  1. The government can do more. Where is the security for Israel’s citizens. This can not continue for one more second. Declare martial law, flood cities and towns with police and soldiers and shoot to kill. Set up metal detectors both fixed and floating and search suspicious individuals and groups, in other words MOBILIZE NOW, and expel entire families of assailants after blowing up their homes. Take everything they own including pensions and wages and any real property to be given to attack victims or their families. End all benefits including education and welfare.
