In a speech on Wednesday, President Reuven Rivlin slammed Arab leaders for their silence on the “incited and bloodthirst Arab mobs” pillaging property and burning shuls and schools in recent days.
“The sight of the pogrom in Lod and the disturbances across the country by an incited and bloodthirsty Arab mob, injuring people, damaging property and even attacking sacred Jewish spaces is unforgivable,” Rivlin said. “Tearing down the Israeli flag by Arab rioters and replacing it with the Palestinian flag is a brutal assault on shared existence in the State of Israel.”
“The silence of the Arab leadership about these disturbances is shameful, giving support to terrorism and rioting and encouraging the rupture of the society in which we live and in which we will continue to live once all this has passed.
“This country belongs to us all, and more than anything we must be loyal to it and its laws.
Overnight Tuesday, the Israeli government declared a state of emergency in Lod and Border Police were called into the city as the rioting and pillaging reached unprecedented levels.

even attacking sacred Jewish spaces is unforgivable If Rivlin would have expressed this outrage of his at Lieberman’s preposterous list of anti-Jewish & anti-Halocho demands he made on Sunday, then it would have been less necessary for haShem to cause this pillage to get Rivlin acting all shocked.
Furthermore Rivlin could simply pardon Netanyohu from false charges being levied by this blood thirsty madelblit, and Netanayohu would have made a coalition, and there wouldn’t be all this infighting attacking religion from the left.
1) Give a 24 hour warning.
2) Start to utterly destroy Gaza starting from the north and moving south, kilometer by kilometer. Every kilometer overtaken is this manner becomes part of Israel.
3) As soon as Hamas surrenders unconditionally stop the southward destruction. The land to the south of the surrender line remains in Arab hands.
4) Hamas will then be stripped of all their weapons.
5) If they refuse to give up all weapons go back to 2).
As far as anyone can tell, Israel has the firepower to make this work.
