The Rami Levy supermarket chain has always been a symbol of coexistence – of Jews and Arabs working and shopping together. But not everyone (on the Arab side) likes that idea.
When the various Rami Levy supermarkets began becoming repeated target for Arab terrorists, Rami Levy took initial steps to increase customer safety, from removing all the knives off the shelves to (for a while) pre-cutting all the chickens and meat, so there were no knives in the butcher section (there’s a couple of knives back there now).
Besides the guard at the entrance, there are also IDF soldiers in the parking lots.
But, despite all that, the terrorist still managed to get in with a knife last week to stab and kill a Jewish man.
Today, Rami Levy is installing a full size metal detector at the entrance to the Rami Levy in Sha’ar Binymanin.
Will that be security enough? Or is coexistence no longer on the table?
