You've nailed it! Citizens realize that they can't count on the pusillanimous authorities to protect them or the country. I'd like to see you expand on all those points on an actual column, Terry. All your talkbacks are excellent but this one definitely deserves to become a column. We're tired of hearing the unfair accusation of racism hurled at Israeli Jews, which ignores or distorts the real situation for Jews over there.. Regarding arson: It seems that the Knesset just defeated a bill calling for heavier penalties!!! And reporter Kalman Libeskind of Maariv has denounced a government and media coverup of what really went down during the fires. How can anyone fight crime/terrorism effectively if authorities appear to be in severe denial.

You can justify anything in your own head. A Racist, Apartheid State... Everything else is an illusion...

I believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) who is my supreme Deity.... Will you sell to me?

It is about Halacha. Halacha clearly defines this situation as it does in all situations of a Jews life (how much more soo to the whole country and Jewish neighborhoods). The Rabbis quoted the Rambam, from his halahic texts. Please read and learn before making bogus claims.

that number should be 100%
