.........at the time the settlers and the religious right wing were dancing in the streets from joy .
Today nobody cares that much anymore , all you get are platidudes from the politicians .

PM decries 'incitement' at ceremony marking 25th anniversary of Rabin's murder

Turned the memorial into about being threats against him .
Of course we all remember him standing on the balcony stirring up his right wing crowds with incitement against
