Israeli police head to US to aid in Boston Marathon bombing investigation

[azurnoir]

Source: Russia Today

The investigation into Monday’s deadly bombing at the Boston Marathon has officially gone international: law enforcement officials from Israel have been sent to the United States to assist in the probe.

Israel Police Chief Yohanan Danino says he has dispatched officials to Boston, Massachusetts, where they will meet with Federal Bureau of Investigation agents and other authorities, the Times of Israel Reports.

Citing an earlier report published by the newspaper Maariv, Times of Israel writes that Danino has dispatched police officers to participate in discussions that “will center on the Boston Marathon bombings and deepening professional cooperation between the law enforcement agencies of both countries.”

The paper reports that Israeli law enforcement planned the trip before the deadly pair of bombings on Monday that has so far claimed three lives, but the discussions will now shift focus in order to see how help from abroad can expand the investigation.

1. Thats good news. Israeli LE have alot of experience with such tragedies

Hopefully they will be able to help.

[Blue_Tires]

19. So do Northern Ireland, Spain and any number of other countries

What makes Israel unique in all of this?

[darkangel218]

20. It doesnt.

Did Spain and Northern Ireland send help?

[arely staircase]

24. they sent help.

[Marrah_G]

2. Thank you, people of Israel

[William769]

3. Recommended.

[question everything]

4. Sadly, Israel has too much experience

with mass bombing and with searching for lives.

It had the only mobile hospital after the earthquake in Haiti.

5. "To aid in Boston" or to cover-up in Boston or to plant evidence in Boston?

So the FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, NSA, U.S. military, U.S. Marshals, local and state police can't handle it, they need someone from Israel?

Seems like a prime opportunity for someone to obstruct an investigation and to try to place the blame/evidence on some Middle Eastern country.

We live in an era of corruption and militarism, this isn't a stretch of anyone's imagination.

[sellitman]

6. Your hatred is showing.

I find your post discusting beyond words.

[just1voice]

8. LOL, I knew someone would go there

Try opening your mind to all possibilities then try responding to what I actually wrote.

[BootinUp]

10. Scary conspiracy minded thinking is all I see

count me with the other poster.

[midnight]

37. In the past decade I have heard that said about those asking questions about the vote in Florida

and about the lie leading us into war... It doesn't seem all that much of a conspiracy to ask these questions.... I think it makes us more informed... Maybe you can give specific information to help others understand why you don't think that is the case.... You might help others be more informed too...

11. Infowars strikes again: 'USS Liberty, Mossad, dancing Israelis, world zionism, banksters,' etc.

It doesn't start off from being hateful and the desire for finding The Truth© is genuine, but the roads eventually converge in a bad place.

First responses on the first youtube videos of this event went straight to 'THE JEWS DID IT' acting in league with, as always, Obama.

'That train is NEVER late', as Chris Rock said about 9/11. It will never be admitted, anymore than the followers of Ron Paul would.

[Posteritatis]

12. Well, everyone knows that "Truth" rhymes with "Jew." Almost. Kinda.

Clearly the slight difference in sound between the two is all part of The Plan, to confuse us into believing that they are not in fact behoohhhhhfuckit, I can't go on like that.

[freshwest]

15. Best to stop while one is ahead...

[MrBig]

9. This is straight conspiracy theory talk

Because certainly, if there was a cover up and plan to blame a Middle Eastern country, the Government would be forthcoming with the knowledge that someone from Israel is coming to aid in the investigation. Let me guess - in your eyes, this Israeli operative is coming to the US, packed with a bag full of planted evidence. And if you never read this article, would you be having these same thoughts? Check that - don't answer that question...I think I already know.

Seriously, this is stupid.

[HangOnKids]

14. Seriously....n/t

[Xithras]

16. I don't think it would need to go that far.

It's insane to believe that the Israelis had anything to do with the bombings. It's entirely believable to think that the apartheid Israeli government would use their police "experts" to steer the investigation to a direction that is politically beneficial toward them (e.g., implicating Iran). The Israeli government has demonstrated repeatedly that they have no qualms about working against American interests when doing so is to Israel's benefit. Their mere presence makes suspect any findings that eventually implicate any enemies of Israel, even if those findings are factual.

The United States is home to some of the most highly trained investigators on the planet, backed by the worlds most high tech crime labs. There's no need to feed the conspiracy theorists by giving foreign investigators access to the evidence.

[MrBig]

17. It's not entirely believable

And I doubt that feeding conspiracy theorists really plays any role in determining what actions investigators take.

So using your logic, these highly trained investigators would fall for the devishly masterful plot by the evil Israeli experts to steer the investigation to a politically beneficial conclusion to Israel?

And no, their mere presence does not make any findings suspect. That's a personal issue for you.

[Xithras]

18. Why wouldn't they?

It doesn't take much to steer an investigation once you're on the inside. Simply a comment like "We once saw something like this on a Hezbollah bomb" could change the focus of an entire investigation. Couple that with a conveniently anonymous claim of responsibility on the Internet, and you'll have justification for Gulf War 3.0. American's have already proven their gullibility when it comes to that kind of disinformation.

And yes, I do believe that it would make the findings suspect to a lot of the world, if Israeli investigators found evidence implicating an enemy of Israel at an American bombing. It would be a bit convenient.

