There have only been three patterns of attacks by
Jewish terror groups so far. The first pattern is
the targeting of those with direct or indirect
responsibility for the murder of Jews - the
terrorists who attacked Arab mayors in 1980. The
second is carrying out attacks against Arabs,
because of a belief that such attacks will advance
and accelerate the coming of the Messiah and the
redemption process - the plans to blow up the Dome
of Rock. The third model is carried out by
terrorists convinced that revenge is a halakhic
obligation, or that such attacks will deter Arab
terrorists.


The current model of attack will
be evident when all the
suspicions against the people
detained for allegedly hurting
Arabs are published. It is
likely that the main motive
behind the attacks is revenge
or deterrence.

The biographies of some of the
detainees, however, show that they may have
regarded their actions as a halakhic
obligation, and maybe even consulted with
people they regarded as spiritual authorities.

There have been several attacks in the past in
which Arabs had been murdered by people whose
relatives were murdered by terrorists. Daniel
Moreli from Ashkelon was convicted of murdering
Riad Hassan Salamiyah on the Kiryat Gat-Hebron
road in 1995. A year earlier, Moreli's brother,
a former Border Police officer, was killed
after his car collided with the vehicle
Salamiyah was driving. Moreli was convinced the
crash was a targeted attack.

In October 1984 David Ben-Shimol fired a LAU
missile at an Arab bus in Jerusalem, after his
friend was killed in a terror attack carried
out by Palestinians on bus number 18 in the
capital.

Aryeh Chelouche was sentenced to seven years in
jail in April 1991 after he was convicted of an
attempt to murder Arabs. His brother, policeman
Charlie Chelouche, was murdered several months
earlier.

The terror attack carried out by several youths
from the outlawed Kach movement in the
Butchers' Market in the Old City of Jerusalem
in November 1992, as well as the attack in the
Islamic College in Hebron in the 1980's, are
examples of attacks in which the perpetrators
believed that deterrence was a necessity,
because of the authorities' powerlessness.

There were terror attacks in the past that were
given a religious significance. In pamphlets
distributed in recent years in synagogues (not
necessarily in the settlements) rabbis
published articles that gave revenge a
religious meaning.

Some of them said that not only the state should
carry out the revenge. Kabbalist elements,
originating in the Jewish occult, were
sometimes combined in their perception of
revenge, and were hinted in the pamphlets.

There are kabbalists even among the settlers,
and there are those who have spoken about
revenge in the past. Is there a connection
between the detainees and those figures? There
is no answer to this question yet.

The identities of the detained men, if indeed
the suspicions against them are substantiated,
pull the rug out from under the assumption that
known organizations, which allegedly claimed
responsibility for the attacks, such as the
"Committee for Safety on Roads", are indeed
behind attacks against Arabs in recent years.

It turns out that these organizations were only
a front for new organizations of previously
unknown activists, who decided to use the
better known 'brands' in an attempt to cover up
their actions.
