The eerie similarities between Ferguson and Kafr Kana [its not eerie - it is White Supremacy Global System of Power and Control over Non-whites]

It's quite a distance between the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, with its strip malls and housing tracts, and the Galilee town of Kafr Kana and its boxy white homes, winding roads and minarets. But in many ways the two are sister cities, homes to minorities who suffer the burden of an unfinished history as second class citizens.

So it's not coincidence that in both towns, the killing of a local resident by police – who most forcefully represent the power of the state – triggered violent demonstrations.

In Ferguson, an 18-year-old black man was killed on August 9 by a police officer, sparking days of protests and looting, and finally a U.S. Department of Justice investigation.

Two-thirds of Ferguson's residents are black while the local police force is nearly entirely white.

Three months later, in Kafr Kana, a 22-year-old was shot and killed by police, also setting off unrest and an Israeli Justice Ministry investigation.

Kafr Kana is an Israeli Arab town, mostly Muslim, and the police force is national – but according to a Knesset report, only 1.8% of Israel's 21,000 police officers are Muslims. [MORE]
