Unfortunately Bet Shemesh police are ill-equipped to follow up on any active criminal reports. My friend was in such an incident, and their attempt to locate the Arabs was just comical.
ReplyDeleteThere's been a rash of gang thefts in Ramat Beit Shemesh occurring on Shabbos. In the past 3 weeks 8 different schools were hit, stripped of all computers, copying machines, cash, power tools, and pets! (Two schools had a couple goats and sheep, which were stolen.)
ReplyDeletePolice response has been "sorry, no resources to patrol or respond to theft", though they have the resources for ticket barrages on a multiple-times-per week basis.
Also note last year around this same time there were also a few female hikers lost and later found murdered in the Beit Shemesh hills.
They patrol plenty they just don't get involved.
ReplyDeleteThere is info on the identity, American tourist, also het name, Christine something... Police also checking if any criminal background, also listened to police interview on reshet bet, seems that they know more also progress in investigation and background, but won't say anything, was deputy j'lem area police head on air.
ReplyDeleteChristine Logan is her name, so not Israeli and probably not Jewish either, so if it's terrorism and she was kidnapped, then it's Obama's problem if he cares, he doesn't.
ReplyDeleteseems that ms logan was from the uk, and anon's comments are indefensible
ReplyDeletefrom what I heard she was from the states actually..
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen anything about this in the NY Times or any other U.S. paper...am I missing something, or does the U.S. media just not care when citizens are murdered in terrorist attacks?
