The three stabbing attacks of recent days - at the gates of the Temple Mount, at the Gush Etzion junction and at the central bus station in Jerusalem - put Israel on the annual "holiday alert".
The month of Tishrei, a "time of disaster" from a security point of view for many years, but this time the vigilance and readiness must be different.
For many years, a "low probability" was granted for a scenario in which Israeli Arabs or some of them would join riots and terrorism alongside their Palestinian brethren in Judea and Samaria and Gaza.

This is the first test in this sector since May, both for Israeli Arabs and for the security forces.
If Israeli Arabs want to prove that their "intifada," as Commissioner Saturn rightly called it, was a one-time stumble, they must prove it. More alarming signs: Thousands of Sakhnin fans roared last Saturday at Sami Ofer Stadium: "In spirit and blood, we will release al-Aqsa"; The policy of Islamic Jihad.
The jihadist's letter rejects the attempts of "Zionist propaganda" to present Israeli Arabs as "collaborators."
Barka himself made it clear in his own words that "Nazareth is loyal to the Palestinian struggle."
And last but not least: the chairman of the joint list, MK Ayman Odeh, clarified that "if six prisoners managed to break through the narrow and crowded prison, then millions of the Palestinian people can stop the occupation so that people will be released and the prisoners will be released."
No word on murderers and their victims and terrorism.

Israeli Arabs should ignore these agitating voices of their leaders.
Security forces need to be prepared for the possibility that not everyone will ignore things.
The two factions of the Islamic Movement in Israel - the outlawed North and the southern one - now represented in the government, as well as Hamas supporters among us and nationalist extremists among Israeli Arabs, are the potential for further fire.
We must not fall asleep again.
It must not be said again: "Low probability."
