senseless violent crime is common in the south african hell.

israel is blessed in that intruders generally do not use violence during their criminal acts.

however,using violence against intruders (unless life is threatened) will encourage reciprocal violence ... spiralling into a `south african crime hell`.

also, which self-respecting jew would value material property more than the sactity of life itsself?

don`t let one israeli reality blur a completely different scenario:
remember to sharply differentiate between shooting at a terrorist/ invading force bent on murder as compared to shooting (murdering) a criminal intruder.
