Zidan Gave His Life To Save People He Didn't Know'-Prime Minister pens condolence letter to family of Druze officer who died in Har Nof attack, praises 'values of giving and sacrifice.'By Hezki Ezra, Tova Dvorin-First Publish: 11/19/2014, 9:20 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke Wednesday evening with Sheikh Nuhad Seif, the father of Sergeant Major Zidan Seif (30), who was shot in a firefight with terrorists as he heroically intervened to stop the massacre at the Kehillat Yaakov synagogue in Har Nof Tuesday."Your son's courageous actions prevented the terrorists from killing many more victims," Netanyahu stated. "On behalf of the citizens of Israel, I wish to express condolences over his death while fulfilling his mission."Netanyahu also addressed an official condolence letter to Seif's family."I heard with deep shock about the murder of the late Sergeant Major Zidan by terrorists," Netanyahu wrote. "Zidan gave his life to save innocent civilians from terror unseen before.""His actions are a testament to his courage, resourcefulness and above all humanity and love of life," the Prime Minister continued. "Zidan was called to the scene at random, but when the Israel Police and his job called for him to help others in need, he did so without hesitation, he stood against the violence, he charged fearlessly at the terrorists, and thus saved innocent bystanders by giving his life.""To the dear Seif family, I'm sure you raised Zidan on values of sacrifice and giving in your home," he added. "Precisely at this time you have to raise your heads proudly, knowing that the death of your son was not in vain. Thanks to him, there were many citizens who continue to live their lives. In his merit, Israeli society is good and just. And in his merit, we will continue protect the country and its people, knowing that justice resides among us."Netanyahu also addressed Zidan's wife, Rinel."Dear Rinel, I wish to hold your hand at this difficult time. Along with Zidan, you established a fine Israeli family. Just three months ago you gave birth to your eldest daughter, Larin. You had planned to expand your family, to progress, to evolve and always contribute to society and the state.""The fall of Zidan is a great loss to us all," he concluded. "We are commanded to cherish his memory, and to teach his legacy for future generations. Please accept my sincere condolences. May you know no more sorrow. Mourning with you, Binyamin Netanyahu."Zidan was buried in his home town of Yanuh-Jat on Wednesday, in the presence of several Israeli, Jewish, and Druze public officials.

Opposition Leader, MK Yitzhak Herzog (Labor) came to lunch at Congregation Bnai Torah Synagogue in Har Nof in Jerusalem - the site of Tuesday's bloody terror attack."I come here as a citizen and as a leader to express heartfelt shock as a Jew. The picture of a bullet in the Ark is difficult and heartbreaking. We have come to identify ourselves, to cry and to comfort," Herzog said, adding, "I appreciate the restraint of the hareidi community who continue to study Torah."In response to Arutz Sheva's question if as opposition chairman, he will support the government at this time, Herzog replied, "in the struggle against terrorism we will always give the government back-up; I would expect the same if the situation were reversed.""But ultimately, I believe there should be another way. The current path is failing. We should be bold and extend a hand [for dialogue] on the one side, but hit the terrorist enemy, on the other."Meanwhile, the political-security cabinet convened to discuss the security situation following Tuesday's attack. Jerusalem police placed concrete barriers at the entrance to the Palestinian neighborhood Sur Baher, on the southeastern outskirts of Jerusalem. Border Police officers are checking all vehicles leaving the neighborhood.No checkpoints existed at the entrance to the Jabel Mukabar neighborhood - home of the two perpetrators of the synagogue massacre. The entrances of Abu Tor, Beit Hanina, and Issawiya saw no checkpoints either, but in some places security vehicles were stationed.The Palestinian news agency Ma'an reported that the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist group took responsibility for the synagogue attack, claiming the assailants, cousins Uday and Rassan Abu Jamal, as its members."We are proud of them and consider their actions a natural response to the crimes of the occupation. We stress that armed resistance will continue and that an intifada is imminent without any doubt," the organization said in a statement.
Victim's Testimony: Terrorist Tried to Cut My Face-Yeshayahu Horowitz, severely wounded in Alon Shvut stabbing attack, recalls moments of terror.By Uzi Baruch, Cynthia Blank-First Publish: 11/19/2014, 5:12 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
Professor Avi Rifkind, head of the Trauma and Emergency Medicine Department in Hadassah Hospital, visited Wednesday with Yeshayahu Horowitz - one of the men badly wounded in the stabbing attack at Alon Shvut Junction.Horowitz served as a medic during his compulsory military service. His medical condition has improved in the past few days.Dahlia Lemkos, 26, a resident of Tekoa was murdered in the terror attack, while another man was lightly wounded. He was brought to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem with superficial stab wounds to his face. The attack began when a terrorist driving a car with Israeli plates attempted to run down people waiting at a hitchhiking stand at Alon Shvut Junction in Gush Etzion. When that failed, he got out and started stabbing people.The incident took place just hours after a stabbing attack in Tel Aviv, in which an illegal Palestinian worker attacked a soldier out of the Hahaganah Train Station. The soldier was critically injured in the attack and later died of his wounds.Professor Rifkind was the one performed surgery on Horowitz when he first arrived at Hadassah University Hospital with multiple stab wounds 9 days ago."When I saw a woman lying on the road, I stopped the car and wanted to get help. I thought it was an accident," Horowitz explained."I then realized it was a terrorist and I ran to him. We started to struggle and as I reached to grab the blade, he tried to cut my face. We fell to the ground, but I managed to hold onto the knife. At the same moment people with guns arrived and I shouted to them in Hebrew, so they'd know I was not the terrorist. I shouted to them: 'Take him!'"The terrorist, Maher Hamdi al-Hashalmoun, was also injured in the attack. He was shot by the security guard of the Alon Shvut community. al-Hashalmoun was brought to Hadassah Hospital in serious condition.Al-Hashalmoun, 30, is a resident of Hevron affiliated with Islamic Jihad. He was imprisoned in an Israeli jail for four and a half years from 2000-2005 for throwing a firebomb at an IDF patrol officer.

