This reminds of me Adrian Schoolcraft and his whistleblowing on the NYPD.

I listened to a This American Life on it, and the secret recordings he made are harrowing (especially when a NYPD deputy chief found the hidden recorder...which was caught on tape by the second hidden recorder.)

Adrian Schoolcraft (born 1976) is a former New York City Police Department (NYPD) officer who secretly recorded police conversations from 2008 to 2009. He brought these tapes to NYPD investigators in October 2009 as evidence of corruption and wrongdoing within the department. He used the tapes as evidence that arrest quotas were leading to police abuses such as wrongful arrests, while the emphasis on fighting crime sometimes resulted in underreporting of crimes to keep the numbers down.

After voicing his concerns, Schoolcraft was reportedly harassed and reassigned to a desk job. After he left work early one day, an ESU unit illegally entered his apartment, physically abducted him and forcibly admitted him to a psychiatric facility, where he was held against his will for six days.[1] In 2010, he released the audio recordings to The Village Voice, leading to the reporting of a multi-part series titled The NYPD Tapes. That same year he filed a lawsuit against the NYPD and Jamaica Hospital. In 2012 The Village Voice reported that a 2010 unpublished report of an internal NYPD investigation found the 81st precinct had evidence of quotas and underreporting.

The Arab governments literally want to wipe out the existence of Israel. They have publicly made this fact. You can argue whether Israel should be existed there in the first place, but that's that, and we have to deal with the reality in that Israel does exist now, and you can't just have all those people cease to exist either.
