, McMahon said American law enforcement is entering a world which Israel knows well.
“We’re very good with intelligence and the things that we’re used to,” he said, “This is a new world for us, and so we can learn a lot from the Israel Police, and the folks in Israel, because this is something they’ve been dealing with for a number of years, and they have a lot of experience to share.”
Indeed, Police spokesman Rosenfeld, who is helping host the delegation, said that as more brazen terrorist attacks unfold across the globe, international law enforcement officials increasingly seek Israel’s advice on how to deal with the growing epidemic.
“As part of ongoing coordination and sharing of intelligence, knowledge and experience in the field of terrorism, the Israel Police will continue to work with law enforcement officials throughout the world,” Rosenfeld said

Lesson No. 1: Don’t let them in.
Hmm…which US presidential candidate has learned that lesson, and which one refuses to learn it?
Yorkshire_Kufir says
Sadly the one that has is a complete narcissistic , the other has had her conscience bought by the highest bidder. Hopefully, she will renage on her compact with the devil.
JD says
What politician isn’t a narcissist at that level?
Mockingjay says
Yes – totally correct JD: some are just better at hiding it.
Bob McKenna says
The Candidate of which you speak as having not learned to not let them in is running scared, and pandering to one little group after another and will say anything or smooch any butt to get just one vote.
She is a consummate liar and anyone who has ever seen her tape describing her “terrible sniper experience”, which was a total lie, can see how adroitly she can do it.
Virtually everything she says or promises is a lie. Just see how well she does it.

I’m sure that the media and press will castigate them severely for having any connection whatsoever with Isreal – no matter how much sense it may make!

All we have to do is purge the muslim filth from America. Problem solved.
Yorkshire_Kufir says
A truly 1-dimensional .solution which is not affordable. Add the offer of protecting the apostates of islam and educating their young in thinking for themselves andyou might start to turn the tide forever in your favour..
Lord Wrath says
“1-dimensionable”??? Perhaps we should try a more “British” approach…
“Not affordable”??? We could encase the bodies in the concrete of the wall with Mexico…

If there were no Muslims here, there would be no Jihad.
dumbledoresarmy says
and likewise, if in 1948 *all* Muslims had been driven out of what became Israel, and then if in 1967 *all* Muslims had been driven out of Jerusalem (and *especially* off the Temple Mount) and out of Judea and Samaria and the Golan, Israel would have a *lot* fewer jihad attacks to worry about, today.
They would still have to defend against Muslims from next-door Islamic states trying to get across the borders to attack them. But there would be no seething Fifth Column *inside* Israel out of which an endless supply of stabbers, shooters, human bombs and runners-over (not to mention would-be poisoners, etc) constantly arises.
And India too would be a lot better off if, in 1947, the population exchange had been *complete* – ALL Muslims from inside India fleeing or being kicked out to Pakistan (‘East’ and ‘West’) and ALL non-Muslims from within what is now Pakistan, and Bangladesh, fleeing to India.

You know when you see a story about Israel doing anti-terror activity that the Security/Police forces are in survival conditions. While leftist propaganda is just that propaganda for a political outcome. Hate the lying hypocritical muzzie/progressive connection.
biff says
Progressives will claim that whatever solution the Israli have for Islam will not work in the USA.
The Israeli’s for example do not waste any time on bothering to discuss the irrelevant differences between ISIS “inspired” attacks vs “workplace violence”.
They know what “Allah Akbar” means.
Just because Muslims murder people screaming “Die Infidels Die, Allah Akbar” in no way means that it’s Islam terrorism.
It’s most likely just a Christian right winger doing it to make Islam look bad.
Obama what color is the sky? Please tell me what to think.
Angemon says
You have a problem with islamic terrorism. Can you say that? Islamic terrorism? Your CIC seems to think there’s nothing to be won by saying it.

“The attack was devastating,” Mina said, “and we were devastated. But we knew we had to come together as a community, and we’re going through that process now.”
Who the heck talks like this?!? Come together as a community will do what to stop this? Coming together to arm, train the community would be an effective strategy. Having sing alongs, touchy feely candle lighting ceremonies, as showy wastes of time and makes nobody any safer!

Strict dress code in France.
I wouldn’t have believed it possible.
But I do worry about burqas; there’s nothing to stop men from hiding in them. Normally people who cover their faces with masks are robbing banks or something.