New Bill to Revoke Residency Status of Terrorists-MKs Shaked and Tzur draft new bill giving Minister of Interior authority to revoke permanent resident status of convicted terrorists.By Ido Ben Porat, Cynthia Blank-First Publish: 11/19/2014, 7:13 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
Together, MK Ayelet Shaked (Jewish Home) and MK David Tzur (Hatnua) have drafted a bill calling for the revocation of residency status for convicted terrorists.Palestinian Arabs living in eastern Jerusalem or the Golan Heights - over the 1949 Armistice lines - who denied the offer for citizenship, are considered permanent residents under Israeli law. They have the right to apply for citizenship, are entitled to municipal services and benefits, and have municipal voting rights.This bill seeks to allow revoking the residency of those convicted of terrorism as defined in the Prohibition on Terrorist Financing Law. It was filed in light of Israel's current security situation. Many permanent residents of the State have been involved in attacks and acts of terrorism.While the Minister of Interior is currently able to revoke the citizenship of a person involved in terrorist activities, the same action or punishment does not yet apply for residents convicted of the exact same offenses."The lacuna in the existing law effectively creates a situation in which a citizen engaged in terror know his citizenship can be revoked and many rights confiscated from him, but a permanent resident in Israel knows that he has nothing lose, because there is this loophole," Shaked and Tzur's bill states.The bill would provide the Minister of Interior with the authority to revoke the permanent residency permits of people convicted of: terrorist crimes, violations against the sovereignty of the state, aiding an enemy during war, instigating war, serving in enemy armed forces, espionage and disclosing confidential information.The explanatory notes to the bill state that "the repair to the law is necessary both from a security standpoint and morally.""From a perspective of defense, we must limit the length of their stay in Israel as well as their possibility of movement within the country. And morally, it is inconceivable that a terrorist convicted of such serious harm to this country should benefit from the many rights Israel provides to all its residents.""In recent weeks we have exposed to cruel and horrible acts of terrorism, many at the hands of residents of eastern Jerusalem. These terrorists fall under the definition of 'residents.' This law will stand as another level of deterrence for these horrible terrorists. Not only will their houses be demolished physically, but their existential and residential status will also be destroyed," Shaked stated."Anyone who acts against the state and its citizens should and will receive a red card."

The Jerusalem municipality has approved the construction of 78 new homes for Jews in Jerusalem, AFP reports Wednesday. Municipal spokeswoman Brachie Sprung said 50 homes will be built in Har Homa and 28 in Ramot.This is the latest announcement of building tenders approval announcements. Over the past several weeks, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu gave instructions for the building of about 660 homes in Ramat Shlomo and about 400 more in Har Homa as well as approving 2,610 building tenders from 2012 to be approved for full construction.The Jerusalem municipality approved 200 additional homes last week.The announcement is sure to spark strong reactions from leftist groups (i.e.Peace Now), the US, and the European Union - all of which have condemned and threatened Israel repeatedly over the past several weeks for building homes for Jewish residents in the capital of the Jewish state.In response, Jerusalem has stepped up its own defense of Jewish building in the capital, with Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman stressing Sunday that Israel 'will never accept' the labels the international community has ascribed to the building project."One thing should be clear: we will never accept the definition of building in Jewish neighborhoods of Jerusalem as settlement activity," Liberman said Sunday. "We won't accept any limitation on building in Jewish areas of (east) Jerusalem.""We do not accept any restrictions on construction in Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem and there will be no compromise about it," he continued. "Anyone who thinks that the Israeli government is about to give in and limit construction in Jerusalem is wrong, we will defend our independence and sovereignty."
