Israel's decision to recognize Ben Yosef Livnat as a victim of terrorism means that the state has officially recognized the Palestinian Authority police force as a hostile organization, Dov Kalmanovitch said Friday in an interview with Arutz Sheva.
Kalmanovitch, who heads the Zochrim organization for victims of terrorism, explained that according to Israeli law, a victim of terrorism is someone who was hurt or killed during an attack carried out “by a hostile organization, or someone sent on behalf of such an organization.”
Livnat was shot and killed by PA police as he and friends left Joseph's Tomb (Kever Yosef) after praying at the site. Acquaintances said Ben Yosef and his friends often prayed at the site, and were known to PA officers in the area.
Local PA Arabs celebrated the slaying by setting fire to the tomb.
For one month the state avoided defining him as a victim of terror. “Ben Yosef's murder was carried out by Palestinian police, and the state had a problem defining the Palestinian police as a hostile organization... they did not want to publicly state that the incident was a hostile operation” said Kalmanovitch.

I am glad that with President Netinyahu at the helm that Israel will say the hard things that need to be said.
of topic - I thought the headline was referring to the Philly police who said they will continue drawing down on legal gun owners.
So did I.
No news here. The Palestinian Authority is the new name for the PLO. The have always been a terrorist organization and remain so.
Me too. I thought the reference to PA was Pennsylvania.
Ditto.

The devil is in the details, especially a tsunami of details that distracts from the overall picture. Leftist tactic.
What is more mind-boggling are those in the US that identify themselves as Jews, and then donate to the DNC and OBummer. Every dollar given to the DNC is another dollar to kill Israel.
The news is that the Israeli government has finally woken up and smelled the coffee, and the PA/PLO/Murdering Scum have finally stopped even pretending to be interested in piece. War comes next. My family and I are in the middle of it, right near Hebron but we knew that could happen when we moved here. Our Mezuzot are kosher. It’s all in G-d’s hands now. I’m not afraid.
