Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat has spelled out his plan for restoring order to neighborhoods in Jerusalem where Arab attacks on Jews have become daily occurrences, and said that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu also forcefully demanded action by the security forces in a recent high-level discussion.
Barkat enumerated the neighborhoods currently under attack – from Armon Hanatziv, Har Homa, and Gilo in southern Jerusalem, through the Mount of Olives area, Issawiya and Silwan, northward to Shuafat and Beit Hanina, where the Light Rail has repeatedly come under brutal attack.
He commended Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who he said took very seriously the letter Barkat sent him earlier this month, demanding action against the riots in Jerusalem. Netanyahu gathered the Public Security Minister and top police commanders, he said, for a discussion immediately after Yom Kippur. "I have to tell you,” Barkat said, “that I saw the prime minister banging angrily on the table, and committed to make the necessary change, so that the residents of Jerusalem and visitors to Jerusalem, in the seam line neighborhoods, including the Arab neighborhoods, will feel safer than they do at the moment.”
In an interview on Galei Yisrael Radio, Barkat said police special forces units in Jerusalem need to be “doubled” in size – at one point, he said 100 Yassam policemen need to be added to the force – and to adopt a more aggressive posture. Instead of waiting inside the Jewish neighborhoods for Arabs to attack – the forces should enter the Arab neighborhoods and use their intelligence gathering abilities to nip attacks in the bud, he explained....

Pals : start packing
Barkat is going to take Bibi’s place someday, though there’ll probably be a few PMs in between; Barkat isn’t politically conservative enough for my liking, but he will not sell out Israel to its enemies.
Deuteronomy 7, Bibi. Deut. 7
I agree. Kick them all out. The Bible said that if such people are allowed to remain in the land there will be no peace and they will always be a thorn in the side. And such they are.
One of my bucket list items was to visit Israel. But now that I’m retired and have the time, I wonder if it’s too late to do so safely.
It’s time Israel took control of all of Jerusalem,
and gave the Islamics a taste of what they have
been dishing out for so long.
Agreed. But Israel has its lefty loonies as well.
the blight and the curse of every free country
You are probably safer in Israel than in a lot of American cities. Take a tour over there with a group, don’t travel alone. The good tour groups know what’s what and will take appropriate measures to ensure your safety. There was an armed guard outside our hotel in the heart of Jerusalem. When we traveled to Hebron, an A-rab hotspot, we traveled in a bus with bulletproof glass. And I am quite certain our bus driver and our guide, both veteran of the Israeli army, were armed. Israel is far too gorgeous of a country, with far too many spiritual things to visit, to let the A-rab scum keep you from visiting there. My friends and their kids travel back and forth from there all the time.
