"

said Education Minister Dr. Yifat Shasha Bitton at a youth rally in memory of Yitzhak Rabin, which was held today (Sunday) at the Rabin Center in Tel Aviv.

As you may recall, the Minister recently revealed in News 12 that she had received threats on her life, due to her position at the time against vaccines in schools.

As a result, security was attached to it.

She added: "The bullets that pierced Rabin's body also pierced the whole of Israeli society. We did not imagine that such a terrible thing could happen in Israel. We thought we knew how to argue without crossing the boundaries of legitimate discourse, we thought we were protected from political assassination. .

Discussion circles at the rally,

Shasha Bitton stressed: "Disagreements are natural, legitimate and in fact inevitable, but we must know how to manage them while maintaining unity and mutual respect towards others. We must take responsibility for the nature of the conversation, responsibility for style. We must understand, remember and remember, words that come from The mouth can be an opening for actions. "

Yitzhak Rabin's daughter, Dalia, said: "Responsibility is fueled by memory, it is a founding value in a democratic society that wants to survive and develop and be more moral and more stable. Each and every one of us can be and sometimes should be the leader of her section. We are in the same boat "Because we are all partners in society and in the Israeli state and that the responsibility for the peace of the State of Israel, Israeli democracy and Israeli society rests on the shoulders of us all."

Discourse circles at the rally,

In a letter sent by Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi to soldiers and commanders, he wrote: "The danger of division has not passed and may intensify.

The confinement of a person within the network of his group imprisons him, blocks his thought, prevents a broad vision and makes him a narrow-minded, one-dimensional and intolerant person.

A safe country with a value-based and prosperous society is most important of all. "
