The Gathering Storm
By Naomi Ragen
Friends,
Some of you have commented that I'm sending out much less
material of late. This is not your imagination. As I sit
in my little study in Jerusalem, overlooking the rolling
hills where David once fought Goliath, I feel overwhelmed by
a sense of helplessness as day after day the news gets worse
and worse. There is a line from I, Claudius, the
mini-series on ancient Rome based on Robert Graves wonderful
book that keeps going through my head. It is spoken by
Claudius, the reluctant emperor who wishes to bring back
the Republic and end the corrupt monarchy. He says: "Let all
the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out." What Claudius
means, is let the horrors brought about by perversions and
lies and corruption come to fruition so that people will
clearly see what a state their world is in, and work for
change.
We are definitely in the mud. Israeli leadership is the
most incompetent and corrupt in her history. Everyone from
our Prime Minister to our President is under investigation
from everything from bribe-taking to rape. After all the
bitter lessons of the fake Oslo Accords, that had our
children dying in the streets, we have learned nothing, as
Olmert goes once again to the Americans with yet another
deadly plan to give our enemies more land, and with it, more
opportunity, to kill us.
It's not that Israelis don't know what is going on. They
do. But people are overwhelmed by the sheer pace of events
that unfold with frightening speed from month to month.
Still reeling from the rocket attacks on the North, we must
deal with daily rocket attacks on our South and the huge
weapons influx from the Philadelphi Corridor, once closely
guarded by the IDF, which is now open to endless weapons
imports from Egypt, thanks to a decision made by people like
Mofaz and Halutz to withdraw. Every day, some other suicide
bomber is apprehended. You don't hear about it, because we
don't die, but that doesn't mean our enemies have stopped
trying to kill us.
Some people - the reserve officers whose lives were risked
in the last debacle in Lebanon- have had the gumption to
rally to bring down the corrupt government, but most of us
are mired in confusion and simple fatigue. We get
sidetracked by foolishness, like the decision to turn
Jerusalem into a world-wide venue for gay rights activism,
an idea that backfired, exposing fanaticism and hatred on
all sides. No, I didn't think the parade was a good idea,
but I was equally appalled by the violence and destruction
wreaked on Jerusalem by the parade's opponents. I also
found the activism against gay rights by the Chief Rabbinate
to be the height of hypocrisy. So concerned are they with
Jewish law and the holiness of the Jewish people that Chief
Rabbi Amar (whose own family was arrested not long ago for
assault and battery on his daughter's suitor) cancelled the
much anticipated Agunah Conference. The Conference would
have brought together Orthodox rabbis from all over the
world in a historic effort to come up with halachic
solutions to Jewish laws that encourage the blackmail and
extortion of Jewish women seeking a divorce, laws which
have turned the Jewish marriage ceremony into a life
sentence with no possibility of parole.
And while we focus all our time and energy on these
ridiculous little tempests in teapots, Iran goes on building
her atom bomb unimpeded, a bomb with our name on it. Olmert
smiles at us from the front page of newspapers as he shakes
the hand of a smiling lame duck president, confident that
the U.S. is going to stop Iran and save us. His own sons
already live in America, so I guess he isn't very worried.
But mine live here in Israel, and I am. The world seems
mired in the same kind of lethargy and Jew-hatred which
preceded the Holocaust. Open any news channel, read any
newspaper, and the story line continues to be the poor
Palestinians, even though they continue to support the most
corrupt, violent and dysfunctional regime on earth. The
lies covering up Islamic extremism and its agenda worldwide
continue to be flaunted by trendy films, TV shows, Hollywood
"stars", once-respectable newspapers, public-funded radio
shows. The victory of the Democrats over the Republicans
while certainly in response to the Bush administration's
many failures, also no doubt shows a weakening of the
resolve to face the terrorist threat head-on, and a desire
to believe that there is another, easier way to secure our
freedoms, the way of negotiation, of easing the "grievances"
that the Muslims have against the West. As Brigitte
Gabriel writes in her amazing book,Because They Hate: "Their
grievance is our freedom of religion. Their grievance is our
democratic process.''
The Jews of America, who could do so much to strengthen
their sisters and brothers in Israel, continue to be
influenced by the anti-Israel propaganda. That a large
portion of funds raised for the Israeli victims of the war
in Lebanon by the UJC were earmarked for Israeli Arabs, who
openly sided with Nasrallah, is one symptom
The complete abandonment of the Jews of Gush Katif by
American Jewry, so eager to help Arabs, is another. The
government is supposedly helping them, you'll hear these
people say. It's their own fault for not signing on the
dotted line in time, for resisting government policy. The
fact that everyone, even those who did sign, remain
jobless, homeless and poverty-stricken because of their
crime of living in an area that defended Israel's south from
terrorist bombardment for many years, is unforgivable. It's
as if we Jews have adopted the "hate the settler" philosophy
of our enemies, and wish to join the forces that want them
punished for their crime of being Zionists, and patriots,
and self-sacrificing, and loyal.
Jonathan Pollard, the spy who did not harm anyone, or any
American interest, remains behind bars because he is a Jew
who helped Israel, having long ago paid for any wrong doing,
serving more time than spies who gave information to
America's worst enemies and caused irreparable damage to her
security. And Jews are afraid to stand up for him. That is
another sign.
The rockets continue to fall on Sderot and the Negev from
Gaza. Each time we try to stop it, the world press gathers
like jackals to condemn us.
Misinformation, outright propaganda abounds. I'm sick of it.
It's like emptying a flooded cruise liner with a teaspoon.
In his book The Gathering Storm, Churchill wrote: "How
easily the tragedy of the Second World War could have been
prevented: how the malice of the wicked was reinforced by
the weakness of the virtuous; how the structure and habits
of democratic States.... lack those elements of persistence
and conviction which can alone give security to humble
masses; how, even, in matters of self-preservation, no
policy is pursued for even ten or fifteen years at at time.
We shall see how the counsel of prudence and restraint may
become the prime agents of mortal danger; how the middle
course adopted from desires for safety and a quiet life may
be found to lead direct to the bull's-eye of disaster."
Perhaps we have passed the point of no return. Perhaps our
accumulated mistakes and crimes have created a downhill
momentum that can no longer be stopped by human effort, but
only Godly intervention, i.e. a miracle. Churchill wrote
that he gained comfort from the fact that when Nazi Germany
finally showed her true face, in a way that even the most
naive could not ignore, "my warnings over the last six years
had been so numerous, so detailed and were now so terribly
vindicated, that no one could gainsay me....I slept soundly
and had no need for cheering dreams. Facts are better than
dreams."
I doubt that the storm that is gathering, threatening all we
love, and cherish and believe in, will allow us even that
scant comfort. I do not want to be "terribly vindicated." I
want to live out my life, and die in a good old age, my
children and grandchildren safe and healthy around me, free
citizens in the land of their forefathers. This is my
dream. May God help us.

