2. The police passivity encourages crimes in the Arab sector...
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (07.23.08)
The police passivity encourages crimes in the Arab sector in Israel. The police's permissive behavior is the reason of the impertinence of the lawless Arabs. Rather than arresting the hundreds who came to praise Dhaim the police did nothing. In Arab neighborhoods in Jerusalem, as in the Beduin settlements in the Negev and the Arab cities and villages in the Galilee, the police simply refuse to enforce the law. They do not patrol the streets. They do not arrest religious, educational and political leaders who solicit terrorism or incite hatred. They do not enforce building laws. They do not protect state and privately owned land from squatters. Today some 90 percent of Arab construction in Israel is carried out without permits. Whole towns in the Negev have been built on stolen state land. Rather than enforce the law, the police does nothing. More at : http://xrl.us/bi3hx
3. Duh!! it will happen again & again...

4. E. Jerusalem "Security" Measures???
marlene ,   Philadelphia USA   (07.23.08)
(1) throw out of Israel the families of the terrorists; (2) demolish their homes; and (3) take over the town and establish jewish settlers. MAKE IT KNOWN TO THEM that this will be your policy that you will put into immediate operation following the very next terrorist attack! Try that Israel. Nothing else you've done has worked - NOTHING!
5. "effective activity"
James Hovland ,   Land of the free   (07.23.08)
Humanize the enemy, point it out, explain it, address the changes, and challenge the Palestinians to follow. This can create the real conditions for peace, show proof of peaceful intentions, and offer a better path. Make it known that the advocates of violence have nothing to offer that hasn't already failed, while you hold all the keys the people have been searching for.
6. The more IDF check stations for Palestinians are shut down,
Rivkah   (07.23.08)
the more militant the Palestinians become.

8. Solutions
Ricardo Macher ,   KarneiShomron Israel   (07.23.08)
They only way to stop this madness is by making things clear for everybody, principally for us Israelis. 1)Arabs are today our enemies. 2) That may change if they believe that they cannot defeat us. 3) We Israelis must understand that good will is NOT enough, to wish to have a peace partner doenst mean you have it. 4) The Land of Israel belongs to Jewish People, others can live here as long as they accept this and are loyal to our flag. This is the way it works all over the world, just dreamers believe that you may have rights and no obligations.
9. Seal off the villages.
jason white ,   afula,israel   (07.23.08)
When they throw rocks or malatovs, then open fire and do not stop till they attackers are dead or the village turns them over. Stop employing arabs. The employers of the arab terrorists should be held accountable for the actions of their terrorist employees.
10. My opinions
Orit   (07.23.08)
Firstly, the murderers' families should be thrown out of the house and Jewish families or a yeshiva should be put in their place. Secondly, the police are afraid to go into Arab towns, villages, and neighborhoods in order to fight crime. Everyone knows that most car thieves are Arabs, and that the cars they steal can be found in their areas, yet the police refuse to search there.
11. #2 Robert,it is revolting how right you are.
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (07.23.08)
12. With the encouragement of the "Hi" Court dozens of terrorsts
Miriam ,   israel   (07.23.08)
have entered Israel under the family re-reunification laws. This was revealed by none other than Meir Sheetrit.
13. does the IDF have to teach the police that messing up
observer   (07.23.08)
has to be before the robotic action? : clearly, the "suspected" suicide bomber was stripped from his closes and literally executed before going through the robotic business. After taking off his clothes, no bomb was there, but still the robotistic action had to continue.
14. "Ineffective"
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (07.23.08)
That seems to be the key word for everything this gov't. does. It's also the best description of Livni. She's turned "ineffective" into her political philosophy.
15. What's the problem? If they don't know how to behave
Miriam ,   Israel   (07.23.08)
among humans, they should be exported to their own countries. They have 22 countries to reside in. In the meantime, we should stop employing them. If they won't find work here, they'll automatically get out.
16. WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IS...
Abs ,   Melbourne Australia   (07.23.08)
I lived in Jerusalem for 15 years till last year 2007, now I am living in Melbourne Australia terror free. I was a (leftist) central party member for 7 years till I did a reality check. I found being a Left wing supporter that over 90% of our public claims and cries were solely based on emotion, almost nothing we had claimed could ever be won over in a fair argument of proven facts. We had always twisted facts and used numbers to impress those not well informed like those living abroad for support of our actions taken. Denial is an active ingredient in being a left wing member, it stirs inner emotions and is fashionable in Israeli society it makes us appearing to be intelligent. We hid behind false values of love for our neighbors when we hate our own brothers at arms. Self hatred was a daily subconscious practice for us members. When demonstrating with terror supporting Palestinians like over the erecting of the wall that protects Israel from terrorist infiltration, we took a stance before our soldiers and police officers out of sheer self hatred, we said all did all out of 100% selfishness disguised as peace lovers. Militant Arab mentality is different to that of a well molded society, after taking that reality check I woke up to the fact that militant Arabs need to be dealt with a language they understand and not Yafe Nefesh values of a self hating Jew who look to take down the whole of Israel in their denial politics. Militants respect force, kindness is interpreted as a weakness by them not a kind outstretched hand.
