Jerusalem – Israel’s prime minister has ordered authorities to destroy the homes of the attackers who killed four people in a Jerusalem synagogue.

Benjamin Netanyahu also ordered the demolition of homes of Palestinians involved in other recent deadly attacks.
Netanyahu announced the directive Tuesday after a meeting with top security officials. He did not say when the demolitions would take place.
Israel halted its much-maligned practice of home demolitions in 2005 after officials determined it was not an effective deterrent. But they have had a change of heart recently and begun to renew the tactic in certain cases.
Netanyahu was scheduled to hold a televised news conference later Tuesday.
This is a pathetically lame response to such carnage from the savages ! Bibi, get tough once and for all and stop worrying about getting obama and ban ki moon and the EU angry!!! Your duty is to protect your citizens, not coddle the terrorists with these silly punishments!
that is not enough,as they are heroes and they will find other housing and kill more Israelis
the entire district should be destroyed where these savages lived.
Get ready for the world outcry about “how dare Israel do this inhumane act of destroying homes? Total silence though about the terror attack that preceded it,
Why do they always show the perpetrators’s relatives holding the evil photos? It makes them seem like victims…

Unfortunately, Rabbi Mayer Kahana was right.
All the Palestinians are partners in these murderous acts by celebrating and encouraging it. Therefore, they should all be extradited from the state of Israel. If no one wants to take them in their country. Just pushed them into the sea. Don’t care what the world will say. All countries of the world would do the same thing.
Why is the United States allowed to bomb and kill ISIS when Israel is being held back from doing what the US would do to terrorists like the Palestinians?
Too little too late
Ask yourself what Saudi Arabia or syria would do to the jewish village or town if Jews butchered Arabs in a mousque in their country.

Their families receive monthly death benefits from abu mazen as compensation
I dont get point. Israel needs to do more. For them its all worth it because their son is a martyr. I suggest that they start burying all terrorists with a pig head. Make sure all news media report it. They we get rid of the incentive and have bigger bargaining chips.
Presumably destroying their homes (their parent’s homes) is to serve as a deterrent to others who might be considering following their example. It might conceivably have an opposite effect since within their culture this extends the mantle of martyrdom to the rest of the family who are still alive to bask in the glory.
I wish I had a good alternative to propose but I don’t. Their values of hate rather than love are so different from mine (ours) that I don’t even know where to start. Sinat chinam is their ideal and they exemplify it.
Maybe there is no solution except to go on killing. Build a better killing machine and the world will beat a path to your door.
