Given our long history, we Jews have a short memory. Baseless hatred resulted in the destruction of the Temple, and the same internecine strife ended with Rabin's assassination. Rabin's family requested that both the Knesset and state ceremonies, which have been held annually to commemorate the dark stain in Israel's history and the extraordinary life that it extinguished, be canceled this year. In the weekend incident, which the police's Lahav 433 significant crimes unit and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) called 'a dangerous escalation' in the protests calling for a ceasefire and a hostage deal, three people were arrested after a pair of flares were fired at Netanyahu's home in Caesarea and landed in the yard. One of the detainees was reported to be a reserve general in the IDF. Although no damage was reported, and Netanyahu and his family were not at home at the time of the incident, it should be treated for what it was - an act of physical violence against the prime minister.
