A change in public opinion? Maybe.
The organizers of the annual Rabin Memorial did everything to keep a low political profile, but the banners brought by activists expressed what this crowd stood for: LEAVE THE TERRITORIES / SHARON GO HOME! This year, also the streets around the big Tel-Avivian square were totally filled, and even the most sceptical estimates spoke of 100 000. And our stickers - with the photo of the Rabin-Arafat handshake - were grabbed from our hands and glued to their clothes especially by the many young.

#Haaretz: `But the banners were all political, and very specific: "Leave the territories - save the country," "The Geneva Accord - New Hope."'
