2023 Sabbath Jerusalem Synagogue Massacre

[2023 East Jerusalem synagogue shooting / The shooting attack in Neve Yaakov]

victims

Jan 27, 2023. Islamist[1] Racist[2] Arab terrorist, Alkam Khairi [Alqam Khayri], [Kheiri, Kheiry] (علقم خيري),[3][4][5][6] of East Jerusalem, looking to kill Jews, murdered an elderly woman and when someone rushed to help her, the Arab murdered him too.


He awaited outside a synagogue in Neve Ya'akov ‘Ateret Avraham’: The murderous attack on Shabbat evening, in the Neve Yaakov neighborhood: around 8:00 p.m., the terrorist got out of a vehicle and opened fire on worshipers in a synagogue and passers-by.[6]


A couple hearing the shots, rushing, trying to help the wounded, were murdered too.[7][8]


Another murdered in the brutal attack is Asher Natan, a boy of only 14 who was on the street at the time of the attack.[9]


It was 'absolute carnage.'[10][11]


At least 7[12][13] were murdered in cold blood and others were seriously injured, including a boy and a woman about 60 years old.[14][15] After entering and attacking the people in the synagogue, the vicious Arab shooter started chasing after people who were trying to escape. "He then attempted to flee the scene by car and fired in the direction of Israel Police officers. The officers fired back and killed him."[6]

The murderer Alkam only stopped firing after his gun was jammed.[16]

As if Arab Islamic terrorists ever need a "reason," but Hamas took advantage of the timing and stated that: "The attack on a synagogue in Jerusalem is a response to the operation in Jenin."[17] But it did not offer a "reason" for the plot of big massacre that was thwarted in the Jenin operation.

Hours later, another coward Arab ambushed Jews behind a car shooting and injuring 2. Was subdued.[18][5]

Security camera footage shows the suspects who allegedly carried out a shooting attack at the Almog Junction in the West Bank, January 28, 2023

As is often after bloody massacres, the sick "appetite" for blood, only increases in the radical cult of the "Palestinians", and other attempted attacks followed afterwards. Such as two terrorists arriving by a car at a restaurant at Almog intersection, one opening fire and running,[19] miraculously[20] by the grace of God his gun jammed after firing one bullet (the pair was apprehended days later, as other armed terrorists were eliminated[21][22]), as well as a gunman intruder was eliminated at the entrance of Kdumim.[23]

The Islamist father from hell

The terrorist's father: "This is my joy, like his wedding." He claimed that Allah wanted him to be a "Shahid."[1]

Typical racist-Arab-Islamist sick joy

Dancing to the blood:

  • "Palestinian" cities celebrate Jerusalem massacre. Celebrations were held in the West Bank cities throughout the night to hail the Jerusalem terrorist attack. Palestinians praised the massacre with fireworks and sweets that were being distributed on the streets."[24] "Celebrations, including fireworks and guns being shot in the air, were witnessed in Jenin and other Arab towns throughout Israel in reaction to the incident."[6] In various Arab areas, in public, sweets were handed out too.[25][26][27]

"Allah Akbar" wafted from mosque loudspeakers.[28][29]


  • Also an "activist" at Ayman Odeh's party posted smiling in face of the massacre.[30]


  • Backstabbing, ungrateful: (a) two racist Arab students at Hadassah hailed the attacker, attack, with one quoting a Quran verse too.[31] (b) And an Arab student in Kiryat Ono Academic College mocking the bloody crime.[32]


  • In Herzliya two Arab assistants at the Kochav Yam municipal residence in Herzliya published words of praise to the massacre with Islamists themes. Upon dismissing them, it was explained that "Statements praising the murder of a Jew for being Jewish have no place in Israeli society, and certainly not in the education system."[33] Horror at Arab employees of day care:[34]
    Employees at the Kochav Yam daycare center in Herzliya shared words of joy on social media following the massacre at a Jerusalem synagogue on Friday night, praising the terrorist who carried out the attack. The employees shared images from the scene of the attack as well as celebrations from the Arab street, adding PLO flags and a finger emoji of the victory sign to their posts. Frightened parents came across the words of praise for the attack, and turned to the daycare administrators demanding action against the employees. The kindergarten administrators told the parents that the workers would no longer be welcome at the daycare and that they had been summoned for a hearing. One mother of a child at the daycare wrote to her friends in a private Facebook group: "Hey moms, after the terrorist incident yesterday in Jerusalem, two aides from my son's kindergarten put up a post supporting the attack. The administrators of the kindergarten sent us a message that the aides are summoned to a hearing and will no longer enter the kindergarten."


