HaTzofeh newspaper brings the following quotes:
* Orit Shochat recently wrote in Haaretz, "It could be that Sharon's tough stance towards the settlers of Gush Katif this past summer is the only lesson learned from the murder of Yitzchak Rabin."
* Gadi Taub wrote in Maariv, "The dirges on the death of the Rabin legacy were unnecessary. If... most of the Likud now supports a Palestinian state, then this legacy has won... A unilateral withdrawal from Gaza, dismantling of the settlements, a partition in Judea and Samaria. The right-wing has adopted the Rabin legacy."
In fact, however, Rabin was totally against a withdrawal from Gush Katif. In his last Knesset speech, he said:
"We will not return to the lines of June 4, 1967... The security border will be placed in the Jordan Valley, in the broadest interpretation of this concept... [We will] include Gush Etzion, Efrat, Beitar and other communities, most of which are east of what was the Green Line... and also... settlement blocs like Gush Katif; would it be there were others like them in Judea and Samaria as well."
Neither was Rabin in favor of a Palestinian state, and stated clearly his envisioned solution of a "Palestinian entity that is less than a state."
