There is no doubt that the Jewish rioters who arrived in Hawara succeeded in landing a heavy blow on the Israeli government.
When party member Zvika Fogel talks about deterrence through fire, he undermines the rule of law, and in fact undermines the most basic security theory of the State of Israel.
It is not civilians who carry out retaliatory actions, but the IDF and the security forces, according to the decision of the political echelon.

The issue is the rule of law.
We argue about democracy and the rule of law;
But for a moment there can be no doubt that without the rule of law there is no democracy and no free elections through which the people express their sovereignty.
The first question everyone asks is: a criminal riot, with the burning of dozens of houses and cars and many casualties, cannot pass without an investigation and arrests of the perpetrators - why doesn't this happen?
It seems that the authorities responsible for law enforcement in Israel are preoccupied with pursuing and supervising senior government officials, and have forgotten the basic goal of maintaining law and order.
Vogel's statement arouses the serious suspicions that there was some kind of gust of wind that fueled and raised the flames.
But along with all the expected instructions from the ministers concerning the security issue, Ben Gabir and Galant - the story of disturbances in Hawara was something that a local commander could have prevented.
And if not him, then the general of the Central Command or the commander of the forces in the IOSH. One can understand, although it is impossible to agree, why the security forces were not there at the right moment to stop the arsonists, who are reminiscent of serious past events. Again, for the umpteenth time, the terrorists. This is understandable - because this is the healthy instinct of the IDF.

In the case of the murder of the two brothers, blood boils and one could also expect a rampage of violent elements from the settlement.
Deterrence, as Zvika Fogel claims, is of course an important thing, but it is not the most important thing.
After all, if this were true, according to Vogel's method, it would be possible to do more extreme acts.
The public in Israel knows how to absorb terrorist attacks, fight terrorism, and still uphold the law.
This means that even if both hands are free to strike, they still don't do anything you can do with a weapon.
The terrorist activity of the Palestinians may correspond with the attempts to act against the social order at home.
The murder of the brothers Hillel Weigel Yaniv in Hvara once again raises questions about the ability of Smotrich and Ben Gvir to bear the burden of a government committed to upholding the law and statesmanship.
All this precisely in the days when irresponsible parties spread the big lie about an "illegitimate government".
It is impossible to know where the situation will go, it is better for the government to seize the initiative and find a quick bureaucratic path to provide compensation to the Palestinian citizens whose houses were burned.
