Rabbi who became mascot for Gaza genocide honoured by Israel on independence day

Rabbi who became mascot for Gaza genocide honoured by Israel on independence day Rabbi Avraham Zarbiv, whose name became synonymous with destroying Palestinian homes in Gaza, will light a torch at Israel ’s national independence day ceremony - one of the country’s highest civilian honours. The annual ceremony, held on 21 April, celebrates the establishment of Israel in 1948 (an event known to Palestinians as the Nakba - or catastrophe - which ethnically cleansed over 750,000 people). Miri Regev, the populist right-wing transport minister, chose the rabbi as one of those to light a torch this year.
