Some 200 people gathered in a small hotel in Jerusalem yesterday to discuss various theories, the common denominator of which is that the GSS, wittingly or not, was behind the assassination of Yitzchak Rabin. The conference, sponsored by the Root and Branch Association, featured the first session of a self-proclaimed Public Commission on the Rabin Assassination. The goal of the commission, whose members include Prof. Arieh Zaritsky of Ben-Gurion University, is the opening of another official investigation into the murder. Another commission member, Prof. Hillel Weiss of Bar-Ilan University, spoke on \"The Rabin Assassination as a Symptom of Anti-Jewish Trends in Israeli Society.\" Weiss told Arutz-7\'s Yosef Zalmanson that, in light of the screams of, \"Blanks, blanks\" immediately following Yigal Amir\'s shots, he suspects the GSS:

\"It doesn\'t even matter whether Amir \'out-smarted\' the GSS and replaced the blanks in his gun with real bullets, or whether someone else actually murdered Rabin - the main point is that the GSS was behind a cruel, heartless plan to besmirch an entire public and frame them with the crime of attempting to murder the Prime Minister.\" Much evidence has been amassed showing that GSS agent-provocateur Avishai Raviv not only knew of Yigal Amir\'s desire to kill Rabin, but even prodded him to commit the crime - yet the GSS did not arrest Amir.



Journalist David Bedein reports on a speech Rabin made twelve days before he was killed, about two weeks after the Knesset passed the Second Oslo Agreement (by a 61-59 vote):

\"Rabin devoted his lecture to his premonition of a Palestinian Hamas terror state… I then asked the only question of the evening: \'Since you have expressed your warnings against the dangers of Hamas, how can you account for the fact that the Palestinian Authority, for whom you authorized weapons, has announced that it will license weapons for the Hamas?\' Rabin hesitated for a moment and nodded his head. His answer: \'Maybe they are for peace too.\'

\"...On December 15, 1995 [six weeks after the killing], the PLO signed an official accord to incorporate the Hamas inside the Palestinian National Authority. According to that accord, Hamas would be permitted to carry out military activity, so long as it did not operate from areas under the control of the PNA… Had Mr. Rabin died of a heart attack, perhaps his legacy would have been held accountable for supplying Israel\'s enemy with arms, before that enemy finalized a peace agreement with Israel.\"
