Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, January 31, 2026

ICE and CBP agents have developed a close relationship with their counterparts in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), allowing them to trade notes on tactics and technology which are now appearing on the streets of America. ICE is also using sophisticated phone hacking technology from controversial Israeli companies like Cellebrite and Paragon to build a surveillance "dragnet," gathering data on large portions of the American public without a warrant, including citizens.

Excerpt:

"Over the past two decades, US ICE officials have maintained a close relationship with the Israeli government. This collaboration has included trips ferrying high-level US and technology transfers that have put sophisticated surveillance capabilities in the hands of (ICE. The result has been an increasing mind meld between security agencies in Israel and the US."

"When Bill Ayub returned from his trip to Israel, he was impressed " but a bit wary. Israeli surveillance software is "a little more invasive than you would see here in the US," the former Ventura County sheriff told Jewish Currents in 2022. And the use of force in arrests was "shocking," Ayub said. "It was like, Wow, you do that?' [...] We'd be in jail if we did something like that here."

As we saw with the brutal ICE executions of Renee Good and Alex Pretty in Minneapolis, we are all Palestinians now.

As usual in a European society, some are more Palestinian than others.

Hi Fresno500:

And decades ago apartheid-era Suid-Afrika and Israel cooperated on population control tactics and weapons.

During protests, the SAPS deployed the notorious "purple dye" on the "kaffirs" which was virtually unwashable and demoralizing.

When the SAPS later conducted their investigations, the suspects still had the indelible purple dye on them.

"Ah ha! So, Bantu Mifuse, you were at the protests yesterday."

The IDF then began using the "purple dye" against Palestinians.

"Ah ha! So, Abu Jamal, you were at the protests yesterday."

Speak of the Devil....

*** IDF Kills 26 Palestinians in Gaza ***

"Israeli strikes across Gaza killed at least 26 Muslims on Saturday, the highest day's death toll in over two months.

The latest deaths come despite a mid-October ceasefire that Israel violated over one thousand times, raising the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza to more than 500.

About a quarter of the bodies recovered were children and a third were women."

An international arrest warrant for crimes against humanity issued by the ICC remains active for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. The Istanbul Public Prosecutor issued arrest warrants for him and 30 other suspected Israeli war criminals. An indictment is merely an allegation. To ensure a fair trial, Mr Netanyahu must be presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt at an international tribunal to be held for him at the Hague at a future date.
