 Chamish: Happy Rabin Week
Werker, a high-ranking government employee, introduced himself by saying he realized that Rabin was killed by a cabal the very first night after he heard that Yigal Amir hadn't been immediately cut down by Rabin's Shabak guards after the first bullet, and that people had heard calls of "it's only blanks".
According to the trajectory of the wounds recorded by the hospital staff, Rabin had to be in a bending over position, and shot at point-blank range by one bullet, and 20 cm by another bullet.
It was positively ghoulish to hear Peres ascribe blame for Rabin's assassination on rightwingers: "It's the same incitement, it's the same people, it's the same blindness of people, the same lack of all sense of proportion and responsibility to the state".

 GN Online: Fault lines that cut across Israeli politics
Rabin once accused of inciting the violence that ultimately took the life of her husband, Yitzak Rabin.
Even during the tenure of Rabin, there was a near even split between the two camps, which is why Rabin, and later Shimon Peres, found it so difficult to push more aggressively toward a final peace arrangement.
A further sign of this drift to the right in Israeli politics is reports leaked to the press last week that indicate that Labor's new leader, Avram Mitzna, has proposed a map for a unilateral Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and Gaza.

Born in Jerusalem in 1922, Yitzak Rabin entered a 27-year-long military career at age 18, and his subsequent political career in the Labor Party led him to the position of Prime Minister in 1974.
Ross Neihaus, the vice president of Bruins for Israel and a speaker at the event, remembered Rabin as being the man that brought the Middle East "closer than it has ever been to peace." Such an event was epitomized by the historic handshake between Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian leader Yassar Arafat in 1993.
Yet in Israel today, in a land that Neihaus quoted Rabin having said "where parents bury their children," the prospect of peace seems remote, after more than two years of intense fighting in the region.
