A crucial part of Palestinian terrorism among Israeli Arabs and residents of the West Bank stems from the erosion of deterrence.
Since the second intifada and the October 2000 riots, a new generation of Palestinians has grown up, not experiencing for themselves what happens when Jews understand the seriousness of the danger threatening them and decide to forcibly break Palestinian society's will from within and outside to launch and support the killers.
Those who try to enter and harm Tekoa - as well as the murderers in Be'er Sheva, Hadera, Bnei Brak, Dizengoff and Elad, the rioters in Lod, Acre and the Negev roads and the hooligans in Kibbutz Kfar Masaryk - are young people who have not experienced the repression of the Defensive Shield and the violent violence among Arab citizens. period.
This is a part of Arab society that does not recognize a situation in which members of culture "live and let live."
These recognize only one of two situations: if they cease to fear the state and the majority society, they derive morbid satisfaction from the ability to inflict terror and terror on them.
These factors can only be suppressed and deterred by force.
"Burning of Consciousness" from Boogie Ya'alon's seminary, received a lot of hypocritical and arrogant criticism from studio and columnists.
Thanks to that burning, a major outbreak of violence in the West Bank was prevented for nearly two decades and coordination was achieved with the Palestinian security forces.
Israel's determined response to the mass rioting of Arab civilians in support of the war on terror in the October 2000 riots has since prevented widespread and organized violence on their part.
In addition to hunting down and eliminating the terrorists themselves, a leap forward and extensive action is now needed to harm their supportive environment.
The elimination of Sinuar, Naurim and their gangs is desirable at an appropriate operational opportunity, but the elimination does not in itself guarantee a strategic return.
The change must be perceptual: Hamas must not be rewarded with the protectionist method in Gaza, when it uses terrorism from the West Bank, Lebanon and among Israeli Arabs;
Jenin must not enjoy economic relief (entry permit for Israeli Arabs) when it sends terrorists from within "extra territory" controlled by its terrorists.
And the main thing: to prevent the outbreak of anarchy in Israel, a blatant systemic message must be sent that will resonate among the young Arab public in Israel and suppress hostility, a trend that is gaining momentum in front of our eyes: Arabs, for their perverse pleasure, intimidate Jews and harm the representatives of the state, its infrastructure, its institutions and its symbols, while documenting their rampage with a justified sense of immunity from the rule of law.
They do so because a significant portion of the young Arab public on social media sees them as its heroes and deeds as compensation for the justified feelings of inferiority of that segment.
If the Israeli enforcement system does not severely punish and humiliate these hooligans, and if it does not present to the Arab public the severe and ongoing damage that will be inflicted on them for many years, the State of Israel will soon find itself facing an internal threat. More.
Documentation of the hooligans themselves shows a break-in to the village of Masaryk, curses in the language of sewers to its residents and demonstrated contempt for an armed security man.
They also document, for example, provocations in a police car with wild driving, intrusion into a horse-riding cafe and other provocations.
They dare to act like barbarians, recognizing the misery of the Israeli enforcement system - from the police, through the State Attorney's Office to judges: the police take pride in large-scale operations and abandon public space, the State Attorney's Office is exalted in puzzling plea bargains, and judges impose ridiculous punishments.
It begins with videos, continues with a violent riot on the road that isolated the city of Arad and pogroms in mixed cities, and ends, if not suppressed with a strong hand, in the loss of security of Jews in their country and in an attempt to block IDF forces on their way to the front during war.