  • Al-Jazeera presenters, Journalists In Qatari Press, Qatar-Backed Muslim Clerics: Terrorist Attack: "'brave act' of 'legitimate resistance [sic],' its perpetrator is a 'hero.'"[35]


  • The International Union of Muslim Clerics (IUMS) member declared that the Jerusalem terrorist who killed seven civilians is a 'hero' and a 'role model'; and that the Quran explicitly calls to wage jihad for the sake of allah.[36]

"Moderates" sickening rationalization, etc.

Hours after the bloody massacre, the infamous "Palestinian " Mariam Barghouti[37] at the hate site Mondoweiss,[38][39] wrote this instead: "a day of protest and resistance across Palestine following ‘massacre’ [referring to the anti-Arab-terrorists operation - with the "m" word and where the Arabs plotted to and also attacked] in Jenin." She even Tweeted about this- phrasing it as so called "9 refugees," no less.

While the world, including various Arab nations, condemned the two attacks in Jerusalem, but the "Palestinian" Arab leader Abu Mazen avoided condemnation, blaming Israel instead.[40][5]

Abu Mazen's own Fatah openly praised the massacre.[41][42]

Bigoted Ayman Mohyeldin who works for MSNBC was slammed for his tweet, including:[43]
The desperation is just oozing here in a shameless attempt to draw a moral equivalency between Jews killed while worshiping and targeted killings of Hamas/Islamic Jihad. Killing civilians in a synagogue, on Shabbat, on Holocaust Memorial Day, will not in fact "free Palestine."

It's also closely related to the falsehood of the 'cycle of violence' - dehumanizing clichés.[44]

And:[45]

…Western politicians who went online to express horror over the slaughter in [just outside] the synagogue found themselves bombarded by ‘pro-Palestine’ people asking: ‘And what about the killings in Jenin?’ Some media outlets hinted at a moral equivalence, or at least a moral link, between the Jenin clash and the synagogue killings. In its report on the synagogue slaughter, the BBC said ‘tensions have been high since nine Palestinians – both militants and civilians – were killed during an Israeli military raid in Jenin’. Have we really lost the ability to morally differentiate between an armed confrontation between soldiers and militants and the mass murder of unarmed civilians in their place of worship? These are not the same thing. In any way.

Listen: when people are targeted in [coming out of] a synagogue, they are targeted because they are Jews. The slaughter on Holocaust Memorial Day was an act of racist barbarism, akin to the grim assaults on Christian churches in Sri Lanka or mosques in New Zealand. ‘Explaining’ the synagogue massacre as if it were a normal or even understandable expression of the broader tensions gripping the Middle East shows just how unhinged anti-Israel sentiment has become. It is shocking that this needs to be said, but nothing – not the events in Jenin, not Israel’s recent incursions into the West Bank and Gaza, not the Israeli settlements – makes the mass murder of Jews for being Jews a comprehensible thing.

The past week suggests that the anti-Israel fury of influential Westerners is no longer just strange and prejudiced – it’s dangerous. It seems increasingly clear to me that the reimagining of Israel-Palestine as a war between dark and light, between the world’s most (defamed as supposed) "wicked" state and the world’s most (supposed) victimised people, is helping to nurture new and ever-more crazed forms of violence in the region. After all, if you are (supposedly) "evil," then anything done against you can be justified, right?

So committed are some in the West to the narrative of Israeli evil and Palestinian good that they hold up Palestinians as the pitiable victims of massacres in the very week when it was Israelis, Jews in fact, who were the victims of a massacre. Their devotion to the ideology of Israel-hate clearly takes precedence over everything, even truth. That there has not been more moral and historical angst in the West over the massacre of praying Jews on Holocaust Memorial Day is abominable. It is a blot on the Western moral conscience. It tells us more about us than we would care to know.


One of the worse in blaming-the-victim was infamous anti-Israel hack Patrick Kingsley in his NYT garbage piece.[46] Even implying as if racist-Arab Islamic-bigots care what government is current in Israel, conservative or not.

