A tractor driver from the town of Tira received a police report Tuesday, responding to having run over the policeman and injuring him lightly. This act joins the fact that two police officers operating in the castle against criminals were shot and wounded, with one seriously wounded in the head. In the past week, the question arises: Has the Israeli police lost its deterrence in the Arab sector, and what should be done to restore this deterrence?

Assaf Heifetz: In the event of a lack of deterrence, determined activity in the field is required

Retired Chief Assaf Chafetz explains that no accidental accumulation of events can be studied, but he believes that if there is a deterrent problem, then the police have the tools to reclaim this deterrent. "First, during my time as a Central District commissioner or commissioner, as soon as I had the feeling that there was a deterrent problem, we acted resolutely. It means going everywhere, demonstrating presence and power and not giving up any action against the police.

"If you shoot at cops, then they answer fire and do not give up. However, you should not take a backlog and decide that there is a problem. If there is a problem, this is something only the current police command can say. In that case, then the same police that deals with terrorism or other issues in the Judea and Samaria area. She has no problem at all dealing with such cases in the Arab sector. "

Beyond that, Rabbi Chafetz explains that the police activity is in the interest of the Arab public itself that needs protection from the criminals as well. "As a general rule, something has to be said about deterrence. Offenders are not deterred by the police and do not count police officers anyway, there are police and they commit crimes. Those who are deterred and those who are effective against them are the rest of the public, about 95 percent of the population who do not commit crimes. Against the 95 percent of these, demonstration of power, presence in the field, non-waiver of deviation from the law, these actions will restore deterrence and preserve it if it does not exist. This, incidentally, is a first and foremost Arab interest, as is our interest. "

Moshe Karadi: An offender has to cross the street when he sees a policeman

Retired rabbi Moshe Karadi believes that there is indeed a deterrent to the police and should be taken to restore it. "An offender from every sector needs to know that if he starts with a cop, he'll end up in the hospital or for years in prison and not the cop being harmed. Unfortunately today's situation is that when a cop sees a criminal from a criminal organization then he crosses the road to the other side of the street rather than the perpetrator. In fact, I feel that nowadays police officers are scared, they hesitate to respond forcefully to criminals and those on the other feel that they can hurt the police and not be severely punished for it.

"This is the result of a long years of erosion in police deterrence and therefore police officers have become targets. Doctors have who will protect, nurses and judges who will protect but who will protect the police. In other states all recent events were over when the offender was in the hospital and not when the police officer was in the situation. For this, the attitude of the whole country must be changed, it is the attitude of the public, of the legislators, of the politicians.

"A policeman is a symbol of government, when a policeman harms the sovereign himself. In our sovereignty, we are all very serious. This is the situation that needs to be repeated. The offender will have to think a lot before confronting the police. I must say that I have always said that a policeman's encounter with a normative civilian ends It is a failure of the policeman, but in the face of a criminal offense it is also a failure if the policeman fears or is injured. It should be understood that in every society 95-96 percent of the public is normative and there is a small percentage who choose to deal with crime. These people must be deterred by the policeman and what he represents and unfortunately is not The situation in the country. "

MK Ahmad Tibi: Police consider the Arab public an enemy

Knesset Member Ahmed Tibi blames the Israeli police for wrong attitude throughout Arab society. "It's no secret that there are crime families and weapons rampage in the Arab sector that need to be exterminated, and that they will not tell stories that do not know how to do so. When the police want to, they have migrated crime families in Netanya and throughout the country, and can reach very large forces and order. And was hit last week, and shooting police is not justified at all, bringing a helicopter into the air and firing dozens of vehicles into the area.

When you want to demolish a house you can bring a lot of IDF mobility and act, but do not want to act and therefore there is a huge crisis of confidence. As a rule, unfortunately in the eyes of the police the Arab public in the country is perceived as an enemy. In fact, the work is not done to collect weapons and to eradicate rampant crime, and also relate to an enemy To the Arab civilians, for example, since the Or Commission in 2000, 57 Arab civilians have been killed by the police and the security forces, so the feeling is that the Arab police are an enemy.

"For example, when they are already coming to order and arrest a criminal in the Arab sector, then first of all, the police block the entrance to this locality and hand out driving reports to anyone who comes out or enters. It's a sense of collective punishment. When there was a recent attack by security guards in Tel Hashomer then a security guard was attacked, but then instead of easily arresting the attacker, the three security guards shot him when it was not consumed, and they were not investigated in the warning even though it was unnecessary killing. Thus it turns out that Arab society is simply in a huge crisis with the Israeli police, "Knesset Member Tibi concludes.
