Former Meretz Knesset Member Naomi Chazan led left-wing protestors in shouts for a "civilian uprising" against violence during a demonstration Thursday night outside the home of Prof. Zev Sternhall, who was lightly injured in a pipe bomb blast last week. Similar calls by right-wing elements for a civilian uprising have been met by the media and political leaders with calls for charges of incitement.
"This is the beginning of a civilian uprising," she told more than 100 demonstrators. She did not define what she meant by "uprising" but added, "If violence has become the norm, we have become lost."
