Ha’aretz, in an editorial titled “Testing Israel's Democracy in Wartime”, quoted current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as saying to his party’s Knesset members, “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas... This is part of our strategy." The giant anti-apartheid demonstrations were held on November 4, the 28th anniversary of the assassination of Itzhak Rabin, whose assassins are now in power in the Knesset. Israelis of good will must repudiate Netanyahu and his ilk decisively if Israel is to survive the shame of this moment.
