A Palestinian who offered assistance at the scene of a July 1 terrorist attack in Israel, in which a rabbi was killed, has been dismissed from his public service job in the Palestinian Authority.
J., whose full name has not been made public, was the first of two Palestinians who provided assistance to Rabbi Michael Mark, who was shot by Palestinian terrorists while driving on Route 60, an intercity road across Israel, Judea and Samaria between Nazareth in the North and Beersheba in the South. Mark’s wife and one of his daughters were wounded in the attack. The Palestinian man helped Mark’s children, who were in the car during the attack, escape the overturned vehicle.

(Courtesy of the Mark family) “We saw an overturned car — I stopped my car on the right [side of the road] and we got out. I tried to open the door, but the car was completely locked. All the doors were locked in the front and the back,” J. told Channel 2 in a July interview.
“I saw two children inside screaming and asking me to help them. I put out my hand and for two minutes, I tried to open the door to get to the children who were suffocating in the car. I think that if they stayed there a little while longer, those children would have suffocated in the car. Out of the shock she felt, the young daughter spontaneously grabbed me and jumped onto me. I immediately put my hand on her head and spoke to her in Hebrew, of course. I told her, ‘Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, I will help you. Don’t worry,’” he said.
“I did what I did out of humanity. These are children. There were children inside. There were people inside. I didn’t hesitate at all,” he added.
Another Palestinian man, Dr. Ali Abu Sherech from the Hebron area, also stopped at the scene within minutes of the attack and provided medical care to the family. Both men initially believed they were at the scene of a vehicular accident, and did not immediately realize it was a terror attack until security forces arrived.
“As a doctor, I am committed to saving lives, whether Jewish Muslim or Christian,” Sherech said. “The mother and father suffered the most serious injuries. I examined the father, and he had already died. The mother was suffocating because of the seat belt that had wrapped around her neck, and she suffered gunshot wounds to her upper body.”
“The girl was in shock, and when I examined her, I realized that she was not seriously injured. I tried to explain to her in English that we wanted to help them, but she did not understand me. My brother spoke to her gently in Hebrew and explained to her that I am a doctor and that we would help them. We told her that her mother and father would be OK and that medical help would arrive soon and they would be taken to the hospital, though I knew the father was no longer alive. I didn’t want her to panic even more,” the Palestinian doctor said.

Help protect Israel's victims of terror! The Palestinian Authority has declined to comment on its decision to dismiss J. from his public service job. A relative of J.’s told Israel Hayom that “since it became clear that he was the first to arrive at the scene of the attack and that he helped the victims, he and his family have been subjected to a smear campaign and received threats.”
“He is not scared, but it bothers him that he and his family have become outcasts since the event. More than anything, it hurts him that he was fired from his job in the public sector of the Palestinian Authority. They told him that he was let go because of budget cuts, but he was the only one who was fired a few days after the incident,” the relative said, stressing that J. does not regret his decision to help the Mark family.

Yochai Damari, the head of the Har Hebron Regional Council in Judea, wrote in a Facebook post, “J. arrived on the scene seconds after the attack and he worked to free the children from the vehicle and to release the seat belt that was strangling the mother, Havi. Afterward, he even watched over the children in his own car and saw to it that nobody hurt them or kidnapped them — this despite the fact that people in the dozens of cars that passed by threatened him and demanded that he refuse to help Jews.”
Damari said that he had met with J., who had asked him to help arrange an Israeli work permit for him. Following the meeting, Damari approached Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman asking for help.
“In situations like these, it is our duty as a Jewish nation to show gratitude toward people who behave like upstanding human beings,” Damari also wrote on Facebook.
“Specifically at a time like this, it is important to strengthen the positive forces and to send a clear message that normal and positive behavior like this will result in a normal and positive reward from us,” he said.
Israeli Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked also commented on the issue during a visit to the Har Hebron area.
“I understand that the Palestinian Authority fired the person who helped the Mark family,” she said. “This is the behavior of [an organization] that encourages terrorism. I will demand of the U.N. secretary-general to take action to stop this abuse of someone whose only sin was to help injured Jews,” she said.
There are some decent Muslims, and then there is their evil culture.
Long past time for the tiny nation to shut down Israel and all its benefits to Muslims! Let them find work elsewhere....like Saudi Arabia. Israel funnels barrels of shekels to the Palestinians that they then use to finance their missiles and terrorists lobbed into the Nation.

Lucky he's alive
Samaria ping
Exactly.
“There are some decent Muslims, and then there is their evil culture”
In every “normal” (statistical term) population distribution there will be a full spectrum of all the potential types of individual items.
The Palestinian Authority once again proves itself to be the essence of evil.
There can never be “peace” so long as such evil dominates the Palestinians.
No good deed goes unpunished.
These two acted with humanity and decency, and I know that their souls will ultimately be rewarded.
Palestinians are Cheap Labor, like illegals are here.
There were decent Nazis, too.
There exist human beings in PA who are decent and do good deeds despite being surrounded by Islamic murderous hate culture.
The less of a Muslim, the better the person. And, of course, no good deed goes unpunished. Hope the Israelis help find him a job. He still has a target on his back, though.
What a despicable people.
And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter... and fight them until fitnah is no more, and religion is for Allah.
—Quran 2:191
Permission to take up arms is hereby given to those who are attacked because they have been oppressed – Allah indeed has power to grant them victory – those who have been unjustly driven from their homes, only because they said: "Our Lord is Allah".
—Quran,22:39
O you who believe! when you meet those who disbelieve marching for war, then turn not your backs to them. And whoever shall turn his back to them on that day-- unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or withdraws to a company-- then he, indeed, becomes deserving of Allah's wrath, and his abode is hell; and an evil destination shall it be.
—Quran,8:15
Consider not those who are killed in the way of Allah as dead. Nay, they are alive with their Lord, and they will be provided for. They rejoice in what Allah has bestowed upon them of His bounty and rejoice for the sake of those who have not yet joined them, but are left behind [not yet martyred] that on them too no fear shall come, nor shall they grieve. They rejoice in a grace and a bounty from Allah, and that Allah will not waste the reward of the believers.. —Quran,3:169 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That guy was a bad moslem. He has no heart to see the infidel slain at his hand. Innocent infidel children begging for mercy!?!..AND HE GIVES IT TO THEM !! What a pussy for his faith! Every country has their traitors.
Destroy islam
Sad. Compassion and humanity has no place in the world of Islam.
Mr. J. I’m amazed that I’m saying this to you. But in an unintended way, Kahane was right. Get out of Israel, or Palestine, or whatever you want to call it. There is a big, bright world out there where nobody gets punished for behaving decently. America, Canada, Australia, Peru, Chile, etc., all would welcome you, and you can forget this insanity.
This reminds me of the story of the Good Samaritan in the New Testament.
