the day commemorating Rabin should also become the day honoring democracy
A political murder is a means of taking "freedom of expression" to its bitter culmination
A murder is a murder, but the murder of a prime minister constitutes the murder of the democratic principle for which prime ministers serve, even those who are not worthy of their position
Peres said several years ago that "votes are not weighed but counted."
This goes to show that the principle of majority rule and the appointment of the person who receives the votes of the majority in the Knesset is a principle without which society cannot exist
the anniversary of Rabin's death is being marked in several ways
One of them is the publication of a recording calling for Yigal Amir, the assassin, to be freed; and some of the media are giving this a great deal of publicity
it is the media's ethical duty not to grant extensive coverage to hallucinatory and dangerous voices and to words and images that oppose democracy
