Yigal Amir graffiti shocks Tel Aviv City Hall

A municipal spokesman said the city "condemns this act and views it with the utmost gravity."

Tel Aviv municipal employees were shocked last week to discover that someone had graffitied the words "Yigal Amir is righteous" on a toilet wall inside the City Hall building, just meters above the site where the gunman murdered Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995, reports www.mynet.co.il. The Hebrew words were scrawled in large letters on the wall of the 11th-floor toilet with a permanent marker. A municipal spokesman said the city "condemns this act and views it with the utmost gravity," and added that the graffiti was erased as soon as it was discovered.
