Will Yitzhak Rabin's "bloody shirt" defeat Shimon Peres again?
Is history about to repeat itself? Will the upcoming Israeli
elections manage to escape from the clutches of Shimon Peres'
again? Can lightning strike twice? Remember, Shimon Peres
incredibly lost the race to become the leader of the Labor Party
to Amir Peretz due, in large part, to growing concerns and
legitimate questions about his involvement in the assassination
of Yitzhak Rabin and the subsequent government cover-up.
As duly noted by Reuven A. Kossover at Blog Critics and at
Jewish Indianapolis, and widely distributed by the highly
respectable Jerusalem-based Root and Branch Association's
Information Services:
"Around the time of the primaries, the Labor hacks waved the
bloody shirt of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was
assassinated in 1995. News started to leak that the man
convicted of the crime, Yigal Amir, actually had shot blanks at
Rabin and that the murder had been the work of the General
Security Service (Sherutei Bitachon Klali -- Shabak) agents --
who were in the pay of Peres, a Rabin rival. The news was just
enough to defeat Peres in the election, and Peretz, a fellow
familiar for his continual strikes to protect Histadrut control
over pension funds, was now leader of the Labor Party."
As the political stakes are raised and the heat is on, will the
"bloody shirt" of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin get
laundered in public again? Will the Kempler video
become an international hit? Will those who are engaged in the
historic campaign seeking justice for Rabin agitate enough
national and international attention to insure that the real
killers get brought to trial? (1500 posters have been
strategically placed throughout Jerusalem and Tel Aviv airing
these grievances).
And shouldn't reporters question why the Labor informers who
leaked the news before the Labor primary (that stooge Yigal Amir
shot blanks from a sterile area and Shimon Peres was part of the
staged event) didn't follow through with any demands for a new
investigation and failed to insist Israel must reopen the Rabin
File? Could this dereliction of duty, this possible criminal
neglect to pursue the matter backfire on those who would indict
"the man who would be king?" (especially since it's believed the
Vatican promises Peres a place in the "New Jerusalem" under
"international control").
The Israeli political atmosphere is definitely charged and short
fuses are sure to be blown, as is the cover of many who have
gotten away with murder for too long. Rabin's blood cries out
for justice! If indeed Shimon Peres came to power over Rabin's
dead body, as publicly charged by David Rutstein and Barry Chamish
without getting sued, it's past time for Israel to clean
up their act and let Zion be redeemed with justice.
