Jerusalem is on fire, and the idiot mayor of Jerusalem twiddles his thumbs. Much like the rest of the police in Israel, Jerusalem’s finest are consistently impotent, incompetent, or corrupt, unwilling to prevent, react to or even investigate terrorism. Jews are murdered, and all the Prime minister can do is bow before the make- believe king of Jordan, in order to assure him that the Temple Mount is in Muslim hands.
“Kill the Jews wherever you find them. Kill them with your hands, with your nails, and with your teeth.” – King Hussein, (Jordan) 1967
The Jews of Jerusalem are facing a genuine intifada as many astute individuals have already pointed out. The Arabs of Israel are committing terror and melting into their nests of security, beyond the reach of prosecution. Were Jews involved in such riots, Yassamnikim thugs would be set upon them before you could bat an eyelash. They would smash open Jewish heads with unbridled aggression. One imagines that the Shabak is already working on ways to deter possible responses (real or imagined) rather than to Arab terror itself.
Where are the police when you need them? The area of the Mount of Olives is notorious for its persistent and consistent arab attacks on Jews. Why the police don’t permanently set up shop in the area is beyond me. It suggests all sorts of things that make the sin of incompetence and negligence tame by comparison. Why can’t Jews safely take a walk to do tashlich in the Silwan region without being attacked by an Arab lynch mob? And why won’t armed Jews cut down such terrorists with their licensed guns, even after having their heads smashed in with wooden boards, with nails driven through them?
Why aren’t stone throwers shot dead like any terrorist, regardless of age? If one is old enough to light and throw a molotov cocktail bomb, then one deserves nothing but the grave. Yet the police avoid such confrontations, and actually back down during such confrontations. The result is a lawlessness of Arab terror against Jews, and draconian measures for those few normal Jews who respond with deadly force. The wisdom of Chelm with the morality of Sodom and Gomorra. A parody of sanity and justice.
I am sick of reading about helpless Jews being assaulted by Arab lynch mobs. Or Arabs dropping tractor loads of debris upon Jewish heads, burying them under thousands of pounds of rubble. I am sick of Arabs murdering our people.
Solutions: The ultimate answer is obviously to throw the hostile Arabs out of the country. Tragically, at this moment in history, we lack the leadership to deal with the fifth column within. In the meantime:
• Step # 1: Jews need to stop employing Arabs. Don’t give them a living. Arabs don’t employ Jews; don’t employ Arabs. Incidentally, hiring them is also a violation of the biblical prohibition of lo techaneim, not to give them favor in the land. By not employing them, that also means that there will
be fewer arabs driving bulldozers, tractors, and cranes into crowds of Jews. Fewer Arabs will be scoping out Jewish neighborhoods (from within the neighborhood) and handing the blueprints over to Fatah and Hamas. An Arab working in the kitchen is an Arab who may one day decide to lace the coffee with something other than expired creamer. It has happened many times before. There are prominent cafes that remain open today, that have such incidents on record. And tragically it will happen again.
• Step #2: Jewish self-defense. If Jews are not being protected, then we must protect ourselves. Trained Jews need to patrol sensitive regions in order to protect people. I know there are alleged reports of civilian patrols in sensitive regions. Kol Hakavod to them. But until we hear of such a group actually responding and deterring Arab violence, we have learned nothing. The Arabs need to go. In the absence of that, they need to have the fear of G-d upon them, lest they molest a Jew in any manner. I am advocating the morality of Jewish survival, and the Divine right of self-defense. If one comes to slay you, slay him first. There is nothing more moral than the right to protect our lives.
