Story highlights The son of a former Israeli Prime Minister who was assassinated wrote an op ed about the consequence of violent political rhetoric

Warns of "parallels" between Israel of the 1990s and the U.S. today

(CNN) Yuval Rabin, whose father, Yitzhak Rabin, was assassinated while serving as Prime Minister of Israel, criticized Donald Trump for appealing to "Second Amendment people" in a speech and warned that the words that politicians use can incite violence and undermine democracy.

"Trump's words are an incitement to the type of political violence that touched me personally," Rabin wrote in USAToday.

He said that Trump's appeal to "Second Amendment people" to stop Hillary Clinton -- comments that were criticized as a call for violence against Clinton, something Trump denied -- "were a new level of ugliness in an ugly campaign season."

Referencing his father, who was shot and killed by an extremist amid political tension in Israel in 1995, Rabin condemned Trump's aggressive rhetoric.
