Jeff Klein and a tear gas grenade in Bil'in.
Correction: The tear gas used in Bil'in is manufactured by Combined Tactical Systems, Inc, based in Jamestown, Pennsylvania, not the Defense Technology Corporation of America as reported below. For more information see here.
Regarding Ahmed Moor’s report from Bil’in:
Those rubber teargas grenades (rubber so they bounce along spreading the gas rather than get stuck in one place) are “Made in USA.” I believe that the 40mm teargas shells are also made in USA.
This is one of the tear gas grenades thrown at us by the Israeli Army at a demonstration against the Apartheid Wall outside the West Bank village of Bil’in. It is made by the Defense Technology Corporation of America, headquartered in Casper, Wyoming - http://www.defense-technology.com/:

A perfect example of American technology financed by American tax dollars at work. I know a good one: they hate us because of our freedoms.
I love the happy Madison Avenue-sounding advertising cadence to this agent of death and oppression. It’s very 1984.
“To maximize the bubble-scrubbing power against the most stubborn of stains…”
“To psychologically and physiologically maximize less-lethal force against the most stubborn of crowds…”
What? I’m just washing the dishes of unwanted stains. And by “washing” I mean ethnically cleansing. And by “dishes” I mean this lovely piece of land here. And by “stains” I mean…
“less lethal”
That doesn’t mean nobody will be killed, just less of them.
Where else would they be made? Japan and South Korea make our cars, Europe makes anything of notable quality for us and China makes pretty much everything else. And even the call centers to support all this are moving out of the US now. The only thing we do have industry for any more is for tools of barbarism — because nobody else feels the need to make those in such quantities.
This is no doubt part of the annual $3 billion in our tax dollars Congress voted to give our “best friend in the region.” Hey, they hate us for our freedoms! Muslim life is cheap! Sickening.
Apparently the item is now marketed under a new name, “Han-Ball” grenade.

optional CS or OC chemical agents. As far as I can tell those are classical tear gas and the ‘hot chili’ they make pepper spray of – concentration unknown.
Did you know the strength of the ‘pepper spray’ type tear gas(scovile heat units) can be measured by a dilute+taste test? That’s the original Scoville test and it’s a good ballpark test.
….crowd control, as in “Hey, get on with it already. Why my God it’s already taken us too f—— long. Thought we had every angle covered. What the hell went wrong?” -
and for anyone trying to figure out what the above is all about?
