Police and volunteers are manning checkpoints, lookouts and ambushes throughout Israel in an effort to combat a wave of terrorist arson by Arab citizens of Israel. While occasionally reporting some of the arson incidents, most news sources are playing them down considerably, while others cover them up completely.
The IDF has released video footage shot from an IAF aircraft, which shows a vehicle escaping from the scene of an arson attack on the Carmel Mountain. The conversation on the radio, in Hebrew, is between pilots and police. The pilots report that they have received word from a firefighting aircraft that spotted the vehicle leaving the scene of an act of arson, near a spot called the Muhraka. The aircraft follows the vehicle a Renault Kangoo until it is stopped by police cars.
However, the pictures have already begun making the rounds worldwide. A group called Mujahedeen of Palestine, identified with Al-Qaeda, put the pictures of the bodies on a YouTube video. The video includes text that says Muhammad's lions came out at night to set alight the land of the occupiers.

The Arabs are trying to burn down Israel, and the media is silent.
The arabs even posted a facebook page featuring the charred bodies where they clicked "Like". Arab villages were found celebrating.
The Israelis are afraid to retain and jail those arrested for fear of mass reprisals and more fires set. The media is not saying a word. Not a single word.
Please make everyone you know aware of what is going on.

I doubt that. Israel afraid to let loose arsonists because retaining them might mean more arsonists? That doesn’t make any sense.
TWA 800, AA 587 etc. They tell us what to think.
The media is complicit.
Not surprising.
The media has been complicit for a long time.
Open season on arsonists with no limit.
Actually, it makes a lot sense. In the past months, and in the past in general, local arabs have set a number of fires. This includes groups of them setting fire to, and destroying sacred sites such as Joseph’s tomb. They have attempted this repeatedly. Thankfully, they were caught in time, and the Israelis were able to put them out before they reached these proportions.
What the Israelis are afraid of is more such terrorism while they are stretched far beyond their limits, and in need of international help in putting this massive fire out.
It is a matter of a realization that the Israelis are not able to fend off massive fires. This is a serious vulnerability, as this situation clearly shows. Israel is afraid that any arrests will cause a situation where things will become a lot worse.
