Rivka leading protest in 1995

Here is the photo I wanted to show during my talk.  It shows Rivka leading a protest in Oct. 1995 against the government and the Oslo Accords, which turned over control of most of the Gaza Strip and large parts of Judea and Samaria to terrorist organizations.  Rivka is leading a flock of sheep into the center of King George Street in Jerusalem;  the demonstration's slogan was that the government was "leading us like sheep to the slaughter".
