Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat: “We must restore peace and security in Jerusalem- as I have said for months, the situation in Jerusalem is intolerable and we must act unequivocally against all violence taking place in the city. Today, more than ever, it is clear that we must send police forces into neighborhoods where there are disturbances, placing them strategically and widely in significant numbers.
Following my request, the Prime Minister has given instructions to reinforce the police forces in order for us to implement an operational action plan formulated to deal with riots, including the addition of personnel and special units, using technological means, and increased intelligence.
I will continue to be vigilant and we will not rest until security is restored in Jerusalem.”

How can there be “peace restored in Jerusalem”!when Rabbis are fighting amongst each other? When Chareidim despise modern people? When modern despise Chareidim? How can there be peace?
Is there some reason there cannot be a total security barricade surrounding Shuafat? Give me one good reason!It should have gone up the FIRST TIME a rock was thrown at a train.
#2 I agree!
If I saw a ploice officer driving down my street and I threw a rock at him, I would be charged with a hefty penalty.
If its done in Israel, its called ‘a riot’
If you attack property or law officers, you should be charged. Not fired with tear gas!
Get 1000 police officers there, every person of any age holding a rock will be charged with assault, terrorism, and as an enemy of the state. It won’t last for long.
Additionally any school where they teach that Israel is the enemy, should be charged with treason.
Imagine a school in the US where they teach the kids to destroy and attack the government?! It would be shut down in minutes and all teachers and staff charged with assisting and guiding terrorists, and treason. But in Israel, its ok if millions of children are learning in school to hate and kill Israelis.
