	Orr report

		After the October 2000 riots, Barak appointed a state inquiry commission headed by Supreme Court Justice Theodor Orr to probe the events.

	The Head Heeb: A failure of self-correction
		I have no interest in defending what the Arabs did during the October 2000 riots, which was inexcusable, and I also recognize that the police action has to be put in its context.
		That happens in riot control, particularly when the cops on the ground are distinctively outnumbered, surrounding by screaming mobs baying for their blood, and have no likelihood of substantial reinforcements anytime soon because the same thing is happening across a large piece of the country.
		The urban riots in the United States during the 1960s had a political context; the rioters were pissed off by racism, inequality, police brutality, governmental indifference and a whole host of other frustrations.

		The 2000 shootings took place during a weeklong wave of rioting that swept Arab regions of Israel immediately after the outbreak of Palestinian violence in the territories, now known as the intifada.
		The Or Commission, while noting the extreme violence of the October 2000 riots, concluded that police did not face a clear and present danger to their lives and that the use of live fire appeared unjustified.

		Before the October 2000 riots broke out, however, "there was no intelligence assessment or specific assessment that we were on the verge of something we never saw before," he said.
