In it she said that U.S. cops got the method of kneeling on necks from the Israeli secret service, which they have denied. Well they would if they're a secret service, wouldn't they? Amnesty International though say it's true. So are they anti semitic as well?

1. As far as I'm aware, Amnesty International haven't said it's true at all. All I've seen is a single blogpost written in 2016 by one employee of Amnesty USA claiming that high-level US police execs (not ordinary street cops) have done some training in Israel, and Israel is bad, therefore we should all be very angry about it. That's it. No interviews, no hard data, nothing in the post to suggest that what they went over there for was to learn how to strangle people more effectively. And Peake herself has now admitted that the claim was unevidenced bollocks.

2. I'm quite happy to state that anyone who spends their life claiming at the drop of a hat that the Israeli secret services are behind any old bad thing that happens anywhere in the world, irrespective of evidence, is (at the very least) a monomaniacal crank. And yes, that includes the Amnesty employee who wrote that blogpost. Whether they're an *anti-Semitic* crank largely depends on how far they've dived down that particular rabbit-hole.
