Nachson Waxman was kidnapped and killed in year Samech of the next cycle. Terror surged. Twenty two people were slaughtered in Tel Aviv's bus 5, and nineteen young people were slaughtered at Beit Lid. Some six years before, the Berlin wall had fallen. Some ten years before, Meir Kahane stood before the Knesset. Some six years after this Samech, the Intifada started and the Twin Towers fell.
