Following the firebomb attack in Yerushalayim on Monday night 19 Menachem Av that left a woman with moderate injuries and two others with light injuries, Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat stated he will not tolerate terrorism, including rocks and firebombs.
The mayor stated “We will not surrender to terrorism or permit this to change our routine”. The mayor added “Every stone and firebomb thrown is serious terror attack”, emphasizing the city will not permit such attacks. The mayor stressed he spoke with Jerusalem Police Chief Moshe Edri, asking him to increase manpower in Beit Haninah where the attack occurred.
Beit Haninah and neighboring Shuafat are predominately Arab areas, the same areas where the Jerusalem light rail is attacked on an almost daily basis.
MK Avigdor Lieberman told the media “We must remember that when Jews attack Arabs it is the exception but when Arabs attack Jews, it is the norm, terror against Jews. Regarding all terrorism, and it makes no difference from which side, we must use force but we must remain cognizant of the true threat, and we must use all our resources to protect the Jews living in Eretz Yisrael”.
It is added that the Jerusalem Magistrate Court on Tuesday afternoon, 19 Menachem Av, complied with an Israel Police request for a gag order on the ongoing investigation into the firebomb attack in Beit Haninah for a period of 30 days.

“MK Avigdor Lieberman told the media “We must remember that when Jews attack Arabs it is the exception but when Arabs attack Jews, it is the norm, terror against Jews”
So when can we expect the PA leaders to start their own apology tour to the Jewish victim’s families??? I thought so!
A few stories down YWN reported:
“The PA (Palestinian Authority) has turned to the International Court of Justice in The Hague to investigate the arson attack in the village of Duma”.
So will the feckless leaders in Israel follow suit? No, of course not. White Jewish GUILT trumps everything! They’re still busy with their stupid Apology’s! And the “experts” are worried about Iran? When it comes to the Palestinians, the Israeli’s cant fight their way out of a paper bag! Forget Iran. Just give it time and the weakling loser Israeli’s will self destruct. Rabbi Kahana z”l was on to something.
Why do the police want a gag order for 30 days? Are they worried that people’s attention will be drawn away from the supposedly discovered vast Jewish terrorism apparatus and be reminded 99% of the real terrorist are arabs? Maybe they want to distract everyone from the truth for a month until they will be distracted again by chagim and forget about the arabs trying to murder us?
48 years too late. Stones/rocks have been thrown with impunity against Jewish buses and cars since we got back the old city in 1967. How, can you suddenly say its illegal when they have been doing it their whole lives?
Do you have no respect for their way of life?
Flush the garbage out. Start with the arab members of knesset and dont stop till the last stone throwing urchin is permanently taken care of.
