A few months before the murder of Rabin, for the first time I saw the Rabin-kefye poster of Rabin, and for the first time ever heard the cries: "Mavet le-Rabin!". The excited young protagonists were settler youths, demonstrating opposite the government compound in Jerusalem. Their parents were busy protest-camping nearby.
Soon after we were all witness to the infamous gathering at Zion Square, where similar posters and worse were freely displayed.
When I wrote in my post yesterday that the new right-wing incitement was "frightening", it was precisely those frightenng Jerusalem memories that had come to the fore. |