In white washing the horrific hatecrime Massacre: 'Insane,' 'Reprehensible,' ‘Complicit’: New York Times Excuse-Making for Jerusalem Terrorists was condemned. It typified what it means when it's being said that the media is complicit in the crimes.[47] Shame on the NYtimes for "trying to minimize and excuse a terrorist attack that left 8 Jewish civilians dead, at their synagogue, on Int’l Holocaust Remembrance Day." concealing “the terror affiliations of at least seven of the nine Palestinians, introducing the false impression that the Palestinian dead are, like the Israelis murdered in Jerusalem, innocent victims." By it Times had achieved a “reprehensible result: minimizing and obscuring Palestinian terrorism." Critic contrasted a Times of Israel headline, "Armed Palestinian shot dead by guard near West Bank settlement, IDF says," and a New York Times headline about the same event, which said, "Palestinian Man Fatally Shot as Violence Continues in Israel."

Raja Abdulrahim in printed New York Times takes pains to describe the terrorist attack outside a Jerusalem synagogue as “a synagogue in a Jewish settlement[sic] in East Jerusalem.” The Times article says, “The recent Palestinian attacks, including Friday night’s shooting outside a synagogue and Saturday’s shooting, have targeted Israeli settlements and settlers in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. The settlements are considered illegal under international law and by much of the international community.”

That is cow manure, which is to say, both inaccurate and a morally loathsome effort to justify an attack on innocent civilian worshipers.

As HonestReporting noted, “On the contrary, Neve Yaakov is not a ‘settlement’ outside Jerusalem but is rather one of the neighborhoods that make up the Jerusalem municipality. While it is true that Israel gained control over that area following the Six-Day War, Neve Yaakov does not have the legal status of a ‘settlement’ and is a fully integrated municipal neighborhood. It should also be noted that Neve Yaakov sits on land that was purchased by the Jewish community in the early 20th century and served as a Jewish agricultural center until it was depopulated during the Israeli War of Independence.”


Husam Zomlot, head of the "Palestinian" mission to the UK, refused to condemn the massacre.[48]

Condemnations

Condemnations came including from Washington, UN, Abu Dhabi.[49]

Statements also poured in from across the diplomatic community, including from the Austrian Foreign Ministry, Italian foreign minister, Australian, Dutch, EU, German, Swedish and UK ambassadors to Israel, as well as Azerbaijan’s foreign affairs ministry.[18]

The US, Biden:[50]
Biden: 'This was an attack against the civilized world'
The White House:[51][18]

"The attack tragically occurred on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, when the memory of those lost in the Holocaust is commemorated around the world."

The United States offers the Israeli government and people its full support, and President Joe Biden directed the national security team to "engage immediately with Israeli counterparts to offer all appropriate support in assisting the wounded and bringing the perpetrators of this horrible crime to justice," the statement added.
US Ambassador to Israel:[49]
Thomas Nides also denounced the shooting, expressing shock and disgust at the “horrific act of violence, as did the EU’s envoy to the Jewish state and the French embassy, among others.
US Secretary of State:[50]
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement that the United States "condemns in the strongest terms the horrific terrorist attack that occurred today outside of a synagogue in Jerusalem." "We mourn those killed in the attack, and our thoughts are with the injured, including children," said Blinken. "The notion of people being targeted as they leave a house of worship is abhorrent. It is particularly tragic that this attack occurred on International Holocaust Remembrance Day."
The UK[49]:
UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said: "To attack worshippers at a synagogue on Holocaust Memorial Day, and during Shabbat, is horrific. We stand with our Israeli friends."
The UN:[24][52]
"The Secretary-General [Antonio Gutteres] strongly condemns today's terrorist attack by a Palestinian perpetrator outside a synagogue in Jerusalem, which claimed the lives of at least seven Israelis and injured several others," said his spokesperson in a statement.

"The Secretary-General extends his heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and wishes a prompt recovery to those injured."

