I, too, opposed the government's decision to involve the IDF and the GSS in the fight against weapons in Arab society.
I saw it as a predatory decision.
I argued that there is a trampling of basic civil rights here, the trampling of which can only be tolerated when there is an existential danger to the state.
But in this case, since it is a criminal matter, and it is usually confined to Arab society itself, it must be dealt with as with any other criminal matter, no matter how serious.
Just as the state does not involve the GSS in wars with and among the crime families, nor does it send a Givati battalion to arrest the heads of the Domrani family, for example, or signal to 8200 to gather intelligence on Yitzhak Abergil, so he should not treat clans in the triangle villages or the diaspora The Bedouin in the south, whose sons shoot in the middle of the street. For that there are police. She is the one who believes in enforcing the law on the citizens.
I admit that when I formulated this opinion - I was undecided.
Over the years I have learned that when it comes to Arabs, the criminal quickly becomes nationalistic.
The private security companies in the Sharon localities would not have had to operate with such intensity if it were only the thefts of luxury jeeps.
They are employed on a handsome salary because of the fear that the next break-in could easily lead to an attack.
Let's really admit: it's much scarier to find an Arab burglar in a house than a Jewish burglar, because an Arab has another interest - he not only wants your jewelry, he also wants your land, and he will use terrorism to get it.
A letter broadcast this week on News 12 states that there has been a hundred percent increase in Hezbollah's arms smuggling from Jordan and Lebanon to Israel, and that it is intended for the Arab sector.
Police intelligence assessments claim that Hezbollah seeks to flood Israel with high-quality weapons, not so that clans can avenge blood or settle "family honor" matters (some noble expression of a distorted and cruel murder), but for "Doomsday."
We know this doomsday.
This is what the first days of the Wall Guard pogroms looked like, in which, in the blink of an eye, some of the Arabs who were our neighbors changed their minds and tried to murder us.
How fast was the change, how thin was the difference.
Imagine those days after Hezbollah flooded the street with quality weapons.
In any case, this weapon is not addressed to the public with any moral standards.
And when the lust for murder is in the eyes, and when there is no social boundary preventing it, but on the contrary - this weapon will be easily mobilized against us.
Hezbollah also knows this.
So if Hezbollah knows this, the police know this, the GSS and IDF intelligence know this, and even the government that sends the last two to intervene and address the problem knows this - how does the left continue to bury its head in the sand?
How does he continue to stand by the Arabs, from whom come those who commit these atrocities, and who plan to do more of the same?
And how does the Haaretz newspaper continue to publish flattering color articles, and in a caressing interview trying to understand why five young Arabs are holding weapons?
Why?
Because they want to murder.
First our people, then our people.
In fact - no matter the order.
