JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Tal Rahamim is a resident of the Shimon Hatzadik neighborhood in Jerusalem, located just a few yards away from the Police Headquarters. However police apparently have not got round to patrolling even the neighborhood adjacent to their headquarters because Tal has been hit by vandalism on three consecutive occasions during the past three months. During the May riots Tal’s car was torched by local Arabs, needless to say that police did not lay hands on the perpetrators. Previously his car had also been set alight by Arabs and last Saturday night he once again fell victim to car arson.

Despite the fact that the media is not reporting the vandalism by Arabs against Jews in the neighborhood, the vandalism continues unabated with Jewish property being targeted almost daily by Arab vandals. Thus, knowing that neither the media nor the police will do anything to help the local Jewish residents, the Arabs feel emboldened to continue their attacks on Jewish property.
תיעוד משייח ג'ראח: מוצאי שבת, שני צעירים ערבים מגיעים לרכב של טל מנפצים את החלון מציתים לו את הרכב ונמלטים, זו הפעם השלישית בתוך חצי שנה שהרכב שלו מוצת בגלל שהוא יהודי pic.twitter.com/30mbq6Id4w

Footage of torching of Tal Rahamim’s car
Rahamim told Kikar Hashabat that this is an “unfathomable failure. I don’t live in a far-off place, I live in the center of Jerusalem, opposite the offices of the National Insurance Institute and meters from road 1, the central road crossing Jerusalem from north to south.
“The Arabs are not afraid. There’s no other explanation for why they dare to burn cars when everything here is documented on cameras. Thank G-d we were not hurt physically but our property was certainly damaged.
Rahamim says that “there’s no insurance company now willing to insure my car and my kids are quaking with fear. Does the state of Israel intend to maintain its governance in Jerusalem?”
First, may Hashem help him and his family.
He wrote:
“Does the state of Israel intend to maintain its governance in Jerusalem?”
That question is flawed because it incorrectly presupposes that the State of Israel is a government.
The Chazon Ish noted that the State of Israel is not a government but a band of thugs.
These israeli Jews can easily knock out Arab car windows. Then you will have police swarming the area. Take a BB gun and shoot out their windows. It’s easy and makes no noise. For every jewish car damaged do 100 Arab ones. Yes it will bring tension but how will you get police to protect you unless you vote for ben Gevir and his party. Or you can find the culprits and plaster their picture all around town and social media. Enough Arab cars get hit the Arabs themselves will stop these culprits. Israel is a dangerous place to live due to this lefty secular anti religious gvmnt. Glad to be living in Boro park. Land of the free.
There are many “Arab neighborhoods” throughout “greater Israel”, especially over the “Green Line”, regardless of Zionist fantasies of Jerusalem being their Capital. This one is known to the rest of the world as Sheikh Jarrah, which seems at this point to be a de facto Arab neighborhood even if that demographic is not historical but only a result of Zionist wars with the Jordanians and other Arabs. The end result is that the area is “Arab”.
So, even if the Zionists have police in that area, that doesn’t mean that the area is necessarily suitable and safe for Jews. We have seen other stories on here about that area about gunfights against Arabs and the like. Doesn’t seem like a suitable place for a Jew to live.
