26 years since the Ramallah lynching – the horror that must not be forgotten

Marking 26 years since the Ramallah lynching, in which reserve soldiers Yossi Avrahami and Vadim Norzhich were murdered on 12 October 2000 by an Arab mob, Channel 14 publishes a memorial article. The writer links the event to the October 7 massacre and argues that the same "evil" has not disappeared.

On 12 October 2000, 26 years ago, reserve soldiers Yossi Avrahami and Vadim Norzhich were caught in Ramallah and fell into the hands of an Arab mob. According to the account, young and old, police and civilians beat them, stabbed them, mutilated their bodies and abused them, and the bodies were thrown to the crowd, which continued to abuse them even after death. The writer notes that "the world saw. And was silent." The article is published on the 26th anniversary of the event and links it to the events of October 7. According to the writer, on October 7 "we saw again the same monstrosity. The same murderous hatred. The same delight in Jewish blood." He adds that anyone who thought it was a passing event received a chilling reminder that "evil has not disappeared. It merely waited for the next opportunity." The text ends with the call "We will not forget. We will not forgive. May their memory be blessed." The article is signed by Hillel Bitton Rozen, military and security correspondent and presenter on Channel 14.
