A Sense of Proportion is Called For

An anonymous (Stern?) senior IDF source proclaimed:

that the behavior and actions of extremist Jewish groups operating in Samaria pose a far greater threat than terror actions to the people of Israel. If left unchecked, the problem will continue to increase, he said, and turn into a matter of national concern.

In an unprecedented statement that revealed frustration at the failure of security forces to nab those responsible for destroying Palestinian olive trees in the West Bank, the officer likened the actions of the extremists to "a volcano waiting to erupt."


Hey, can we get a better sense of proportion here?

Terror kills, maims, wounds.

The IDF still has all the guns as do the police. The threat posed by rambunctious and unruly kids cannot compare to suicide bombers and other Hamas, Jihad and Fatah operatives.

This officer is the real threat to Israel's society and democratic fabric.
