Rabbi Kahane' first book was called "Never Again". It was a slogan he coined in regard to the Holocaust – that never again will Jews sit by quietly. Unfortunately, this slogan has been stolen, misused and manipulated for all kinds of purposes. The latest and most obscene example exists in Israel now. In every post office in Israel, a massive sign hangs, selling stamps honoring Yitchak Rabin on his 10th Yahrzeit. Above a picture of a young Yitzchak Rabin, in bright red letters is the slogan "Never Again" – that is, never again will we allow political assassinations in Israel.
Side comment: the other problem with this stamp, is that people keep spitting on the wrong side.
