Who murdered Yitzhak Rabin
by Barry Chamish

I know who did it. In February 1996, journalist Yehoshua Meiri told me who did it and why. I arranged to have his claims videotaped. So certain was he of his information, that he tracked Joel down in England to let him know the facts. Meiri insisted that Peres organized the murder with the connivance of the French government and secret services. He said the Americans and British were furious and unless Peres abandoned his French allies “all Hell would break out here.” Which is just what happened as Israel was bled by suicide bombers within a week.

Yet, for a long while I followed the wrong trail, to America. The evidence I had gathered proved Rabin was rebelling against his American controllers during the last two months of his life and that Ehud Barak had made sinister alliances with the same gang at the Council For Foreign Relations that was becoming progressively less satisfied with Rabin’s independence. It looked like a motive for murder, but I had to admit that new information pointed to France.

A French journalist, Pierre Lurcat, reminded readers in his Jewish student paper, that President Mitterand had once faked his own assassination in a scandal that haunted him his whole career called the Observatoire Affair. The sympathy which arose from the phoney murder attempt vaulted Mitterand’s career to the top. Lurcat claimed Peres and Mitterand discussed how to do the same thing for Rabin to save his failing peace process with the PLO. Pierre told me, “I was only using my logic, I had no solid evidence. Then the authorities came down so hard on me and the newspaper that I surmised I got it right. I was a law student at the time, I’m an attorney now, and the French media turned me into a lunatic.”

Then I was reminded that Peres ally, the secretive French media mogul, Jean Frydman financed the rally where Rabin was murdered. And that Shabak chief Carmi Gillon spent the night of the assassination in Paris. And then there was that bizarre incident in early 1996 when Jacques Chirac went bananas in the Old City of Jerusalem. Peres had sent Yoram Rubin, everybody’s prime suspect as Rabin’s downfall, to guard Chirac. His French bodyguards informed him who he was and Chirac ran to the nearest reporters nearly crying that he did not need Israeli bodyguards. That he’d feel safer with Arab guards protecting him.

Rabin`s magic disappearing hole
by Barry Chamish

It is 10:05 PM, Nov. 4,1995. Yitzhak Rabin is on the examination table at Ichilov Hospital. He has no pulse or heartbeat. He has been shot twice in his limousine by his bodyguard Yoram Rubin and it appears he did his job successfully. Nonetheless, doctors Mordechai Gutman and Nir Cohen infuse Rabin with an enormous amount of blood and apply heart massage. Their expertise does the trick: Rabin’s pulse returns to 130, his heartbeat to 90. He will likely survive. Lying on a bed near him in the trauma dept. is Yoram Rubin with a mild wound caused by a bullet grazing his arm. His gun is in his holster. Dr. Gabi Barabash, director general of the hospital arrives with Rabin’s office manager, Eitan Haber, now an editor of Yediot Ahronot. Haber converses with Shimon Peres in the hall while Dr. Barabash enters the treatment room and examines Rabin. After his examination, he walks to the hall to tell Peres the good news: Rabin is going to make it

Peres loses control. He picks up his cellular phone and barks orders. He then commands Barabash to clear the trauma room of all medical personnel. The medical staff obey, all except Dr. Surkin. He shouts that they’ll have to kill him before he leaves his patients unattended. He is removed by force.
Peres now orders Haber to, “get in there and get rid of all of Rabin’s things.” Haber rushes in the room, collects Rabin’s blood-soaked possessions and absconds with them. Among his loot is a songsheet found in Rabin’s jacket pocket.
Peres gives the final order to the highest ranking Shabak officer present, possibly the head of Shabak personnel, known only as Agent D (dalet). To this day his name remains the most closely guarded identity secret of the Rabin assassination

Agent D enters the treatment room, walks up to Rubin and, in a menacing voice tells him, “You screwed up. Now finish him off before he starts telling people what you did.” “You think I can get away with it? It’s crazy. Another shot will be noticed,” answers Rubin. “Not necessarily. Shoot him from the front opposite the back wound and they’ll think it’s the same shot. That is an order from the top. “A crazy plan but Rubin removes his gun from the holster, attaches the silencer he used in the limousine, approaches Rabin’s bed, puts the barrel on his naked chest and blasts. There is no longer any danger that Rabin will talk. Agent D grabs Rubin’s pistol saying, “I’m taking that. Get back in your bed.” The weapon is never seen again. Outside, the surgical team has gathered and Rabin is rushed to the operating theater. Of the seventeen man and woman team, only four saw Rabin when he arrived at reception. They are the only ones to know that Rabin’s chest wound has changed dramatically. Now, there is an entry wound from the front which shatters the spinal cord. Dr. Gutman records the wound in three separate documents and Dr. Barabash announced it on television as the cause of Rabin’s death.

