(Jerusalem Post) Editorial - The incident on Saturday in which two Border Police officers shot and killed a terrorist as he made a move while he was lying on the ground has caused an uproar. Let's be clear: the victim is not the dead terrorist - who had served time as a security prisoner for incitement, and had boasted on social media of his intention to become a martyr. He had intended to carry out an attack, stabbed Avraham Elmaliah, an innocent man whose only "crime" was being a Jew, and then tried to attack security forces. The Border Police officers shot the terrorist within seconds of the initial attack. It is worth remembering the fatal stabbing attack in Jerusalem's Baka neighborhood in 1990 when a Palestinian terrorist went on a murderous spree, killing three. Off-duty police officer Charley Chelouche shot at the terrorist's legs, but he was not fully neutralized and sprung back and killed Chelouche. This is what can happen when security forces do not shoot to kill.2021-12-06 00:00:00Full Article
Yes, Border Police Should Shoot When Necessary
