"November 4, 1995 - We Will Not Forget": Today is the 31st anniversary of Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin's assassination, after addressing a peace rally in Tel Aviv. 4.11.95 is the day Israel began spiraling down. Rabin-the man&leader-is sorely missed. May his memory be a blessing๐Ÿ™

Netanyahu & his propaganda machine accuse Israel's Arab citizens of "stealing" the elections, which is baseless & preposterous. All Arabs are doing is exercising their democratic right to vote as full-fledged citizens of Israel

Must Read by @BarakRavid: During Netanyahu's PMship, since 2009, Iran has made its greatest advancements towards a nuclear weapon, and now Netanyahu's arguing he'd be the most effective in preventing a nuclear Iran. What a joke!