The murderers panic. They have to re-arrange the evidence to suit the new wound. They contact the police coroner, Dr. Yehuda Hiss and order him to write that a bullet pierced Rabin’s clothing from the front. He does so but makes a damning error: he writes that the bullet hole was 6 mm when Rabin’s other wounds were caused by 9 mm bullets. The terrified assassination squad rifles through Rabin’s possessions that Haber absconded with. They find a bloodless sheet of paper in Rabin’s jacket pocket. It is the songsheet that he sang from on the podium. They decide to turn it into evidence. Blood, whose we don’t know yet, was poured on the sheet at the point in the middle where the sheet was folded into four nearly equal quarters. Now a bullet hole had to be added and a round black stain was slowly but clumsily made in one of the quarters with a lit cigarette. “Is that good enough?,” the agent asked his commander. “It’ll have to do. Give it to Haber and let him show it off. It should convince the public that Rabin was shot from the front.”

Haber did as he was told and at Rabin’s funeral he showed the sheet to the world, along with it’s bullet hole in one quarter. Shimon Peres, in his eulogy, noted that Rabin was shot through the Song Of Peace. The myth began. And so did the problems. No witness saw the alleged assassin, Yigal Amir, shoot from the front. And then a film of the assassination emerged which proved that Amir never shot Rabin from the front. Then witness after witness testified to the Shamgar Commission Of Inquiry that Amir shot Rabin in the back. Yet, there was a hole in the bloody songsheet. If Rabin was only shot in the back, where did the blood come from? And Rabin folded the sheet in four. If a bullet went through it, there should have been four holes. Peres chose to ignore all the witnesses and the findings of the Shamgar Commission. In a 1997 PBS interview, he insisted that he was in Rabin’s room, saw the body and one of the three bullet holes in Rabin passed through the songsheet. He chose the wrong strategy. Shamgar and the government had already concluded Rabin was shot only in the back. Peres insisted that he was also shot in the front. He, of course, told the truth. But only the murderers knew about the hole in the sheet because they put it there. So how did Peres know?!?

This songsheet and its bullet hole had now become a major problem and in October 2001, the newspaper Makor Rishon decided to finally investigate. The sheet is stored in the Prime Minister’s Archive in Jerusalem and Makor Rishon’s reporter asked to see it. He was told it was unavailable for viewing because of security considerations. Why, asked the reporter, is a songsheet top secret? Alright, replied the archivist, we’ll compromise. We’ll send you a photo of the songsheet. Give us a day to photograph it. At press time, the photo arrived and was published in the newspaper. To the editors’ amazement, the bullet hole was gone. How very convenient for Peres and his gang. Now Peres could simply explain that he was wrong about “the bullet which pierced Rabin’s heart through the Song Of Peace.” Except for a couple of problems. One, Makor Rishon phoned Haber who insisted there was a hole in the sheet he held at Rabin’s funeral. And two, there are photos of Haber displaying it. So here they are. In the first jpg, we see the songsheet as it was photographed on November 7, 1995. In the second jpg, we see the songsheet as it exists today in the Prime Minister’s Archive. A magic disappearing hole. Does anyone need better proof of blatant evidence tampering?

LEAH RABIN SUPPORTS REOPENING INVESTIGATION INTO HUSBAND’S ASSASSINATION
by Barry Chamish

Exclusive Interview Part of Special foreignTV.com site ‘Peace at the Crossroads’
NEW YORK, Aug. 9 /PRNewswire/ — Leah Rabin backs the reopening of investigations into the murder of her husband, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin because “many questions remain in the air” about his death and need to be resolved, she believes. In an interview in Tel Aviv with foreignTV.com chief correspondent Peter Arnett, and airing this week at the site, Leah Rabin said she is concerned that “there has not been enough investigation as to how this whole story really came about.” Mrs. Rabin backs her son’s plea that the newly elected Labor Government, headed by Ehud Barak, reopen the investigation into Rabin’s death. Prime Minister Rabin was shot and killed in downtown Tel Aviv November 4, 1995. A young Jewish right wing extremist has been imprisoned for the murder. Rabin’s widow criticized what she called the vitriolic opposition political campaign against her husband that preceded his death, particularly the role of then opposition leader and later prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, especially for his attending a rally where a coffin painted with the slogan, “Rabin the murderer of zionism” was displayed. “Then when someone takes a gun and feels he is fulfilling a messianic mission, how can you be surprised?” Mrs. Rabin asked. Leah Rabin said she supports her son’s demand made in a recent interview for further investigation of the murder. “I agree with my son. For sure, there are still more questions than answers about how could a murder like this have taken place and why did it happen and how could it have happened?” Rabin’s interview is part of a special foreignTV.com minisite, “Peace at the Crossroads,” launching Monday, August 9, featuring interviews and coverage at a crucial juncture in the peace process from foreignTV.com’s Chief Correspondent, Peter Arnett.

