31 years since the Rabin assassination: The date has been forgotten, but the spirit of incitement is alive and kicking

31 years since the Rabin assassination: The Gregorian date passed almost without mention. Netanyahu was absent from the memorial and did not mention Rabin, except for a cynical tweet. Eisenkot linked the assassination to current incitement, blaming Ben Gvir and Strock. The article describes manifestations of racism in the media and at the President's Residence, and calls for Jewish-Arab partnership.

31 years since the Rabin assassination: The Gregorian date, November 4, passed almost without mention, while the political system aligned with the Hebrew date. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was absent from the state memorial and did not mention Rabin; the only time he tweeted the word 'Rabin' in the past month was in a cynical context – warning his supporters against a repeat of the 1992 election results. Gadi Eisenkot was the only politician who emphasized the Gregorian date, and in a pointed post linked the Rabin assassination to current incitement, accusing Itamar Ben Gvir and Orit Strock of incitement against the Arab minority. The article describes Strock's remarks at the President's Residence, where she called the Arab parties 'illegitimate' claiming they are nationalist, and President Herzog's response asking her how she distinguishes between racism and her words. Also described are manifestations of racism in the media: broadcaster Ayala Hasson attacked Bedouin women and polling stations in the Arab sector, and broadcaster Eyal Berkovitz shouted on Channel 13. The article concludes with a call for full Jewish-Arab partnership as a remedy for Israel's face.
