Israel Shows Some Signs Of Life

Israel is finally starting to take some action.

o 54 MKs in the Knesset have signed a petition in favor of Jews' right of purchase in Hebron.
o 150 Israeli citizens have initiated prosecution of the Wakf for destruction on the Temple Mount
o And now--Israel is holding the PA responsible for terrorism:

A bill approved by the Ministerial Committee on Legislation Sunday would allow Israel to claim compensation from the Palestinian Authority for damages caused by Qassam rockets fired at Israel. The money would be deducted from the tax payments collected by Israel on the PA's behalf.

..."Contrary to the agreements between the State of Israel and the Palestinian Authority, the Authority fails to meet its obligations," the bill states. "Not only does it nor fight terror, it even encourages it, supports it and sometimes executes it through its employees. It is inconceivable that the State of Israel should shoulder the costs of the Qassam fire, which the Palestinian Authority is responsible for."

The question is whether any of this will successfully lead to anything.