"It is particularly abhorrent that the attack occurred at a place of worship, and on the very day we commemorated International Holocaust Remembrance Day. There is never any excuse for acts of terrorism. They must be clearly condemned and rejected by all.."
France:[24]
"France condemns in the strongest terms the appalling terrorist attack that targeted a synagogue in Jerusalem, killing at least seven people and wounding many more. This attack against civilians, at the time of prayer, and on the day of the international commemoration of the victims of the Holocaust is particularly despicable. France stands alongside the victims of this attack, as well as their families..."
Various, such as the UAE:[53]
Condemnation all over the world for the massacre of the synagogue in Jerusalem. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates strongly condemned the terrorist attack that took place near a synagogue in Jerusalem and defined it as a "heinous crime" that goes against human values. The Emiratis expressed their condolences to the government of Israel and the Israeli people and expressed sympathy to the families of the victims.
Druse leader:[54]

The reaction of the head of the Druze community, Sheikh Mofek Tarif, to the serious attack in Jerusalem: "Strongly condemns and denounces the criminal and despicable act of terrorism that happened on Shabbat evening in the Neve Yaakov Synagogue in Jerusalem. The mind cannot tolerate murderous terror against people during their prayer. My condolences to the families of the murdered and best wishes for a speedy recovery to the injured.

Trusts the security forces and strengthens their hands in their activity against the perpetrators of terrorism of all kinds."

Arrests

Overnight, the Israel Police and Border Police officers arrested 42 Palestinians as part of immediate investigations into the east Jerusalem shooting attack. Members of the attacker's family and residents from the Abu Tor neighborhood - where the terrorist Alqam Kheiri lived - were among those detained.[24][55]

Reactions

  • At the cabinet meeting that took place on Sunday, a precedent-setting decision was made according to which the home of the 13-year-old terrorist who carried out an attack near the City of David on Saturday morning and injured two people, one of them seriously, will be sealed off, even though he did not succeed in murdering. However, this is a reversible decision, as it has not yet been decided to demolish the house.[56]


  • The next day, the Knesset approved in first reading the bill according to which the "Minister of the Interior can ask the court to revoke the Israeli citizenship of a terrorist operative who receives compensation for his actions from the Palestinian Authority."[57]


  • "Following incitement to murder Jews: government ministers demand the arrest of the Palestinian Minister of Religion." As he directs every thursday material for Mosque sermons insinuating incitement to murder Jews.[58]


  • Demolition of illegal houses in East Jerusalem has begun.[59]


  • Another step: a limited forum, will discuss steps to strengthen the settlement.[60]

PIJ praises Iranian bosses.[64]

  • Jan 26, 2023.

Jenin terrorists plan a huge massacre on innocent Israelis intended to be carried out in the center of Israel. Israel carries out a preventive measure operation[65][66][67] (part of Wave breaker operation that began in March 2022 after a slew of Arab terror attacks[68][15]), some terrorists, attackers, are eliminated die.[69][70] The dead: PIJ operatives who planned significant attacks.[71]

In addition, Ezz-edin Salahat,[72] an operative of Fatah's Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Battalions and an officer in the "Palestinian" Police. He attacked the guys, who eliminated him on the spot.[71][73] In all, 10 terrorists were eliminated.[74] Yet, CNN,[75] for instance simply recycled Pallywoody "Palestinian" propaganda on 'number' of dead. Not a word about the terror plot and the 10 terrorists violence. As if these were some "unarmed."

(On the radical left Forward, a "Palestinian" propagated, lyingly, called the life-saving operation to eliminate a ticking time-bomb,[76] as an "assault" [sic][77]).

The US condemned the terrorists.[82]

The "Palestinian" terrorists fired then hours later three more rockets from the Gaza Strip at Israeli communities overnight.[83] Leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad stated that the missiles were sent from the common room led by Hamas and the Islamic Jihad.[84]

The Jenin violence, for months, also brought spotlight on "Illegal weapons trading," which "is fueling crime and terrorism in the West Bank."[85]

    "My heart goes out to the families of those murdered in the murderous and shocking attack on the synagogue in Jerusalem. A brutal massacre in a holy place that teaches that our enemies have no limit to their cruelty and deep hatred against us. These days, I call on every freed fighter or civilian who owns a weapon, to carry the weapon on him, as I myself do, and in case of need to row into contact and eliminate the terrorists.

    The massacre in the synagogue in Jerusalem obliges us to allow every freed fighter to get a gun license and thus save lives in the next attack. It is improbable that fighters we trust to fight in Lebanon or Gaza - will be refused and will not receive a weapon license. I promoted the issue in the previous Knesset and I intend to continue promoting it from the government. We must allow the liberated fighters to protect their family and their environment in the next attack.'

