Beefed-up security fails to staunch spiraling Palestinian terror
DEBKAfile Special Report October 3, 2015, 9:35 PM (IDT)
In the space of 48 hours, during the Jewish festival season, two pairs of Israel parents were attacked by Palestinian terrorists. After gunmen killed the first couple Eitam and Na’ama Henkin in a drive-by ambush near Alon More Thursday night, a second couple and their two-year old child were knifed in the Old City of Jerusalem Saturday night, Oct. 3 by a another Palestinian terrorist on their way to the Western Wall. They were among a large crowd thronging through the main street to the Kotel.
The father and a second man died of their injuries before reaching hospital, the mother is in grave condition.. The child was struck in the foot. A fourth victim is in very serious condition. After his stabbing attack, the terrorist snatched the sidearm of one of his victims and began shooting at passing tourists before Border Guards police cut him down. The dead terrorist has meanwhile been identified as Muhand Halabi, 19, from El Bireh near Ramallah.
Jerusalem is beset for some weeks now by fast escalating aggressive Palestinian terror.The heavily beefed up forces of Border Guards and IDF troops are clearly failing to staunch or avert the rising violence.
The fatal stabbing attack in Jerusalem Saturday followed two overnight attacks elsewhere in the city: gunfire on an Israeli vehicle near Maale Adummim. In the southern district, gunshots from Jebel Mukabar reached the neighboring Jewish neighborhood of Nof Zion. No one was hurt in both these incidents. Saturday night, there was more shooting from Jebel Mukabar.
Police have imposed a curfew on the Old City of Jerusalem and shut all the gates to Temple Mount.
The large-scale army raid of Nablus in pursuit of the murderers of Eitam and Na’ama Henkin has rounded up a number of suspects.
its time to give abbas and fatah what arafat got. Until they are weeping in rubble wailing for their dead children like gaza they will continue to kill jews
his measures are a joke… all the pals need to feel it. Many should be shot dead in round ups… the IDF should be given the license to kill.
the IDF should be given free reign to shoot dead all the anti semites. all the shops on the street should have been closed down and the anti semites slaughtered. It is obvious that soem of the bystanders were part of the murder and should be shot dead. Unless a lot of pals are killed they will not stop.

Well said. Israelis have two problems.The Palestinians and Netanyahu.
babushka Said:
Yes
CuriousAmerican Said:
Works for me 🙂
Netanyahu should be hiding in shame. These murders are a byproduct of his appeasement, which has greatly emboldened the enemies of the Jews everywhere…especially in the Oval Office. His wonderful speeches have become farcical, the eloquence of cowardice. Nothing produces contempt faster than hollow threats, and hollow threats are Netanyahu’s stock in trade. His ludicrous preening is getting Jews killed. It is time for him to stop bloviating meaningless ultimatums and start defending Israel.
@ babushka:
Netanyahu is hiding in the US. Fact.
May the victims be avenged with such ruthless retribution that the Palis become too terrified to continue their barbarity. Let’s leave the “Rest In Peace” idiocy to our Christian friends. We are the “Eye for an eye” crowd. Since Israeli leadership is too craven to defy world opinion overtly, find the murderers and covertly set them on fire. Make sure the Palis learn about it and impress upon them that next time the barbecue will include many more guests.
“Rest In Peace”? I hate that mindless cliche. How are the children of the these murdered Jews supposed to “rest in peace”? How are the living supposed to “rest in peace” when genocidal scum are lurking?
No, the answer is to make the Palis “rest in peace”.
May the victims rest in peace. This is a horrible, horrible thing. It should not have happened.
Now on to a counter-productive reaction which will help no one.
You take pride in barbarian behavior?!
Some say the quote may be suspect, but AISH takes it seriously.
The point remains. You earnestness to be a barbarian will identified with your chief historical enemy. You should think before you write such nonsense.
You give ammunition to the Arabists.
Very important to cut off all supplies of toilet paper. Arabs have big issues about body waste.
Major theological issues revolve around Wudu (purity) laws.
Cutting off toilet paper will shut down the charade.
Another thing … stop referring to it as Al Aqsa. Mohammed never visited the Mosque, which built only after his death.
Call it the Southern Mosque as it is on the southern wall, nothing more.
Any historical or religious claims can be proven false from Mohammedan records. Therefore, it should be treated only as a property issue subject to eminent domain. Jordan should be apprised that an agreements based on false religious claims are now void.
Shut it down UNTIL the violence stops.
This may amaze many here who falsely accuse me of being anti-Israel.
This chiefly has to do with the Temple Mount/Southern Mosque dispute.
I see this as a simple property claim, not a sovereignty issue.
1) Mohammed, by their records, died in 632 AD.
2) Arab armies did not reach Jerusalem until 636 AD and enter in until 637 AD.
3) Hence there was not mosque in Jerusalem for Mohammed to visit in his lifetime.
4) Hence the Mosque on the south wall should be called Southern Mosque not Al Aqsa (the Furthest).
It follows therefore that Israel can treat this as a property issue. SInce Mohammed never visited the compound the Arabs have no legitimate spiritual claim. Only ownership of a Waqf building, based on ahistorical claims, is in question. The Arabs may have a claim on property, but their historical claims have no standing any more. As it devolves from historical to merely property rights, eminent domain can be used.
Simply deny access to the Southern Mosque altogether until the Arabs calm down while simultaneously allowing Jews to do their daily stroll.
Basically shut it down. Not merely cut off the men, but the women, the kids, etc. Shut off power, electricit, water. If the Waqf mullahs will not leave, do not allow in food, toilet paper, drinks.
Make the policy public.
Syria – and suicide bombing – prove that they fight even when they have nothing to gain.
The Israeli government refuses to bring in the death penalty and revive deportation.
Arabs will cease and desist only if they have nothing to gain from their efforts.
The current timid measures are insufficient to stop what appears to be a new intifada.

Time to start killing the families of the murderers.
Kill the mother and the father.
They are responsible for bringing up these monsters.
Let the world scream.
Tell them: “Yes, we are barbarians.
If you don’t like living with us, get out and live with your civilized friends…”
