Knesset speaker Ruby Rivlin Wednesday sharply criticized people who mourn Yitzchak Rabin and at the same time “use the disguise of fear of incitement to silence opponents of the Oslo agreements” and similar policies.
Rivlin is one of the leading critics of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s disengagement plan to remove Jews from 25 communities, which then would be given to the Arabs. He spoke at a memorial ceremony in the Knesset nine years after the assassination of the former prime minister. Rivlin charged that those who “mix political conclusions with moral lessons” cheapen Rabin’s memory.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, once a staunch opponent of the late Yitzchak Rabin’s attempts to give parts of Israel to Yassar Arafat, said he is sorry for things he may have said “in the heat of the moment.” He spoke in memorial ceremonies on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.
Meanwhile, journalist and Arutz 7 radio broadcaster Adir Zyk raised several unanswered riddles concerning the murder of Rabin. “Who is the security agent who was secretly buried immediately after the assassination and how was he killed,” asked Zyk.
He also demanded answers to conflicting evidence surrounding the murder. Zyk questioned why there were no signs of blood on the ground even though doctors reportedly gave Rabin a large amount of blood infusions. Other unanswered questions concern the fact that there were warnings of an assassination attempt but there were no medics escorting Rabin.
Reminiscent of unsolved mysteries revolving around the murder of former U.S. president John F. Kennedy in 1963, Zyk pointed out that it took 20 minutes to get the former prime minister to the hospital which only was a couple of minutes away.