Left Outraged as Ashkelon Mayor Nixes Arab Employees-Amid security concerns, Askelon mayor Itamar Shimoni asks that Arab employees temporarily stop working in schools. Leftists angry.-By Yishai Karov and Ido Ben Porat-First Publish: 11/20/2014, 12:13 AM-ISR NATIONAL NEWS
Ashkelon mayor Itamar Shimoni raised the ire of leftists on Wednesday after he ordered to temporarily stop the employment of Arab construction workers who are tasked with building protected spaces in educational institutions in the city.Shimoni cited security concerns for his decision, amid continued tensions, particularly in Jerusalem, and the series of recent terrorist attacks, including Tuesday’s brutal attack in a Jerusalem synagogue.The mayor explained that the increased presence of Arab workers in close proximity to educational institutions is potentially harmful to residents' security, and therefore their employment will stop until the tense security situation improves.The contractor which performs the work in the schools in the city is employed by the Defense Ministry, and it should be noted that the work carried out in Ashkelon is done by Israeli Arabs and not by Arabs living in Judea and Samaria.The decision angered Meretz MK Issawi Frej, who accused Shimoni of "racism of the lowest kind.”“Under the poor excuse of a 'sense of security', Shimoni wishes to make the city of Ashkelon clean of Arabs and contaminate it with anti-Semitic racism,” charged Frej. “I call on Interior Minister Gilad Erdan and on the Chairman of the Local Government Center, Haim Bibas, to publicly condemn Shimoni and ask him to reconsider his decision with all its consequences."The decision was also condemned by the President of the Israel Democracy Institute, former Kadima MK Yohanan Plesner."This is a dangerous decision that is contrary to democratic principles and to the laws of the State of Israel, which forbid discrimination for any reason," Plesner said, adding, "We must not allow Arab terrorism to undermine the foundations of our life together here.""Even in difficult times we have to make sure to maintain the spirit of democracy and equality in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence," he said.MK Nachman Shai (Labor) attacked Shimoni as well and said that his decision was "illegal and has a black flag flying over it, and it is appropriate that is cancelled immediately.""The fabric of relations between Jews and Arabs is now under scrutiny, and leaders are commanded to preserve it and not rip it apart in such a way that will not be possible to rehabilitate,” said Shai.MK Ofer Shelah (Yesh Atid) issued a statement of condemnation as well.“The directive of the mayor of Ashkelon to stop the employment of Arab workers in the city in order 'to increase the sense of security for citizens' is a serious mistake,” he said.“It is particularly important now, when there are winds of storm and when the fragile fabric of coexistence in Israel is in danger, that public representatives show leadership, and lower the flames rather than stoke them. Staining an entire community of citizens and marking them as potentially dangerous threatens to tear society apart. I urge the mayor to retract his statement,” added Shelah.

Left Outraged as Ashkelon Mayor Nixes Arab Employees-Amid security concerns, Askelon mayor Itamar Shimoni asks that Arab employees temporarily stop working in schools. Leftists angry.-By Yishai Karov and Ido Ben Porat-First Publish: 11/20/2014, 12:13 AM-ISR NATIONAL NEWS
Ashkelon mayor Itamar Shimoni raised the ire of leftists on Wednesday after he ordered to temporarily stop the employment of Arab construction workers who are tasked with building protected spaces in educational institutions in the city.Shimoni cited security concerns for his decision, amid continued tensions, particularly in Jerusalem, and the series of recent terrorist attacks, including Tuesday’s brutal attack in a Jerusalem synagogue.The mayor explained that the increased presence of Arab workers in close proximity to educational institutions is potentially harmful to residents' security, and therefore their employment will stop until the tense security situation improves.The contractor which performs the work in the schools in the city is employed by the Defense Ministry, and it should be noted that the work carried out in Ashkelon is done by Israeli Arabs and not by Arabs living in Judea and Samaria.The decision angered Meretz MK Issawi Frej, who accused Shimoni of "racism of the lowest kind.”“Under the poor excuse of a 'sense of security', Shimoni wishes to make the city of Ashkelon clean of Arabs and contaminate it with anti-Semitic racism,” charged Frej. “I call on Interior Minister Gilad Erdan and on the Chairman of the Local Government Center, Haim Bibas, to publicly condemn Shimoni and ask him to reconsider his decision with all its consequences."The decision was also condemned by the President of the Israel Democracy Institute, former Kadima MK Yohanan Plesner."This is a dangerous decision that is contrary to democratic principles and to the laws of the State of Israel, which forbid discrimination for any reason," Plesner said, adding, "We must not allow Arab terrorism to undermine the foundations of our life together here.""Even in difficult times we have to make sure to maintain the spirit of democracy and equality in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence," he said.MK Nachman Shai (Labor) attacked Shimoni as well and said that his decision was "illegal and has a black flag flying over it, and it is appropriate that is cancelled immediately.""The fabric of relations between Jews and Arabs is now under scrutiny, and leaders are commanded to preserve it and not rip it apart in such a way that will not be possible to rehabilitate,” said Shai.MK Ofer Shelah (Yesh Atid) issued a statement of condemnation as well.“The directive of the mayor of Ashkelon to stop the employment of Arab workers in the city in order 'to increase the sense of security for citizens' is a serious mistake,” he said.“It is particularly important now, when there are winds of storm and when the fragile fabric of coexistence in Israel is in danger, that public representatives show leadership, and lower the flames rather than stoke them. Staining an entire community of citizens and marking them as potentially dangerous threatens to tear society apart. I urge the mayor to retract his statement,” added Shelah.
