Add two lines to your xorg.conf file at your InputDevice section. Notice
that the line with the comment is the debian default.

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc104"
#       Option          "XkbLayout"     "us"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "us,il"
        Option          "XkbOptions"    "grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle"
