Olmert: Isolating Arab neighborhoods the only way to prevent attacks by Jerusalem Arabs

By HERB KEINON
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert intimated Wednesday on a tour of the north that only by separating the Arab neighborhoods of Jerusalem from the rest of the city would it be possible to prevent the type of attack that took place in the capital Monday night. Olmert said that he had warned last week in the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, and in the cabinet, that in a city with 270,000 Arab residents who can move freely, "They don't need tractors or bulldozers [to carry out attacks], all they need is a regular car." Olmert said that no security agency in the world could guard against a man who went to bed at night, "was visited by Allah, and the next day woke up with a mission to kill Jews. He gets in his car, which looks like any other car, sees a gathering of people and drives into them. "Everyone who speaks in lofty and inflated slogans about Jerusalem needs to know there is no regular way to prevent this phenomena, unless at the end of the day you say to the Arabs in the Arab neighborhoods, you will live in your neighborhoods, and won't come into ours," Olmert said. "We have to remember that."