The police raised alertness to the highest level; Netanyahu: "Don't take the law into your own hands" Two shooting attacks happened in Jerusalem in the last day, in which seven people were killed and five were injured in total. These attacks, which took place yesterday in the Neve Ya'akov neighborhood and this morning in the city of David, marked a step up after the rocket barrages from the Gaza Strip on Thursday evening. In last night's attack, seven people were murdered and three others were injured - a man in his 20s, a boy about 15 years old and a woman about 60 years old. The terrorist arrived in the neighborhood in a car shortly after 8:00 PM. He opened fire with a gun at passers-by on the street near the Ataret Avraham Synagogue in the neighborhood, then fled, and policemen who started chasing him shot him dead. This is the attack with the highest number of fatalities carried out in Israel since the combined attack on Route 12 in 2011. The terrorist is Kheiry Alkam, a 21-year-old Palestinian resident of the A-Tor neighborhood in East Jerusalem.. After the attack, the police arrested during the night 42 suspects, the terrorist's relatives, his entourage and his family - and most of them were arrested at his home in Tor. In the hours after the attack, in Jenin, the Gaza Strip and other places in the West Bank they celebrated the massacre of Jewish civilians. Videos shared from the cities on social media showed fireworks, gatherings, songs of praise and shouts of joy. The other attack took place around 11:00 am on Ma'alot Street in the City of David in the Silwan neighborhood in the east of the city, in which two people were seriously injured.

The son, an officer in the paratrooper brigade who was armed on the Sabbath holiday - was wounded but returned fire and neutralized the terrorist. Following the two attacks, it was decided in the security system to increase the forces in Judea-Samaria and in Jerusalem, and Commissioner Kobi Shabtai also announced that he would place a permanent security team in the capital. Tonight, a meeting of the political and security cabinet is expected to discuss the response to the events, and among other things, the promotion of a law to deport families of terrorist operatives.

    After entering and attacking the people in the synagogue, the shooter reportedly started chasing after people who were trying to escape.

    He then attempted to flee the scene by car and fired in the direction of Israel Police officers. The officers fired back and killed him. One of the attendants of the synagogue who witnessed the attack said that the police didn't arrive at the scene for 20 minutes after the initial shots were fired, as they didn't believe the callers and thought the noise came from shots being fired in the air in nearby east Jerusalem neighborhoods...

    Celebrations, including fireworks and guns being shot in the air, were witnessed in Jenin and other Arab towns throughout Israel in reaction to the incident. Police are searching the area for additional terrorists.

    Natalie and Eliyahu Ziskin were murdered together last night in an attack in Neve Yaakov in Jerusalem. 46-year-old Natalie Ziskin worked until Friday, for 20 years, as a food department at Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital. Every day she came to work where she met many patients, provided them with hot food and enjoyed listening to their stories and asking how they were doing... When her father, who is my brother, died a decade ago, she continued to take care of mother devotedly, all the time for her. Doctors, transportation, medicines and treatments - all for mom. Two years ago she married Eliyahu after a few years of friendship. On Friday, as always, she finished her shift at Hadassah Mount Scopus and after distributing dinner to the patients, she went to Hama's house, Eli's father. From there, like every Friday, she was supposed to drive back to Beit Shemesh so as not to leave her mother alone. When they were in the middle of the Shabbat meal, they heard the shots - in the middle of the meal, she and her husband wanted to offer help and came down from the house to take care of the wounded, then they were both shot. That's how a whole life ended. We are broken, we can't believe this happened to us."

    The CEO of the Hadassah Medical Center, Prof. Yoram Weiss: "The Hadassah employees all bow their heads at this difficult time, mourning the loss of dear Nathalie and her husband Eliyahu. Nathalie was part of a large family, the Hadassah family, a long-time worker and seller at the hospital. Everyone who worked alongside her tells of a warm, caring woman who wanted to do good to the patients she met every day, so her co-workers were not surprised when they heard that she rushed to help the injured last night. The staff of the Hadassah Medical Center wishes to console the family for their difficult loss and embraces them in their difficult hours. Natalie and Elijah her husband, may their memory be blessed.'

    This morning in the synagogue, when the cantor recited the prayer 'G-d full of mercy', for the elevation of the souls of those murdered in the attack, there was not a single dry eye left among the worshipers, the president wrote.

