This Saturday evening, three days before the elections, the Labor Party will hold an early rally in memory of Yitzhak Rabin. If there is still a slight doubt that the assassination of the late Rabin has turned from a national event into a political tool, Labor Chairman Merav Michaeli is working hard to remove it.
The horror show reached its peak yesterday, when in a video she uploaded to her Twitter account, Michaeli exclaimed for her supporters to participate in the rally and declared: “We will not let the murderer win.”
This was not a spat, far from it, but part of a timed and planned wave of incitement that continued throughout the election campaign, and increased as the party dropped in the polls. A little while later, during a relaxed interview with Yehuda Schlesinger at the Israel Hayom conference, Michaeli Repeat the same message And she added: “Rabin was murdered a political murder with the cooperation of Binyamin Netanyahu and Ben Gvir.”
The harsh criticism, including from among the leftist camp, was not long in coming and in the evening the video was deleted. The disgrace will be difficult to erase.

About two months ago, Michaeli announced that this year the party would organize and finance the rally, a move designed to ensure that no other political actor would participate in it during an election period.
And speaking of elections, as mentioned, Michaeli chose to advance the ceremony ten full days before the official memorial date, and move it from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The election date is more important to her. Even the Rabin family is tired of this behavior, and Dalia Rabin announced that she will not attend the event because, according to her, it is a purely party rally.
Do you have a right-wing opinion? According to Merav Michaeli, you are complicit in the murder!
Yes, yes, also those of you who are not going to vote or who are thinking of voting Gantz.pic.twitter.com/Yarm07wTlm

Almost 27 years have passed since the criminal murder, but the battle to rewrite history still continues and is full of vile lies, especially from the left who are trying to squeeze every drop of political profit from it. It became a regular annual ritual, and especially during an election campaign, which also became a kind of regular ritual.
When the mandates are in danger – they pull out the worn Rabin card again and again; When the ideas have run out and failed in the face of the test of reality – come back to attack with all your might an imaginary opponent and with all kosher and less kosher means; And as the percentage of blocking approaches, the intensity of the demagoguery increases.
But beyond the transparent political spins, Michaeli and his ilk are sinning against history itself. She may be relying on a short memory, or a lack of memory in general among the younger generation, but the facts are known and hard to argue about. so what are we doing? Turn to lies. In doing so, Michaeli might get a few more votes next week, although if we’re talking about history, it proves that this trick is no longer very effective and may turn out to be another own goal. The price we all pay, beyond the division that the left insists on sowing, is a serious damage to Rabin’s legacy.
Yes, the assassination of the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was a politically motivated murder, and the assassination led to a social rift that has not yet fully healed. However, instead of healing and fighting, the cynical campaign of incitement headed by Michaeli only widens the rift and denigrates the memory.
It is impossible to know what the late Rabin would have thought of the current image of the Labor Party, which has transformed in recent years from a national movement with serious leadership and ideological foundations to an extreme minority faction whose activities amount to a cluster of Tik-Tok videos. One can only guess that he was not particularly satisfied with the constant pursuit of districts The extreme left, from post-Zionism and contempt for Judaism, from the obsessive gender discourse and messages of division that we are witnessing these days from the workers, and certainly not from the dismal electoral situation that is the result of the above.
Instead of practicing the proper statesmanship that the left so loves to preach, it is sad and shameful to see how some still insist on making political profit from the murder in order to deepen the factionalism. The rally “against incitement” turns into a show of poisonous incitement. The event “in memory of the heritage” dishonors the memory and tarnishes the heritage. And all for dubious and temporary political gain. At least on the days when we remember the deceased, the time has come for Marev Michaeli to let him go.
