  1. It's all a show. At a construction conference in Eilat a year ago, they asked by a show of hands which contractor does not pay extortionate maintenance fees - not a single contractor raised his hand, which means they all admitted that they do. It was in the presence of lawyers from the war units in Protection.
    Without an administrative reform to change the system of the regime in Israel and a legal reform to change punishment and increase enforcement, there is no chance for the police and the prosecutor's office to eradicate the gangs and protectionism. The situation was deteriorating even before the war, dozens were eliminated, arson - and returned during the war.
    No one will be able to live in a country where the courts release criminals and criminals wholesale and without deterrence - we saw where this led six months ago.

  2. Well done, dear policemen, thanks to Shabtai the commissioner, and to Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. Believe me, without both of them they wouldn't catch on. All the contractors in the past would come to the police complaining and the police did nothing against them. The other commissioners were afraid of them, admit it!
