MONDOWEISS – New Birthright trip for Jewish law enforcement seeks to counter BDS movement 

Every year, thousands of Jewish youth flock to Israel for ten days of sightseeing and Zionist indoctrination through Birthright Israel, an organization that offers the trips free of charge to young adults with Jewish heritage.

Beginning in May, Birthright and its partner organizations will pilot a new trip specially tailored to a specific demographic: Jewish law enforcement officers.

In February, the Jewish National Fund (JNF) announced the first ever “Law Enforcement Israel Adventure,” designed to “connect law enforcement officials to their Jewish roots and Israeli counterparts.”

Asked why Jewish police need their own Birthright trip, JNF spokesperson Adam Brill, himself a former Detective with the New York City Police Department, said it’s important for cops to have a connection to “their homeland.”

“It’s part of our DNA to want to help out others and make society better,” he said.

But later in conversation, he acknowledged that the trip was conceived, in part, as a reaction to the growing influence of the Boycott Divest and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

“They hear only bad things about Israel…from this BDS community that’s out there today, which is borderline anti-Semitic in its tone and is there to malign Israel all the time,” Brill said.

“We’re hoping to take the officer away from the department and community and let them see for themselves, without media telling them what’s going on,” he added.

If the law enforcement trip is anything like other Birthright ventures, there will indeed be no media, but rather a well-oiled propaganda machine––replete with fake Bedouin tents, checkpoints re-imagined as tollbooths, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shrouded in fog machine haze––telling police officers “what’s going on.”

Participating officers will also be matched with Israeli cops who will travel with them in the hope of forming friendships. It’s a heightened level of personal connection that Brill says doesn’t necessarily happen in the numerous programs that already send American law enforcement officers of any background, Jewish or otherwise, to Israel––like the Georgia-based GILEE program, which doles out counter-terrorism training and Islamophobia in equal measures.

“We wanted to pair these folks with Jewish Israeli police officers to share stories…When you’re walking through the old cities and the new cities that are being created in Israel, you can share these very personal stories,” Brill said.

This isn’t the first time that Birthright Israel has created a specialized program for a niche group. The organization currently offers trips tailored to LGBTQ people, foodies, and techies; in the past there have been special trips for skateboarders and hip-hop enthusiasts. Then there are Birthright spinoffs like Honeymoon Israel, and a Birthright-like trip for evangelical Christians.

The timing of the launch of Birthright’s law enforcement trip suggests that the program was perhaps conceived not only with BDS in mind, but also in response to the Black Lives Matter movement and the growing outrage over racist policing in the United States.

“Many young, progressive, American Jews are as outraged by the oppressive and racist policies of Israel as they are with U.S. law enforcement,” Naomi Dann, of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), told Mondoweiss.

“It’s deeply ironic that an organization that has played a large role in displacing Palestinians from their land is sponsoring a trip to sell Israel to young American-Jewish law enforcement officers,” Dann said.

Ironic, maybe also savvy. Young police officers who view critiques of the criminal justice system as personal attacks may be poised, now more than ever, to embrace any ideology that reinforces their righteousness.

Brill told Mondoweiss that the law enforcement Birthright trip is the brainchild of Rabbi Tzvi “Harry” Berkowitz, chief chaplain of New York City’s Metro Transit Authority. Berkowitz approached JNF with the idea and the organization ran with it. Now, Berkowitz is busy recruiting officers to participate.

“He’s going to Florida to sell to several hundred police officers down there and get the word out…the hope is to expand it,” he said.

  1. “Many young, progressive, American Jews are as outraged by the oppressive and racist policies of Israel as they are with U.S. law enforcement” They should be, as the Israeli police are not only racists, but murderers but the American police are not murderers and generally not racists. The evidence shows American police officers have been victims at least as often as the victimizer with the thug Michael Brown of Ferguson, Missouri being a prime example. But the media presented the thug Brown as a saint.
    In the latest example of white subservience three black female college students accused white(s) of a hate crime, with Hillary Clinton siding with them this time (as opposed to Obama in previous cases), but now the three black girls have been arrested, turning the case on its head and a video being perhaps the smoking gun.

    In the US the Jewish media and Jews in general have successfully demonized whites in relation to other groups in the US the same way they demonized Germans (and other Europeans to a lesser degree) in relation to Jews in order to empower not just blacks, but all non-whites over whites in the US and empower Jews over all Europeans. Wherever they live (or can profit, as from the Germans with holohoax money) they strip the majority and those that hold the power from that power so the majority will no longer be a threat to the Jews and Jews can do what they like in a country. Since the end of WW II the Jews have wrecked Christianity in the US and Europe, introduced homosexuality, transgender and other abnormalities (which Christianity considers sinful) as normal lifestyles, “gay marriage”, made western cultures filthy thru Hollywood and media in which they push sexual and dirty behavior. This is done to further weaken the majority population in relation to Jews.
    “Sexual morality — as society, in its extreme form, the American, defines it — seems to me very contemptible. I advocate an incomparably freer sexual life.” Sigmund Freud, 1908. The motivating factors behind this are to weaken the majority.

    In the US whites were the people in power. White Christians were the ethnic majority in the US and they were at least 90% of the country’s population. They founded the country, all its institutions and made it into a world power. The US was a white country whose immigration policies until 1965 were designed to keep it a white Christian country with immigration almost totally focused on Europe. After decades of working at it and claiming this was motivated by racism, while whites said it was motivated by a desire to keep the USA’s culture intact, congress finally gave in to the Jews and in 1965 opened US immigration to the world changing the country forever from a predominantly white country to the multicultural country it is today.
    While Trump appeals to all Americans, Jews are scared because he has given whites a voice again. He has repeatedly spoken out on Christianity’s behalf and although he has not explicitly spoken out for whites, a large number of whites know the direction the country has taken the last few decades has not been in their interests and they know his policies are in their best interests. Just enforcing immigration laws will slowdown the Jewish effort to make whites a minority in the country they created. When Jews see thousands of screaming whites in support of Trump, these hateful people, always looking to reduce others power so they can make others their underlings think of Hitler. They are totally self absorbed. Now the Jews are spreading accusations of racism at Trump’s rallies in the media.

    The 1965 immigration act has probably had a more profound impact on the US than perhaps any other, yet it has been kept completely off the radar screen with few Americans ever even hearing of it. If they knew how this came about and the motivating factors behind it the Jews might have to move to Canada as they are now suggesting others might want to.

  2. WOW!! What the Hell…? “connect law enforcement officers to their Jew roots & Israeli counterparts.” What the scum jews mean is that they’ll be connecting American law enforcement with Israel and their supremacist attitude.
    “Have a connection to their homeland and our DNA”. NO! Their homeland is the USA, and they have 0.0% DNA from the Mideast! More Judaic lies and puree bullshit!
    This should not be allowed!
