- One week before Nov. 4, the tenth anniversary of the
Rabin murder, the country's largest circulation newspaper, Yediot Achronot
publishes a poll:
-
- Do you believe in the conspiracy theory about Rabin's
murder?
-
- Yes 25%
- Not sure 9%
-
- It was the lowest result of five polls taken in the past
four years but it shocked the nation. As Yediot wrote; "Unbelievable,
but one in four Israelis believe Rabin was shot by the Shabak." In
fact, the figure was more. Yediot's poll included 20% Arab respondents,
who are utterly unaware of the issue. Factor them in with the not sures
and over 40% of the nation's Jews no longer believe the government.
-
- Sunday, five days before Nov. 4, Yigal Amir's prosecutor
Pnina Guy admits the second shot to Rabin was from point blank range, a
fact I exposed almost a decade before. Still, it is redemption for me.
Since Amir never shot point blank, he announced that he wanted a new trial:
- Yigal Amir, who never denied assassinating Prime
- Minister Yitzchak Rabin, is now strongly considering
- requesting a new trial - now that the case prosecutor
- has raised some major questions herself.
- Atty. Penina Guy, the prosecutor in Amir's trial in
- early 1996, said Sunday morning that some aspects of
- the murder are still not clear to her: "It's still
a
- mystery to me how he managed to shoot three bullets
- and at the same time even approach Rabin, and,
- according to the ballistic evidence, actually touch
- Rabin's jacket for the third bullet."
-
- However, Amir himself was surprised by the end of
- Prosecutor Guy's statement. According to his wife,
- Larissa Trimbobler, Yigal was surprised to hear that
- the murderer came as near as Rabin's jacket. "Yigal
- has always said that this is not true," she told
- Arutz-7 today. "He did not approach Rabin; rather,
- Rabin got further and further away from him. Yigal
- also says that he certainly never touched Rabin or his
- jacket."

-
- However, it was not a day before Amir's webmaster and
handler Mike Guzovsky changed this stance to one of ugly incitement. Now,
according to Amir's Shabak-run website, anyone who was in favor of disengagement,
also deserved to be slaughtered.The Amir issue was ended, but not before
Shimon Peres used it for maximum advantage:
-
- Yigal Amirís mother said: ëThose who were
in favor of the
- disengagement should be hung in the streets. What rubbish!
Who is she?
- And who are the hilltop youth? And rabbis give orders
to the army? Who
- appointed them? On this issue, we must be the most blunt,
determined,
- united and serious as we can be. There will be no concessions
here and no
- looking the other way. This is vital not only for the
IDF but for the
- existence of the state.
-
- My webmaster David Rutstein no longer consults with me.
He added two provocative images of Peres to the site, one behind bars,
the other with his hands dripping in blood. I wasn't in favor but he promised
results, and they did come in. Major media from Channel 10 -TV to both
Maariv and Yediot's websites condemned the images and the state attorney
general presented them to the Knesset cabinet to decide whether to prosecute
or not:

-
- Tuesday, Nov 1, I became legitimate. I was invited to
appear on a highly respected and staid tv program, Law And Judgement. This
is a prime time show on the government's second channel. The situation
is three prominent attorneys interviewing guests with relevant legal issues
to share. The guest before me was the new state attorney general.
-
- He was interviewed alone and I assumed I was to be. But
no. Fifteen minutes before the start of the program I was informed I would
be sharing the show with prosecutor Pnina Guy and former head of the Mossad
Danny Yatom.
-
- It was now five against one. I had been set up.
-
- But, as numerous viewers told me after, I won.
-
- Guy had backtracked from her doubts of two days before
as she was obviously scripted to do. Yatom was all prepared to smear every
rabbi, religious Jew and anyone from the Right.
-
- But I brought evidence and had it filmed before I began
my shpiel. I was not given a lot of time, and under great pressure I showed
Israel the ambulance beside Rabin's car, the watch showing how Shamgar
lied about the murder time, the infamous songsheet. I defended myself with
the facts and my co-guests did not even try to answer them.
-
- After sitting quietly for nearly ten minutes while Yatom
spewed ugly venom against the supposed inciters of the Rabin murder, I
became brazen. I told the host,"Do you know he just slandered half
the country and you let him?"
-
- After the show, neither Yatom nor Guy would accept my
book as a present. But I knew a little about Yatom, so here I am telling
the former head of the Mossad, "Are you aware that the London Observor
wrote that Netanyahu gave you the Mossad job in return for silence about
Rabin?" Yatom turned red and replied, "I already had the job
from him."
-
- That night, somebody decided I was serious enough to
sit on the same panel as the country's most famous prosecutor and the former
head of the Mossad. Even odder, they agreed to sit with me.
-
- And the next night was just as significant. I was invited
as a guest on Channel Ten's prime time talk show, London And Kirschenbaum.
The guest before me was Ami Ayalon, former head of the Shabak. My, what
company I was suddenly keeping.
-
- Yaron London is the nation's most influential literary
critic and Moti Kirschenbaum was chairman of the Israel Broadcasting Authority
at the time of Rabin's murder. In my book, I lambast him for authorizing
two staged reports about Yigal Amir and Avishai Raviv's phoney organization,
Eyal.
-
- And he was hopping mad about that. He had his say and
I didn't think I'd get mine. But I reminded him that other guests were
permitted to speak freely and I was off and running. I presented an overview
of Israel television's role in creating Eyal and Amir and he agreed that
mistakes were made. Most important of all, he admitted the reports on Eyal
were staged.
-
- London interrupted and told me, "I'm really mad
at you."
-
- I smirked broadly and answered, "Why aren't I surprised?"
-
- He continued, "Why wasn't I in your book for something?"
-
- I replied, "Send a director to stage tv reports
for the government and next time you will be."
-
- London, the preferred literary critic of the country,
then lifted my Rabin book to the camera and recommended it as an alternative
to his way of thinking.
-
- I won.
-
- And I kept winning. The major web sites suddenly wrote
very positive things about my work and most of the reactions were highly
positive.