But then again, I'll freely and unapologetically admit that I have "personal issues" with security agents of a conservative, foreign apartheid government being involved in an American investigation. Any liberal with a conscience should have issues with it.

[lofty1]

28. Why wouldn't they?

I agree with you.

[lofty1]

29. We do not need their help

The USA knows plenty about bombs all on our own. We do not need any foreign country's help on this.

Israel would like nothing better than to drag us into a war, with Iran, in particular.

[leftynyc]

34. Getting talking points from conspiracy theorists

is really no way to go through life. Has it occurred to your poisoned mind that if they wanted to manipulate evidence, they would have kept it secret they were even here? Or has Alex Jones not figured that one out for you yet?

[Xithras]

38. No conspiracies in my post.

I make no apologies for the fact that I don't like the Israeli government and their policies, and consider them an untrustworthy ally. The Jonathan Pollard case alone demonstrates the fact that the Israeli government considers American security interests to be secondary to their own, and that they have no problem violating our laws and trust in order to further their own goals.

The simple fact is that the current Israeli government has been beating the war drums for many months against Iran and has recently begun seizing more land for settlement in the West Bank. Their biases are well known, and are publicized for the world to see. If Israeli security agents find anything in Boston that implicates Israeli enemies, and brings America closer to war with those enemies, then the evidence is immediately suspect. We'd have to ask ourselves whether the discovery is genuine, or whether it's another "babies being tossed out of incubators" moment. There's a trust issue here, and it's one that we really don't need to deal with (we have plenty of investigators who are more than capable of getting to the bottom of this). We should thank them for the offer and politely decline.

And who is Alex Jones?

[leftynyc]

45. I stand firmly by my post

You obviously think the Israeli's cannot be trusted and will automatically ignore anything they help to find - that's your problem and I disagree fervently.

[Xithras]

51. One point of clarification.

You and I don't have to agree on this, and you can feel free to disagree. I'll not argue that with you. I'd like to clear up one misstatement in your post though.

You obviously think the Israeli's cannot be trusted...

I have no problem with the Israeli's. I have a problem with the Israeli government and it's policies. There's an important and profound difference between having an issue with an entire nation of people, and having a problem with the government and the people running it.

[LanternWaste]

50. Our biases do indeed compel us to both see what is not there, and to be blind to what is

Our biases do indeed compel us to both see what is not there, and to be blind to what is. Human nature, such as it is, finds much more satisfying premises and conclusions in the irrational. Heard that at church once, of all places.

[The Stranger]

43. Saying another poster has a "poisoned mind" is completely unacceptable.

I understand your desire to inquire as to the basis for someone posting something, but saying someone has a "poisoned mind" is going too far.

[leftynyc]

44. I don't think so at all

If you do, alert.

[cali]

40. It's totally unbelievable.

[CTyankee]

22. please delete this to avoid getting it alerted on.

[arely staircase]

25. or they have experience investigating bombings eom

[Codeine]

26. Only a matter of time before Johnny Joozdidit showed up in the thread. nt

[cali]

39. of course it's a stretch of the imagination.

It's on the outer reaches of bat shit crazy and stupid CT theorizing. Take it somewhere else of shove it in a dank... corner.

[BootinUp]

7. I would say that Israel has qualified experts in this area.

[Zorra]

13. +1

[CTyankee]

23. I am sure they will be very helpful. They know about security, god knows...

[michigandem58]

27. I'd have serious questions about Israeli objectivity

They'd serve their own interests by leading us to believe it was it was terrorism committed by certain groups.

[Figaro78]

32. Don't be shy

Certain groups? Just sat it: MUSLIMS.

[Figaro78]

30. Why Israeli police?

Because they're so expert in dealing with "dark skinned" (i.e. Muslim) terrorists? This is nothing more than
a continuation of the unfounded theory that Muslims were behind the bombing. Send them home where they can
keep busy doing what they do best...mistreating their own Muslims.

[Brother Buzz]

35. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar

The paper reports that Israeli law enforcement planned the trip before the deadly pair of bombings on Monday that has so far claimed three lives, but the discussions will now shift focus in order to see how help from abroad can expand the investigation.

[cali]

41. right. because Israeli are evil shits that want to do nothing but fuck Muslims.

and this story doesn't appear to even be factual. It's from RT which is an absolutely unreliable source.

[azurnoir]

47. Because they were visiting anyway? n/t

[Ruby the Liberal]

52. Who has more experience in these kinds of investigations?

Seriously. What LEO has more experience in this type of bombing (nails and ball bearings) and collecting and analyzing that type of evidence than the israelis?

Careful, your bias is showing.

[snooper2]

31. So they already were coming here for a meeting planned before the attacks, now they say

they will ask if they can help any when they get here,


that turns into a headline

"Israeli police head to US to aid in Boston Marathon bombing investigation"


And people buy it hook line and sinker
I like smart people

[leftynyc]

36. Seems the left is just as

anxious to believe conspiracy theories about Israel as the KKK and the Alex Jones people are. How sad and pathetic.

[cali]

42. RT is a truly atrocious source and this story looks to be almost entirely fabricated

It seems to be based in this story. Hardly the same thing that RT is pushing.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/israel-top-boston-article-1.1319738

[azurnoir]

46. did you notice the part about they were visiting anyway ?

but your right about RT though and hardly anyone else is carrying this 'story'

[cali]

48. yes, and the story is still misleading.

[azurnoir]

49. well that could very well be
