    The Israeli response to this movie shows just how radicalized they have become

    They have been forced into exile with death threats against them and their entire families, in an effort to stop them from releasing the film

    It’s terrorism through and through

    So, it takes normal Israeli Jews being attacked to realize how bad the Israeli government really is?

    OK, I’m bitter. of course I’m glad that this is getting tons of public attention and I hope everybody involved in the making of Naza stays alive and well, and everybody else goes and watches it.

    Is it available by now btw?

    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.”
