Another Israeli-Arab Killed By An Israeli-Arab
Another Israeli-Arab was murdered by an Israeli-Arab in Umm al-Fahm (in northern Israel) yesterday bringing to 101 the number of Israeli-Arabs killed by Israeli-Arabs so far this year.
Halil Ja’o was gunned down just outside of his house. He was the sixth member of his family targeted this year. A brother was critically wounded in a previous attack.
To say that the crime situation in Israeli-Arab communities is out of control is to make a dramatic understatement.
Shimon Lavie, the Police Superintendent for the Northern District of Israel offered these numbers yesterday. He began by pointing out that the Northern District has 1.3 million inhabitants of which 650,000 (1/2) are Israeli-Arabs.
These 650,000 are responsible for:
98% of the murders in the District
99% of the shooting incidents
80% of the robbery incidents
65% of the arson incidents
Lavie concluded his remarks by saying that there is a war on the streets. He might have added that there is a war because the Israeli police have surrendered control to the many Israeli-Arab gangs that roam the various towns and communities. Most of these gangs are based on family/tribal/clan allegiances.
The government seems to think that pouring money into these communities will bring the crime wave to a halt.
It won’t.
Until the Police reassert themselves, it will not make any difference how much money the government pumps into the crime-ridden areas.
