The Palestine-Mexico Border
Consider the IDF brigadier generals presence in El Paso two years ago an omen. After all, in February 2014, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agency in charge of policing our borders, contracted with Israels giant private military manufacturer Elbit Systems to build a virtual wall, a technological barrier set back from the actual international divide in the Arizona desert. That company, whose U.S.-traded stock shot up by 6% during Israels massive military operation against Gaza in the summer of 2014, will bring the same databank of technology used in Israels borderlands -- Gaza and the West Bank -- to Southern Arizona through its subsidiary Elbit Systems of America.