    The President of the State Yitzhak Herzog addressed the severe terrorist attacks that took place in Jerusalem at the end of Shabbat. "The heart is broken in the face of the terrible attacks that took place during Shabbat in Jerusalem. We lost seven innocent civilians in a murderous terrorist attack, those who just received/welcomed 'The Shabbat [HaMalka]' in the bosom of family and community. May their memory be blessed. This morning in the synagogue, when the cantor recited the prayer 'G-d is full of mercy', for the uplifting of the souls of those murdered in the attack, there was not a single dry eye left among the worshippers, and I was among them. Everyone's hearts were moved together," the president wrote. "The terrible attacks remind us once again of a simple and painful truth: whatever the differences between us, in the face of our enemies, who seek our harm and rise to kill us - we must maintain our unity. We strengthen and trust the security forces that work day and night in the face of terrorism.

    I call on everyone to be vigilant and responsible these days. I wish a speedy recovery to the wounded and mourn with the families of the murdered."

  31. Will they continue to study? Arab students at Hadassah College praised the terrorist who carried out the murderous attack in Jerusalem, News 0404, 28/01/2023.

    This evening, the Arabic research department of the ImTitzu [If You Will] movement reveals serious incitement by students at Hadassah College. A student.. studying social work, posted a status on WhatsApp in which she wrote: "The 21-year-old heroic Shahid from East Jerusalem, he brought our revenge." A student named Ahmed Kalouti, studying biotechnology, uploaded a WhatsApp status in which he quoted a verse from the Koran: "Allah will abuse them and defeat them."..

    In response to the words, Shai Rosengarten, head of the education department of the ImTitzu [If You Will] movement, calls for the Israel Police to immediately arrest the supporters of the terrorists and for the college management to keep them away: "The entire Israeli people are shocked and pained by the murder of 7 innocent civilians and the wounding of 5 more Israelis. It turns out that at the same time there are Israeli students who see the need Congratulate on these attacks. We call on the management of Hadassah College to immediately expel the students who published the eulogy of the murderers - there is no place in the academy for supporters of terrorism. In addition, the Israel Police must act immediately to arrest the supporters of terrorism before they carry out an attack on their classmates!"
  32. Yehonatan Gottlieb, Neve Yaakov attack: Arab student in Israeli college glorifies attack in social media, INN, Jan 28, 2023.

    "What's going on in Jerusalem? Someone's dispatching .. to meet their[sic] G-d." Following the deadly terrorist attack in Neve Yaakov, Jerusalem, on Shabbat evening, an Arab student studying law at Kiryat Ono Academic College uploaded a mocking post to his social media accounts, highlighting his glee at the loss of Jewish life. On his "status" page on WhatsApp, the student posted a screenshot from Facebook in Arabic where someone asked, "What's going on in Jerusalem?" and another person replied, "Someone's working on dispatching .. off to their[sic] G-d." Students in the Arab's second-year class were furious to realize that their classmate thought that the slaughter of Jews was something to mock. Several contacted Israel National News to express their anger. "This also happened right after another incident on the campus, when a student picked up an object and pretended to stab another student," they related. "We're just in shock that a student could post a status glorifying terrorism and supporting this awful attack." They added that, "We expect the administration of the College to expel him and strip him of all his rights as a student. We should never condone such things happening on campus. We pay good money to learn here, in security, without concerns for our safety, and we're counting on the academic staff dealing with this incident at the earliest possible opportunity. We're not going to let this pass in silence. If they don't do anything about it, we're going to involve the police and submit a complaint accusing the student of incitement."

    In response to the allegations, the administration of Kiryat Ono College issued a statement saying: "We view incitement or support for terrorism with the greatest severity, as we do any calls for violence or mockery of its victims. The post will be investigated and if it is found necessary, the student will be expelled."
  33. Asher Etedgi, Outrageous: 2 assistants at a kindergarten in Herzliya expressed support for the terrorist who carried out the attack, Herzliya.mynet, Jan 29, 2023.

    Assistants at the Kochav Yam municipal residence in Herzliya published words of praise on social media for the terrorist who carried out the attack in Jerusalem. The municipality announced the cessation of their work. Chairman of the parents' leadership Ziv Omer: "Statements praising the murder of a Jew for being Jewish have no place in Israeli society, and certainly not in the education system."

    In the posts that appeared in the story of their WhatsApp account, it was written in Arabic, among other things, "Paradise[sic]" with a green heart on the background of a photo of celebrations that took place after the serious attack. In another photo that was uploaded to the story on the WhatsApp account of one of the assistants, it is written in Arabic "Good evening to all people, Allah Akbar", against a background of a photo of a police car from the scene of the attack. In another story, the caption "Our homeland" appeared with a Palestinian flag and an emoji of hearts.

