One of the big questions surrounding the violence in Bnei Braq last night with the bus going up in flames is why it took nearly an hour for the fire station to respond and arrive on scene?
According to Kan News, the initial investigation has found that there was an order at that time to not respond to calls in Bnei Braq because of everything that had happened and the escalation of violence. They were instructed to wait until they would have police escort.
It is not really the boy that cried wolf, but like that boy they did it to themselves. Some people created a situation of violence and security forces felt it was dangerous and risky to go in and provide service in that area. When a real situation required their services, they already had a policy to not enter the danger zone.
I don't know if the policy was justified or not or if someone needs to be held responsible for it. But it existed because of the violence perpetrated by some people. And ultimately their own people suffered because of it.
