Gitai has said that "the men that made possible the killing of our prime minister are still around... I am alarmed by the growing existence of a violent Jewish religious underground in the heart of Israeli secular society." The 64-year-old director, whose previous films have explored the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and other aspects of the Middle East, told AFP in an interview the **vember 4, 1995 assassination of Rabin was "an open wound in Israel's contemporary history." Rabin was shot after giving a speech to tens of thousands of peace demonstrators in Tel Aviv. "My goal wasn't to create a personality cult around Rabin, neither to replace him by an actor," Gitai, who was born in the **rthern Israeli city of Haifa and has lived in France, told AFP.
