The question Israel still hasn’t answered about Rabin’s murder
There is nothing wrong with inviting those who resisted Rabin’s policies to speak at the rally in his memory. But they need to answer one fundamental question first.

Israel is a disturbing demonstration of how far violent intolerance involving ethnic and religious prejudice can go.
