rabin was his own man and was honestly seeking peace while keeping israel strong. Sadly he got sucked in by peres and beilin with their gullibility in believeing the arabs wanted peace which they do not. Bibi is a blowtorch bs artist and if he incited, then he is not blameless. He himself bled in war and lost hisbrother so he didn't beleive beilin and peres and neither do I, not one bit.You cannot will peace with people who don't want it. Oslo has cost israel over 2000 dead and 10 times some severely injured. Who should israel follow as you want- olmert, a convicted crook who didn't do any combat and cost israel 150 dead in nasrollah's war which was avoidable. cry for your brother fine. Call bibi a bs artist and inciter-fine. But don't tell me about olso and peace which are hogwash 100%. israelis are good people. Even your brother never advocated the concessions offered by barak and olmert. Maybe you ought to think about it., And finally, a little humility as your brother waas not perfect. On the ever of the 67 war, he couldn't take the pressure and had a setback and others ran the war while he was basically in bed. So do not make him asaint though he was a good man. But he was wrong on Oslo period.

... and if most Talkbackers accomplished 1% of what Rabin did for the State of Israel during his long service, they'd have some credibility to enter the discussion.

The War of Independance and the six day War were two of the greatest miracles of Jewish history and Rabin played great roles in both.The Atlena Incident was a disgrace due mainly to BenGurions stubborn ego but the Irgun in Haifa and Dar Yassin and the Arab Retaliations in the Haifa Oil Refinary Messacre and the Murder of Doctors and Nurses in Jerusalem three days after Dar Yassin became the dynamic of the viscious cycle.The 1982 war in Lebanon led by the Bulldozer with many civilian Arab casualties and Shatilla and Sabraa massacres by the ex Vichy Falange exemplified a very low point for the Jewish Israeli tho TelAviv to its enduring credit protested enmasse in revulsion

It is ok to dream but the reality is cruel. The Middle East is a harsh, harsh place. Given an opportunity the Arabs would kill off all Jews.

although not as dangerous as working at at postal services in the US! Why should only plain citizens die for their government's mistakes.....?

Two of my friends built and carried the coffin at Kikar Raanana. They were protesting Rabin's policies of appeasement of terror leading to the death of Zionism. They were not advocating the death of anyone. Benjamin Netanyahu was not present and in no way connected with the demonstration or the coffin. In a real, true democracy people are allowed to demonstrate and voice their opinions. Violence and incitement, both from the left and right should not be condoned.