Our police really do need to learn from Israel. At San Bernardino and Orlando, they failed but got lucky as explained below about SBPD and Lincoln 3.

……………….
Finally, some good news!
Undaunted says
Here’s how OPD fucked up.
1. There were six to eight officers engaging the shooter with gunfire at the beginning of the incident. They could have moved on him and pinned him down and kept him from taking the 30 or so hostages in the restrooms but some “leader” ordered them to stand down and wait for SWAT. So they stood down and waited for SWAT.
2. The shooter had shown what his intentions were from the first round he fired. He wore no mask over his face, indicating that he didn’t care if he could be identified in court later because he wasn’t going to court later, he was going to die in the club.
3. He had shot nearly fifty people before he headed for the restrooms and was seen pumping rounds into people on the floor, ensuring they were dead. He was a stone-cold killer.
4. When he was holed-up in the shitter, the cops were trying to negotiate with him but he had no demands, didn’t have a thing for which he said he wanted to negotiate. There was not bargaining on his mind, he’d come to kill and die doing it.
5. OPD had good intel that there were hostages in the can with the shooter. What OPD did not know was what the shooter was doing with the hostages. Since they knew he’d gunned down dozens outside the restrooms, a reasonable person could conclude the shooter might continue his rampage inside the restrooms. Since they didn’t hear him shooting, they negotiated. But the shooter could have had a silencer and been putting a round or two into and through every skull in there. Or, he could have been beheading them once at a time. OPD didn’t know. And they didn’t go in to find out.
6. And I think they fucked up by pretending that they didn’t fuck up. I’ll have more once their AAR is done.
My point is that you’re on your own. Make a plan, be prepared. Do not be afraid. Deserve Victory.
WorkingClassPost says
As an admission of failure, this is a first step, but all our police forces will need to sort this out for themselves.
Things are quite different in the wider West.
We have long standing due process and other restrictions that greatly hamper decisive action, and media, politicians, and even business owners who would baulk at what Israel does.
Here in UK, they complain and riot about shooting a gangsta with a gun, so how are we to deal with a woman with a knife?
dumbledoresarmy says
Yep, UK nonmuslim police need to take some lessons with the Israelis, pronto.
Because the murderers of Lee Rigby would, in Israel, most likely have been shot before they got as far as hacking at him with the machete… or not long after.
(The modus operandi – run someone over, then hack at them with an axe or meat-cleaver – *has* been tried by Mohammedans in Israel; and if I recall correctly, such Mohammedans have ended up dead, very quickly).
And the Somali Muslim stabber, in London, had he tried his game in Israel, would probably still have murdered his first victim, but I doubt he’d merely have been tasered by law enforcement; given that he was waving a knife around and had already severely injured assorted pedestrians (and also given that the Israelis don’t take chances with mohammedans, because of the probability of suicide bomb vests) he’d have been annihilated, taken down fast and hard.
Our Aussie police aren’t too bad at that. The murderer of Curtis Cheng was prancing about and waving a gun around in the street outside police HQ… out came the responding cops and bang! no more mohammedan. A young mohammedan took out a knife and attacked two cops, injuring both quite badly; but the first cop who had been attacked, wounded though he was, got his weapon and BANG! saved his fellow cop from further injury…and by killing off the mohammedthug, saved us a lot of money and *also* obviated the possibility of Prison Dawa.
I guess the thing all Infidel law enforcement has to recognise is that this isn’t actually about crime and policing. This is something different; it’s a war. All these attacks are essentially acts of war, forming a part of the Jihad, which is aimed not just as individual victims but at our sovereign non-Muslim polities, in order to destroy them, to force them to Submit. Our cops are on the front lines, just as much as – or more so than – our soldiers. In Israel, of course, this is much clearer; their cops and their soldiers are working side-by-side pretty nearly all of the time. In much of the ‘western’ part of the Lands of the Infidels we’ve still got to reach that point (though France, perhaps, is almost there).
WorkingClassPost says
That seems to be the real difference – we have yet to accept this for what it is.
Our politicians glibly talk about the ‘War on terror’ but that war doesn’t seem to extend to the actual terrorists on our streets.
Still trying to figure that one out.
Troybeam says
It’s about time our American law enforcement and such learned from Israel, they deal with terrorism everyday, best of the best. Thank You Israel.

Thank you Isreal.
