One of the two Arab security guards who attacked MK Itamar Ben Gvir on Tuesday is Muhammad Shviki, who previously wrote a post on a social network in which he praised a Palestinian terrorist.
This is the terrorist Ali Shiochi, who according to the "Jewish Voice" website is a Hamas man from the village of Silwan who was killed in October 2016 after throwing a Molotov cocktail.
Under the picture of the terrorist, Shwicki wrote: "Allah have mercy on you, my dear. This was your wish and it came true with the help of Allah. You asked for heaven and Allah gave it to you."
"Darling."

Meanwhile, MK Ben Gvir told Israel Today yesterday that "it was not a quarrel over parking, it was much more than that.
We parked in a place that did not suit the thugs who attacked me.
One of them was carrying a weapon.
We were in an underground parking lot, pretty isolated, and these two thugs told me, 'We'll kill you,' 'We'll kill you,' 'We'll hurt you.'
This is the stage where I took out the weapon.
I did not aim at them even though I could.
When they saw that there were weapons, they recoiled.
Then they kept cursing.
But whoever was silent when Ayman Odeh attacked me, it should not come as a surprise that now I am being attacked again. "
Maybe you pulled out too early?
"No. In the incident with Odeh I did not pull out a gun. When stones were thrown at me I did not pull out. But here was an incident that is a clear danger to my life, and for that there is a gun. When the police arrived they escaped. She located them, did not arrest them. Messages like 'We will kill you', 'We will kill you', 'We will kill your children' ".

Yesterday, Ben Gvir met with a Knesset officer for clarification following the incident, in which he pulled out his gun during the confrontation with the security guards.
"I told him what happened," Ben Gvir said, "and I asked how I could get hundreds of threats, and MKs who get a quarter of a threat attach guards with security battalions. There might be someone who would even be happy for me to get hurt."
He said, "The responsibility for security lies with the police, not with the Knesset officer, and I hope this is not the closing of the account of Commissioner Molly.
This incident could have ended much more severely. "Ben Gvir noted that he would pull out a weapon" in any case that would endanger my life, "he said.
"MK Bar Ben Gvir also referred to the incident in the Knesset plenum yesterday. It should come as no surprise that at the end of the day I am attacked in a dark parking lot in Tel Aviv.
"I would expect those in the coalition to hear more than once when MK Silman spoke about threats to her life - to come and defend, to say enough about violence, and in their case, enough of hypocrisy."