..And suddenly died.

In October 1999, Leah Rabin went public. She appeared on the IBA Channel One 5 PM news program, A New Evening, and recommended my book, Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin. “The public should leaf through this book,” she declared. And then she dropped her bombshell; she supported the reopening of the investigation into her husband’s murder. A year later she was dead of cancer. Of course, I suspected foul play but kept silent on the matter to negate the response that I see conspiracies everywhere. In the winter of 2001, I gave a lecture at a home in Petakh Tikveh to a national religious group. At the conclusion, a gentleman took me aside and informed me, “I’m an oncologist and I work part of the week at Ichilov Hospital. I saw that Leah Rabin was given the wrong treatment and she was going to die unless that changed. I spoke to the department head and he told me not to butt in.”

I did not publicize this conversation because it wasn’t corroborated. On Sat. March 20, it was. I attended a small gathering of self-admitted Mapai left-wingers on Perakh Street in East Rishon LeTzion. The hostess asked if I thought Leah Rabin perished before her time. I recounted the testimony I had heard in Petakh Tikveh. She blanched and became very agitated. “My brother is an oncologist at Ichilov and he would not have attended your Petakh Tikveh lecture. He told me the same thing, that Leah Rabin was given nothing more than placebos for her condition. She was murdered by neglect. He also complained and was told to keep his mouth shut if he knew what was good for him.” Recently, the Dutch-Israeli journalist and author of A Trek For Trinnie (Gefen Publishers), Lea Wiesje de Lange made a discovery about the last days of Yitzhak Rabin, which confirmed my published conclusion that Rabin had undergone a transformation and would no longer agree to lead his nation into suicide. That was the primary reason why Shimon Peres was given the go-ahead by his foreign handlers to violently replace Rabin. Rabin made the fatal error of returning to Judaism. Lea’s letters to me are self-explanatory:
“Yesterday I heard from a friend who lives in Jerusalem some facts I never heard anywhere, not even from you. It is about Yitzchak Rabin who in his last year became suddenly hungry for Judaism. The man wanted to know, to learn and went, always after sunset, to a yeshiva to listen to shi’urim. Rather soon his political friends and comrades found him out and told him sternly that this was not done, he went too far. Either he left his monstrous new ways or they would publicize the unspeakable that their hero, their leader was a Jew after all, instead of a nice Mapainik. Not long after those happenings Rabin was killed.
“The Rav in question is not one of those Rabbanim who works in the field of returning Jews to roots but gave Rabin an address for the desired shi’urim. The address is “Arachim” a well known institution in Jerusalem. Mossad “Arachim” publish a journal known all over the Jewish world. Remarkable is that Rabin was found out, resulting in the wrath of the left turning against him 2 weeks before his violent death…
“You remember what I told you about Rabin and his sudden craving for Torah? Well I got some more info now. Rabin turned to the Hama’ayan Yeshivat Hanegev in Netivot, to their Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Yissachar Meier. It was this Rabbi Yisaschar Meier who advised him to go and study at the Arachim Institution.
“Arachim was established in Israel in 1979 to provide an intellectual response to the thirst of a growing secular Israeli public who were seeking to understand the basic philosophical concepts of Judaism. Arachim addresses basic issues in Jewish philosophy including Science and Religion – Is there an internal contradiction? “The authenticity of the Bible,” Practical Mitzvoth- are they relevant in modern society? and many more.”
And what was Rabin’s reaction to his newly discovered Judaism? He tried first to overturn the worst clauses of the Oslo Accord, and finally to put a stop to the atrocity altogether. Amnon Lord reports in Makor Rishon:
In his last address to the Knesset, one month before his assassination, the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin outlined his concept of defensible borders for Israel. There were elements that had nothing to do with security but with Israel’s national history, e.g., his insistence that Jerusalem remain united under Israeli sovereignty. He also spoke of the need to retain settlement blocs and the Jordan Rift Valley “in the widest sense of the term.” This was Rabin’s legacy to the people of Israel.

