and the guinea pig momentarily behind bars released, perhaps 80% Israelis wouldn't hate Rabin and his gangsters so much.

Regardless of our viewpoints on Oslo, that agreement was so divisive to the Israeli polity, an American politician (I'll use American politician because the Israeli left worships America) would have disowned it had it been some sort of US domestic matter. But not Mr. Rabin. His obstinacy, chutzpah, and effectively, his arrogance, ensured his untimely demise. An absolute shame, to be sure but Oslo was too failure-prone, too big, too dangerous, to have been treated in the fashion that it was, which is to say, it was more or less rammed downed the throat of the Israeli people. Even to question the "wisdom" of that agreement was to ensure a scornful look of mistrust and derision from one of its proponents. Its ancillary effects... a willingness to negotiate the division of Jerusalem, a trading of the Golan for "peace"... those were dangerous times. Fortunately all that is over now and we have moved on. Why don't you move on too, Mr Haber?

And how come he extolls Rabin's "he'll show them",those seething protestors ? They were his people,not the pedophile-terrorist Arafat to whom Rabin sang love song seconds before his death.

he imported terrorists into the west bank and gaza, gave them guns (yes, he did - through a third party) and started the palestinians on their way to "liberating" all of israel (as evidenced by their actions then and now). he did this all with arrogance fitting a despot - which he was.

the assasination of rabin is indeed a terrible stain on some elements of the jewish people. Peres more or less foisted this empty peace deal on rabin who decided to try it. It could work with lichtenstein or switzerland, but not with arabs. Peres and his poodles are the ones who have harmed israel for years. Haber- we all hoped oslo would work. Buses, restaurants,cars exploded parts of jews as arafat chuckled behind the scene making a fool out of peres.Add to that gaza rockets and that is why I am cynical about any peace deal with arabs. What you have is a cold armistice policed by a gun and that is it. But some jews whether the self haters of haaretz, the squeamish journalists, the rabbinic haredi who don't do army service but run to the idf and police when threatened, these combine to produce an amir who did a really bad deed. But I can tell you, and rabin's daugher and family that it was peres, beilin and the other poodles who put rabin in a difficult spot. peres has been getting a free ride. Direct your concerns to him.

Out of desperation to remain in power appeasing the failed leftist mentality was the choice both Arik and Itzhak have chosen commemorating their transgressions is certainly not a good sign for the nation.!!!

this guys knows about the covert op and cover up. has the time come to reveal what really happened?

Eitan: Rabin's Oslo brought suffering and death to Jews throughout the land. Jewish blood ran in the streets. Rabin's Oslo proposed the mass explusion of Israel's most patriotic Jews from their homes, the destruction of their livlihoods and their communities, so the land could be given to our most frightful enemies. And you didn't understand why Rabin might be hated?

You won't get an answer either way.

that Rabin's staff were too busy to grasp the increasing fury at the surge of terrorism that followed Oslo ! and II. Also the wholesale theft of Israeli property, like the tens of thousands of cars that vanished into the PA. Above all, the indifference shown by Rabin to the suffering. Such as when a settler was murdered when buying eggs (as for years) from a local Palestinian shop: Rabin's comment was that he should not have gone to buy cheap eggs! Murdered Israelis were written off by Rabin and Peres as "qorbanot ha-shalom" ("sacrifices for peace" or "victims of peace"), further infuriating people. Ezer Weizman, as President, DID grasp what people were feeling; he coined that remark about the Mitsubishi. But Rabin's staff failed to grasp it and tell their boss to start showing more sensitivity.

I feel sorry/sad that Rabin do not understand who he was.......... I actually only heard more about him in wars. He forgotten that he was a Jew. He said that Jews is the same as everyone else in this world. No I'm a gentile.....one of the human race. But Jews are not gentiles........If after 2,000 years and they come back together is very special/significant otherwise there is no need to have a country call Israel/Israelite/Jews! The destiny of history failed to wipe out the Jewish race, today you need to destroy the whole world in order to destroy Israel. That is a fact whether we like it or not! God bless Israel

It was just after the USSR devolved and and atmosphere of hope for peace was sparked. But human nature is often a Feral Flawed Survival of the Fittest despite unbelievable medico technological advances . Hamas and Fatah murdered and severly injured by Bombs thousands of Jews -and though it ought have been massively reduced by both stringent Defense and ruthless attack this did not happen . Then alQuida the Twin Towers and Pentagon now ISiS and Shia militia and the brutal Shia Guards .
