Livni condemns Jews for defending themselves

against Arab rioters. Livni’s government “won’t allow citizens to take justice into their hands.” Perhaps the government wants to do something about justice itself? No – Dichter, too, promised to lock up “the inciters” – presumably, those Jews who organized self-defense against rioting Arabs. Hundreds of policemen deployed in Acre to stop Jews and Arabs who throw stones at each other.
For many years, Acre hadn’t seen such police presence despite its status of an Israeli Gaza. In Acre, Arabs push Jews out of neighborhoods, sell drugs openly, and engage in rampant violent crime, often against elderly Jews.
