Why this man spent 3 days outside Benjamin Netanyahu' s house

Dina RickmanNov 06, 2014 In 1994 Yitzhak Frankenthal’s son Arik, an IDF soldier, was murdered by Palestinian terrorists. In the two decades since, Frankenthal has become a peace activist, setting set up the Fund For Reconciliation, Tolerance & Peace in memory of Arik and the Bereaved Family Forum to promote understanding between grieving Israeli and Palestinians families. This week he spent three days standing opposite Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s house, mostly in protest at the recent unrest at the Jewish and Arab holy site of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

They’re reacting.” Yitzhak Frankenthal in front of Netanyahu's house. He was wearing the cagoule because it was raining.
