    I mean…that’s basically how he came into power in 1996, no?

    Continued to stoke fear and hatred against palistinians and anyone trying to work towards peace, and incited the right-wing masses to violence until one of them snapped and shot prime minister Yitzhak Rabin.

    One of the shit stains currently working a prominent role in his government even started an official organization in 2007, campaigning for the assassin to be freed from jail.

      Ben Gvir had a big part in stoking hatred and inflammatory language that led to the killing of Yitzhak Rabin

      Rabin was killed while getting into his car in 1995, by a Jewish extremist at a rally in Tel Aviv - retaliation for signing a peace agreement two years earlier with Yasser Arafat, the chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization.

      Ben-Gvir, Netanyahu and other rightwing figures who stood against the peace agreement organised a rally in Jerusalem’s Zion Square a month before Rabin’s killing, during which protesters shouted “Death to Rabin”.

      A photo of Ben-Gvir carrying an emblem from Rabin’s car was republished recently. Ben-Gvir reportedly said, “We got to his car, and we’ll get to him too.”
