T. Belman. These are all stop gap measures. What about fundamental change. Lift building freeze and build. Legislate death penalty for convicted terrorists. Penalize the PA for its support of terror. Refuse to give them money or electricity until they withdraw support of terrorism and terrorists. Incarcerate people for incitement.Stop supporting the status quo on the Temple Mount. If we can’t go there and pray, they can’t go there and pray. And so on.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu sought to impose tougher measures against terrorists late Monday night, in a late-night emergency Cabinet meeting held in light of an escalation in terror.
During the meeting, Netanyahu assigned Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked (Jewish Home) to establish a mechanism which would significantly shorten the legal process to allow the State of Israel to demolish terrorists’ homes.
Security reinforcements throughout Judea and Samaria (Shomron) and Jerusalem will continue as needed, with several hundred more officers slated to be added to patrols. Thousands of police and reservists have already been called up to help secure both areas since the High Holidays began earlier this month.
Israel Police forces are expected to enter Arab neighborhoods of Jerusalem over the next several days as well, to crack down on violence and bring calm to the capital.
Netanyahu also ordered the construction of new roads in Judea-Samaria which would bypass the Palestinian Authority (PA) to prevent more roadside attacks on Israeli Jews in the region.
The Prime Minister ordered administrative detention orders to be levied against rioters as well, and demanded stronger action against officials who inciteviolence – a demand possibly aimed at Arab MKs who have been actively promoting chaos.
In addition, he ordered charges to be brought against Israeli citizens who witnessed the stabbing attacks on Rabbi Nehemia Lavi and Aharon Banita-Bennett and his family on Saturday, and who beat and ridiculed Banita’s wife as she lay wounded in the Old City streets.
“We will not accept a Jewish state where a woman is stabbed and people refuse to assist her, and curse her and kick her,” he fired. “We will bring them to justice.”
Netanyahu concluded by announcing the swift adoption of minimum sentencesand fines for minors who throw rocks and firebombs. Charges will be brought against their parents as well.
“Tonight we confirmed strong action against terrorism and measures to be brought on a variety of fronts,” Netanyahu said. “We will continue to do so as long as necessary – and to be clear: we will defeat terrorism as we have done so in the past.”
Come on Ted, be real, you expect the ultimate wimp, the internationally acclaimed liar to act like a man? Really, I’m surprised at you.
deport rock-throwers to gaza, regardless of their ages
when someone comes to kill you, kill them first. forget about the arrests and other band aids. Shoot to kill!

This shows why it is always easier for a politician or others to criticize a Prime Minister of Israel when not sitting in his chair. The solutions seem easier from afar than they actually are.
The real BB, Yaalon, Rivlin solution to muslim abuse, terror and incitement towards Jews?????
Here’s a new ROE adjustment for you……..any Arab with a rock (concrete block, molotov cocktail, etc) and hand raised can be shot to kill….period.
Along with the announcement of said change, we declare the Temple Mount is back under our jurisdiction, with access to all.
Don’t like that Mr Hashemite King? Start a war. Israeli sovereignty throughout our capitol city…..is back.
Just dreaming….I know.
@ rongrand:
Are you able to provide enough Catholics (that’s the least they could do) to get the job done so no Jew has to be in harms way?
@ rongrand:
Would this include Ted? He is not religious. What about Bear Klein? He isn’t religious either.
Deportation.
Time to remove Hamas (proxy of Iran) top to bottom from Gaza and retake Gaza, the staging area for the terrorist.
Measures listed in my comment above #4. Will these measures be enough is the question? In the long run NO more than likely.
In the long run we will need more building of Judah/Samaria, somehow ridding ourselves of all terrorists and supporters this includes the Islamic extremists who are Israeli citizens. A lot to do.
Can we find a leadership group who the people will vote into office on the basis of doing the hard and internationally unpopular deportation of Pal terror leaders we must undertake? Who are these leaders?
…unless the Muzzies object, in which case the haplessly submissive Netanyahu will resume his previous position that bears an appalling resemblance to the position generally associated with Monica Lewinsky.
Time for Israelis to stick by their faith in G-d and not allow the secular progressives to control your lives.
Remember G-d led His people to this Holy Land and He is there with you.
Begin by removing the knuckleheads from the Temple Mount, the place where Jews should be allowed to pray.
Our prayers go out to Israel and her people and the courageous men and women of the IDF.

Can anyone tell me what does it take for Jews to GET IT?
Netanyahu is never going to DESTROY his “partners”, those being the same as the ones that Rabin-Peres and the rest of the renegades imported and set up here.
The MIME Minister will feign, lie, delay, undermine, betray the Jews, not the enemy.
I would not be surprised if the “harsh new measures” were cleared by Hussein Obama and Abbas before the cabinet meeting.