-
- 9:30, Thursday, November 3, the conspiracy finally goes
public for good. Channel two broadcast a one hour documentary proving Rabin
was shot a third time and from the front. This is only my core claim for
the past nine years. Rabin's clothing had been sitting untouched in the
prime minister's archive for the past decade. The filmmakers retrieved
them and found a frontal bullet hole in the shirt and undershirt. It wasn't
where I said they'd be but now my central claims that Rabin had been shot
point blank was verified by Pnina Guy, and from the front, by Channel Two.
I couldn't watch the show properly so many people called to congratulate
me. One complaint: the film used so much of my discoveries ie. the change
in the time of the murder, Prof. Hiss reporting the hole in the front of
Rabin's shirt, Health Minister Sneh reporting three bullets etc. and gave
me no credit.
-
- But it didn't matter. The viewers knew I had won, we
had won.
-
- The film was followed by an hour panel discussion where
Hiss' lies finally caught up with him and Sneh tried to obfuscate his statement
on the night of the murder by attacking the right wing inciters. This time,
everyone agreed he sounded hollow.
-
- Most important of all, the Left, for once showed integrity.
Ronen Bergman of Haaretz eloquently demanded a reinvestigation of the Rabin
murder, "to dispel once and for all the conspiracy theories threatening
our democracy." Of course if that third bullet hole is for real, Amir
didn't cause it, so he'll get his conspiracy whether he likes it or not.
And the next day, Tom Segev of Haaretz demanded that every point of the
conspiracy theories be re-examined.
-
- Haaretz became our ally? I never thought I'd live to
see the day.

-
- Friday, Nov. 4 was the best anniversary Yitzhak Rabin
could have ever wished for. His personal bodyguard, Dror Yitzhaki appeared
on Channel Two with his own deep suspicions of the Shabak's involvement
in the murder. He joined the media chorus to reinvestigate the Rabin murder.
-
- And what a chorus it was this year. The Friday papers
presented excellent long analyses of the conspiracy. The chorus included
Makor Rishon, Yated Neeman, and Hashavuah. As expected the Jerusalem Post
barely mentioned the number one issue of the nation this Nov. 4. But best
of all was Maariv's 4 page investigation of the conspiracy claims. Reporter
Navah Tsuriel did a fair and excellent overview of the conspiracy claims
and found that many were not wanting. And congratulations to her for finally
solving the riddle of the death of Yoav Kuriel. Yes, he was a Rabin bodyguard
and yes, he was murdered. She got eye-witnesses at the burial society to
speak out after ten years.
-
- I never thought I'd live to see the day when not just
Haaretz, but Channel Two and Maariv stopped protecting the establishment
and started acting like journalists. I never thought I'd ever see the day
when Channels 33 and 10 invited me to prime time programs to debate the
establishment.
-
- I never thought I'd see the day when the Israeli public
would wake up and admit Rabin was murdered in a political coup.
-
- I never thought I would live to see myself vindicated.
-
- I never thought we would actually win.
-
- I never thought I'd be so glad I was wrong.
-
- end
-
- And look how flimsily the foreign media is covering all
this.
