Zionist Union MK ‘curses’ protesters at alternative memorial ceremony
Zionist Union MK Miki Rosenthal tears into the right-wing protesters who demonstrated at an Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day ceremony in Tel Aviv last night.
“Cursed be those who spit on bereaved parents, despicable are those who curse people who came to commune with the fallen,” he says. “We must not let this violence pass in silence. Everyone remembers in their own way, in whichever ceremony they chose. No one will tell us what to feel, no one will decide for us what to think.”
