In a gesture of solidarity, Mustafa Salim, 35, an Arab Israeli resident of the northern village of Muqaibla did not shave or cut his hair for more than five years until Gilad Schalit was released from captivity. “I am very proud of what I did and of the State of Israel. Such a kidnapping is not courageous and is not based on the culture of Islam.”
