As the father of an NYPD officer who has relatives in Nahariya I can say that no member of any crime family would even attempt something like this in NYC. If they would be so foolish to do so would bring the full force of 35,000 men and women of the NYPD down on their scummy heads. It is time that the Israeli National Police take the advice of Sean Connery in the movie "The Untouchables"; "...they bring a knife, you bring a gun. They send one of yours to the hospital, you send one of theirs to the morgue."
