After Monday’s dramatic siege in Sydney Australia came to violent end, Australian-Israelis 
are surprised that terror which unfortunately is so common in Israel, is making its way to 
the doorsteps of their hometown. Arsen Ostrovsky, Director of Research at the Israeli-
Jewish Congress, who is originally from Sydney gives some perspective.

Three Israelis from a far-right group were charged on Monday with setting fire to a 
classroom in an Arab-Jewish school that has been a symbol of co-existence in Jerusalem.
Israel's Shin Bet security service said brothers Nahman and Shlomo Twito, aged 18 and 20, 
and Yitzhak Gabai, 22, belong to Lehava, a group that objects to personal or business 
relations between Jews and Arabs. According to the indictment, the men set fire to a 
classroom in the Hand-in-Hand school last month and sprayed anti-Arab graffiti on the walls 
of its courtyard. The brothers, who live in a settlement in the West Bank, and Gabai, a 
resident of Jerusalem, were led into court handcuffed and smiling, but made no comment. 
Their lawyer said their confessions were made under pressure.

Palestinian and Israeli children played a game of football on Monday in Haifa to mark the 
centenary of the legendary football match between the German and Allied troops on the 
Western Front during the Christmas Truce of 1914.
A hundred years ago troops from both sides laid down their arms in an unofficial Christmas 
Truce, and legend grew that the opposing troops played football in no-man's land. It's a 
legend that history cannot verify - but one which remains a powerful symbol of peace. The 
event in Haifa was hosted by the British diplomatic mission. More from The Jerusalem Post: http://www.jpost.com
