Left-wingers seized on the opportunity provided to them by the Arab terrorist in Jerusalem. Sexual predator Haim Ramon demanded to wall Jerusalem off the Arab communities in its eastern part. In other words, the prime minister of vice says that by dividing Jerusalem we would end the Palestinian terrorism. Ramon, a convicted criminal, lacks in logic: the terrorist was an Israeli resident like 300,000 others. He worked at construction in the center of modern Jerusalem. His terrorist act was claimed by Free Galilee Battalions, an organization of Israeli Arab citizens.
A normal answer, a biblical answer to Arab terrorism would be to expel Palestinians, not to wall Jews off as in ghetto.
On other hand, Ramon’s argument makes sense: numerous Palestinian villages are in no way “East Jerusalem.” If not expelling the residents, divesting from them with a wall is a sensible choice.

Punishing terrorist’s family by destroying their house is illegal. It is not even a collective punishment, but retribution against completely innocent persons. “Let Rome fail but law prevail” is not our motto, and the law can be twisted if necessary. But that isn’t necessary.
Decades ago, demolition of terrorist houses was only a part of the collective punishment. Terrorist families were severely repressed, summarily exiled to Jordan, abused. In some instances, family members were killed in orchestrated squabbles with the army. Such policy didn’t deter all terrorist wannabes, but probably a lot of them. In any case, it was a respectful punishment for a serious crime.
Gradually, punitive exile was suspended, houses were quickly rebuilt with Saudi many and Palestinian labor, and terrorist families received subsidies from the Palestinian Authority (thanks you, Israel, for the tax transfers). House demolition remained a token vengeance which soothed Israeli public opinion and gave an impression that the army punishes perpetrators.
Overwhelming, exceptionally cruel retribution stops aggression, but token retribution only provokes it. No terrorist would be deterred by the prospect of his family house’ being demolished - because Palestinians would take care of his family. Weak retribution is not just worthless, it is actually harmful: it irritates the enemy. New terrorists feel themselves avenging yet another Israeli wrong, destroying the innocent family’s house. A burden easy to overcome is attractive, and terrorists even impart their families with heroics: their house would be destroyed but they will get through the ordeal unscathed.
I would support any strong retribution, however illegal. Hanging the terrorist’s entire extended family - great. Skinning them, burning alive - great. The world would scream, but the exceedingly harsh measure will discourage many terrorists. House demolitions, they are wrong.

in response to a Kassam rocket fired at the Negev. No Palestinian group claimed responsibility, and the attack was likely carried out Fatah’s militants working to undermine Hamas.
The crossings remained open for a day after Gazans honored ceasefire for two days.

The Arab who smashed Jews with Caterpillar bulldozer had lived with a Jewish woman. He is a family man with two children, no terrorist affiliation, and good reputation in the neighborhood. Just before the murders, the Arab dined quietly with his co-workers. Then something clicked in his mind.
There are two million of such Arabs in Israel.

After the Jerusalem terrorist attack, Kadima and Avodah parties agreed to the bill they have opposed just a day ago. Edelstein’s (Likud) bill would strip members of Palestinian terrorist organizations of Israeli citizenship. Kadima, Avodah initially opposed the bill in order to avoid alienating their Arab voters.
The bill violates human rights, as no one can be stripped of his citizenship.

In formally legal terms they are right, but who cares about the law.

Israeli PM lamented that the separation barrier protects Jews against Palestinian terrorists (not really true), but fails at stopping the terrorists who live inside Israel.
That’s what Rabbi Meir Kahane was telling all along.

who shelled Israel. Fatah never really arrested any terrorists, but receives Israel-US-EU aid.
