Here's some more information about Kibbutz Beit Alfa, where @Sethrogen's parents met.
The kibbutz owns Beit-Alfa Technologies Ltd, an "international leading designer and manufacturer of special purpose vehicles since 1966."

Beit Alfa Technologies also makes the "Water Restraint System" (WRS) that is marketed for multiple uses, including "inmate control". The wall in this promotional photo looks very similar to the "separation (or apartheid) wall" built throughout the West Bank.pic.twitter.com/ZKLuHERJpU

If the inmates or rioters don't get the message from the high-pressure pulsing jet streams of water, don't worry! The WRS includes a "progressive selection of tools". You can go from a short pulse of water to a long pulse, then a continuous stream.

But if the inmates and rioters still don't get the hint, "chemical injection provides an important and very useful feature." You can inject pepper spray into the high pressure jet.pic.twitter.com/A8Bp3itG3d

Finally, here's a 2017 promo from B.A.T. for the "STING", the "new generation of riot control vehicles." Kibbutz Beit Alfa sits in a landscape marred by ethnic cleansing, making the blatant anti-Palestinian racism in the video that much more disgusting.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OJ4Iqw3dgA …