On March 19, 04, Makor Rishon reported: “Shimon Peres understood after the 1977 elections that he was not electable as prime minister. Since then his strategy has been to work through proxies. He manipulated his current leadership of the Labor Party knowing that he could force Sharon to do his bidding.” And if Sharon doesn’t, he will suffer the same fate as Rabin. Sharon has been ordered to pull out of Gaza and he knows what will happen to him if he doesn’t. Like Rabin, he might be willing to sacrifice himself for his country, but not his family. Leah Rabin and her daughter Dahlia demanded that the truth of Yitzhak Rabin’s murder be exposed. Leah Rabin was dead within a year and Dahlia is now afflicted with the same disease that killed her mother. Omri and Gilad Sharon are both fighting corruption charges that could land them in prison. Omri was video-taped accepting bribes, adding, “Maybe this will be enough money to get me out of here.” Adir Zik, the courageous journalist who devoted himself to getting to the Rabin murder truth, also sadly, dying of cancer, has traced the framing of the Sharon family to the Shabak and the Oslo Mafia. At a speech given in Maaleh Shomron on March 24, 04, Zik revealed his investigation of the Cyril Kern bribe, one of the three scandals hanging over the Sharon family. To cover up illegal campaign financing, Omri Sharon with his father’s blessing, accepted a loan from a South African businessman named Cyril Kern. Adir Zik told the gathering: “When Yossi Ginosar died two months ago, he left a billion dollars to his children. You heard me, that’s how much he stole from us. A lot of that money came from the Jericho casino he set up with Arafat and the Austrian Martin Schlaff. Omri Sharon and Dov Weisglas had their fingers in the Schlaff’s till as well. And guess who else was a partner of Schlaff’s; Cyril Kern. Sharon got his fingers in the Oslo crime syndicate safe and they got burned.”

For now, Sharon is being kept obedient through legal threats, but if he does not go ahead with the Gaza pullout, the threats against him and his family will turn fatal. He does not want to suffer the fate of Rabin who chose to do the right thing in the end. He will not defy his masters. It will be for others to do that for him. Binyamin Netanyahu’s brother-in-law, and I add, my longtime reader, Hagai Ben Artsi went public in Yerushalayim Magazine, March 26, 04, advocating a mutiny in the IDF, resulting in soldiers refusing to obey orders to aid the pullout from Gaza. Adir Zik told his audience in Maaleh Shomron that non-violent resistance is the best solution. The public will not tolerate their army shooting or beating the nation’s leading rabbis. Ben Artsi and Zik are both wrong. Foolproof plans are being formulated to overcome both contingencies. The following is the government’s plan for the pullout based on public sources, like deputy defence minister Tzvi Hendel, and my own sources. The army will swoop in completely by surprise and well before the Gaza residents are ready to defend themselves. Disinformation is being spread that the pullout is not imminent. One lie being “leaked” is that Pres. Bush has demanded that Sharon wait until after the American elections in November to act. In actuality, the pullout could take place, literally, tomorrow.

No soldier likely to disobey orders will be involved in the operation. Ideologically consistent soldiers of the left-wing Nahal Brigade will lead the charge, while foreign troops, reportedly including some 800 Turks, will fill out the ranks. Ben Artsi’s call for mass IDF disobedience is an illusion. The army high command isn’t as dumb as he thinks. Adir Zik’s plan for masses of resisters lead by the most distinguished rabbis is also not to be. The IDF will block all roads and entrances to the Gaza villages. No one will get anywhere near the pullout. The Jewish villagers will be isolated from the rest of the country. A convoy of trucks will converge on all the Gaza villages at once and burly soldiers will clear the houses of their contents one by one and quickly. The residents will be forcibly herded into one gathering point, the hotel at Neve Dekalim would serve the purpose, and held physically until the houses and buildings had been cleared. Then they will be blown up until nothing remains of the 30 year old Jewish villages. The residents will then be transported to hotels throughout the country and given $180,000 dollars per family to either buy apartments or rebuild their villages in the Negev.

And no soldier will rebel and no civilian will be allowed anywhere near the villages to protest. If the Gaza Jews are serious about saving their homes, they had better start acting immediately. Their allies have been compromised. Their communications network, Arutz Sheva, has been reduced to organizing a wimpy, barely-attended conference in Jerusalem, while Zo Artzeinu and its once firebrand leader Moshe Feiglin, has been diminished to the status of Likud Party internal squabblers. The Gazan Jews are all alone. No bugle-calling cavalry is going to come to their rescue. If they have any chance of saving their homes, they’ll have to take practical steps. The pullout will take place without any prior warning, so the residents will have to establish their own early warning system based on walkie-talkies since all phone lines will be cut off. When the rumble of the trucks is heard, all vehicles, buses, trucks, vans and cars will have to be rushed to every gate and opening, and parked strategically to complicate the entrance of the military moving vans.