    The chairman of the Herzliya municipal parents' leadership, Ziv Omer: "We are all pained by the heinous murder of innocent worshippers. Statements praising the murder of a Jew for being Jewish have no place in Israeli society, and certainly not in the education system. The municipality did well to take decisive and immediate action. In Herzliya there are quite a few education workers from the Arab sector, the vast majority of them come to teach tolerance and love for others. We all hope that the rotten apples will not hurt at all. Our condolences to the families of the murdered, and best wishes for a speedy recovery to the injured."

    The world condemns the two attacks in Jerusalem, but Abu Mazen avoids condemnation: "Israel is responsible for the escalation." The European Union said today that it was "horrified by the horrific terrorist attack yesterday at the synagogue in Jerusalem, in which at least seven people were killed and many injured, when they arrived for the Shabbat service". The Union also added that it is also shocked by the attack that took place today in the city of David in which a father and son were injured. "The European Union strongly condemns these insane acts of violence and hatred," an official statement said, "These terrible events demonstrate once again how urgent it is to reverse this spiral of violence and engage in significant efforts to restart peace negotiations. We call on all parties not to respond to provocations." Many Arab countries have also condemned the recent attacks in Jerusalem, including Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Egypt. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia stated that "the country is concerned about the deterioration of the situation between Israel and the Palestinians to a dangerous escalation. We condemn any harm to civilians and call for a halt to the escalation and a resumption of the peace process." Egypt's foreign minister also warned against escalation and "slipping into a cruel cycle of violence", and called on the parties to exercise maximum restraint. Jordan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also added in addition to the condemnation that it calls for immediate steps to stop the escalation between Israel and the Palestinians and warns against the "explosion of the circles of violence". The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Emirates expressed its condolences to the families of the victims and stated that the country "opposes all types of violence and terrorism that aim to undermine security and stability in the region and are contrary to all humanitarian principles." In contrast, the Chairman of the Palestinian Authority Abu Mazen did not condemn the attacks, and stated that Israel is responsible...

    In Hadassah, Mount Scopus, a commemorative stand was set up this morning in memory of two of the victims of the severe attack in Neve Ya’akov on Saturday night – hospital employee Natalie Mizrahi and her husband Eli. “”The Hadassah employees all bow their heads at this difficult time, mourning the loss of dear Nathalie and her husband Eli”

    The deadly attack on Friday night continues to reverberate in Jerusalem (and in general), as last night – Motzaei-Shabbat- was saturated with grief and bereavement with the existence of funerals for almost all of the murdered.

    This morning, Sunday, a commemorative stand was placed in the entrance plaza of Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital in memory of hospital employee Natalie Mizrahi and her husband Eli OBM, who went down to help the victims after hearing the sounds of gunfire, met a terrorist and were shot and killed.

    The late Natalie, 46 years old at the time of her death, worked in the food department at Hadassah Mount Scopus for about 20 years. She also worked on Friday morning, a few hours before she was murdered.

    As mentioned, at Hadassah Mount Scopus, a commemorative stand was placed with the photos of the late Nathalie and Eli Mizrahi, and soul candles next to them. Hospital employees and patients bowed their heads and lit soul candles. Ella Sakovich, Natalie’s aunt, a long-time employee in the housekeeping operations department at Hadassah Mount Scopus, says goodbye with great pain: “Natalie immigrated to Israel with her parents and her sister in the 90s, and from then until today she lovingly took care of both parents, around the clock. She worked at Hadassah Mount Scopus In a job that she loved so much, always with a smile, always with a desire to give and give to those hospitalized in the wards. We met a lot on shifts and I always saw her satisfied and happy. She felt good here, that she could give of herself. When her father, who is my brother, died a decade ago, she continued to care for her mother with devotion, all the time for her. Doctors, transportation, medicines and treatments – all for mom.

    “Two years ago, she married Eliyahu .. On Friday, as always, she finished her shift at Hadassah Mount Scopus, and after distributing dinner to the patients, she went to the home of her father-in-law, Eli’s father, in Neve Yaakov. From there she was supposed to go, like every Friday, Back to Beit Shemesh so as not to leave her mother alone. When they were in the middle of the Shabbat meal, they heard the shots – in the middle of the meal she and her husband wanted to offer help and came down from the house to treat the wounded, then they were both shot. This is how a whole life ended. We are broken, we can’t believe this happened to us”.
