Opinion | It is actually good that the criminal organizations are afraid of the GSS | Israel Today

Although the GSS's mission is to thwart terrorism, it may be time to treat crime in Arab society in exactly the same way: terrorism and a national threat


With the sharp rise in crime and deadly violence in Arab society, the government and enforcement arms have begun to seriously discuss new ways to deal with crime.

"Out of the box," as they say.

The announcement of the establishment of a "fencing" ("crime prevention" wing) - and I say this as an Arab citizen and in the opinion of many experts in the field - serves publicity purposes, not much beyond that.

The police, which is the sole enforcement arm in the country, should not wait for the establishment of a new wing to fulfill its cause of existence - a fierce war on crime and crime of any kind, anytime, anywhere;

And it is doubtful whether the addition of Arab police officers or the establishment of police stations in Arab localities will eradicate crime, because so far police officers and stations have been added - and crime is only rising.

The impression is that the Israel Police has not yet completed the introductory course in recognizing Arab society.

Some of its efforts have been successful, but the great failure is intelligence or perceptual: not only has crime not been avoided, not only has the illegal trade in weapons increased, but the deterrent has been completely lost.

The government is therefore doing well when it discusses the possibility of introducing the General Security Service into the picture, and entrusting it with the task of dismantling the criminal organizations in the Galilee, the Triangle and the Negev.

This will require legislation, because the GSS 'mission is to thwart terrorism, but perhaps it is time to treat crime in Arab society in exactly the same way: terrorism and a national threat.

The GSS has a clear and substantial intelligence priority over the police, and it also enjoys high-quality and large deterrent power in Arab society. ".

But the situation became unbearable, and it was time to shuffle the cards.

The GSS 'mission must be measured and timed. The government must entrust the most effective and deterrent organization with two main tasks: the first - dismantling criminal organizations after declaring them terrorist organizations for all intents and purposes, and the second - collecting illegal weapons, which meanwhile mainly harms civilians. The Arabs, but it is not far off today that this weapon will also be aimed at Jewish citizens and not only for criminal reasons. -hfic, and chances dramatically improve the situation outweigh the risks.


If running alongside a measured and controlled Shabak's national campaign to prevent crime in Arab society, will worsen drastically criminal penalties for possession, trafficking and distribution of illicit weapons - can be seen A light at the end of the dark tunnel into which the whole of Arab society has been thrown, and which also threatens the entire population.
