He said it
Eyal Arad, one of Ehud Olmert's leading campaign propaganda strategists, voiced incitement against Benjamin Netanyahu during the elections (and another one, Reuven Adler, also went overboard). And here's an article I scanned from the free Hebrew daily, Yisraeli, from May 23, 2006, that talks about it:
Translation:
Translation: EYAL ARAD: "LET'S GO KILL BIBI"It's clear that these are simply vulgar people who don't give a damn that they make a mockery out of diplomacy and good conduct. One more reason why everything must be done to depose Olmert and his gang.
There's been a shock in the political spectrum following the film "All the campaign's men" that was broadcast yesterday on Channel 10, in which the advertising specialist Reuven Adler, a close associate and aide of Ariel Sharon, describes Amir Peretz as a "dwarf", claimed that the national anthem's words were "hara-bara" [note: the first two syllables translate roughly in English as the S-bomb] described dealing with social problems as "that nonsense", and nicknames Avigdor Lieberman as "this trash", all this in front of the camera.
Even his partner in the "Kadima" campaign, Eyal Arad, doesn't mince words in the film, especially when he's talking about Likud chairman Benjamin Netanyahu. And this is what Arad said: "let's go kill Bibi! We'll put our foot on his neck and press! Here's an opportunity to smash his mo-mother."
A senoir Likud official said this morning, "It's sad that these cynical, profanely violent people determined how things would look during the years Ariel Sharon was in control, and these are the people who pushed him to retreat from the Gaza Strip."
