| Four Israeli cities, citing security, ban Arab workers from schools | |

| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] At least four Israeli cities, including the commercial capital Tel Aviv, have temporarily banned Arab laborers from working in their schools as they struggle to calm public fears fueled by the worst surge of Paleostinian street attacks in years. Israel's cabinet also imposed more security measures on Sunday after further Paleostinian stabbings this weekend, widening police stop-and-frisk powers that will effectively allow them to search anyone on the street. A party representing Israel's Arab minority called the municipalities' edicts "racist." Israel's Interior Ministry, which oversees the municipalities, said it appealed to "all mayors to continue to act with respect and equality towards all their workers, irrespective of religion, ethnicity or gender." It did not ask them to repeal the restrictions. Forty-one Paleostinians and seven Israelis have died in recent street violence, which was in part triggered by Paleostinians' anger over what they see as increased Jewish encroachment on Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque compound. "We are preserving the status quo, we will continue to do so," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in public remarks on Sunday to his cabinet, referring to the site that is also revered by Jews as the location of two destroyed biblical temples. Netanyahu is to meet U.S. Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you knowKerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat,conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... in Germany in the coming week as part of an effort by Washington to restore calm. Kerry also plans to hold talks in the Middle East with Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... , but no precise location has been announced.
The decision to ban cleaning and maintenance workers from schools when students are present comes after more than two weeks of Paleostinian unrest and knife attacks targeting Jews. A spokeswoman for the Tel Aviv municipality confirmed the measure saying it applied to "both Jewish and Arab" workers and was taken due to the "sensitive situation." | |

| #1 A party representing Israel's Arab minority called the municipalities' edicts "racist." Don't see many Filipinos or Africans stabbing Jews. |
