Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu did an about-face, announcing he was stopping the placement of concrete barriers around problematic Arab neighborhoods of the capital in the ongoing battle against Islamic terror. Mr. Netanyahu has responded to the public outcry as many view the move as racist and collective punishment.
Others including Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz, who is very close to the prime minister, explain the reason the prime minister decided to halt the initiative is by placing walls around the capital, the prime minister is in fact dividing Jerusalem which will be perceived as rewarding terrorists.

Boy, he really knows and his own mind, and sticks to his guns, doesn’t he. So they’re just going to let these cockroaches roam the city, because to fence them in is racist?
Meir Kahane would never have done this “about face”.
