Today, February 10, is the 29th anniversary of the murder of Emil Grunzweig. Grunzweig was a reserves paratrooper in the IDF, who fought in the Six-Day War, and served as a reserve officer in the War of Attrition, the Yom Kippur War, and the 1982 Lebanon War. After his discharge, he became an educator and peace activist. Emil was killed during a 1983 Peace Now rally when right-wing activist Yona Avrushmi lobbed a grenade into the crowd.
At the time, many in Israel pointed out that the writing was on the wall. Political hate-speech sizzled and nationalistic zealots were gaining power. Today, the rhetoric is once again being pumped viciously high and much of the writing appears on the walls of Facebook. Peace Now today published a poster showing some of the most dangerous pages on Facebook - those stirring the worst and nastiest of impulses targeting Israeli peace movements and other progressives.

Pals shud NOT communicate with enemies or allow
them to hack into Pal personal or organizational
sites: Perhaps someone trustworthy can create a
'common firewall', a sort of 'door' thru which
Pals and their friends can communicate without
letting Izzy creeps invade or vandalize?..This
wud make a good topic for a PalComp meeting?..