Naomi Ragen's heartfelt piece was truly a prayerful sigh and cry before Heaven for all the abominations going on in Jerusalem and throughout the world, to which I say "Amen."
Our Great Creator God is taking note of this great difference in attitude and actions between peoples and promises to spare some from greater sufferings while others will be marked for death, not counted worthy to escape or receive divine protection:
Ezekiel 9:3-5
3 Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn at his side; 4 and the LORD said to him, "Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it."
5 To the others He said in my hearing, "Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity."
Terrible times are just ahead of us, as it appears neither Joseph or Judah, the British-Israelites or Jews, will remember our Hebrew roots and biblical responsibilities and turn back to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and spare ourselves from the Time of Jacob's Trouble, the Great Tribulation, that will demand divine intervention after 3 1/2 years or we'll all be history.
Thankfully, Two Witnesses in Jerusalem, in the spirit of Elijah, will announce to their captive audience, and assure the cities of Judah, that our God will come and save us, liberate Jerusalem from EU occupation and reign as King and teach Torah from the Temple.

Decadent Western Nations Clash with Islam
The God vacuum: America and the barbarian hordes
November 9, 2006
By David Kupelian
© 2006
In the Old Testament of the Bible, God is shown time after time chastising the House of Israel, His chosen but often disobedient people, by allowing barbarians to invade and plunder their cities and put many of them to the sword.
That is what the Western World, including America, is starting to experience today, having likewise turned away from God.
This raging conflict between Islam and the West, this "clash of civilizations" that many are calling World War III, is at root a spiritual war...
*************************
I believe as a general rule we are more wicked now than before in that at least before we kept our sins in the closet and didn't offer public sanction of them; folks knew right from wrong and didn't deny it even if they didn't live up to such biblical standards perfectly. Didn't Yeshua speak of this decline in character when He said it would become as in the days of Noah and Lot?
Europe is in danger of becoming a dhimmi continent, but it's about to be jolted and under pressure, feeling threatened, return to the "Cross" to save them from the Crescent and the King of the North will defeat the King of the South - just as Herbert W. Armstrong taught.

The Origin of Sunday Observance

(This compilation of information regarding the Roman Catholic Cult's thinking to "change the times and the seasons" was put together by some Seventh Day Adventists.

Cumont, Oriental Religions in Roman Paganism , reprint 1956, pp. 210, 211.
"Remains of the struggle are found in two institutions adopted from its rival by Christianity in the fourth century, the two Mithraic sacred days, December twenty-fifth, dies natalis solis , as the birthday of Jesus, and Sunday, `the venerable day of the Sun,’ as Constantine called it in his edict of 321."—Walter Woodburn Hyde, Paganism to Christianity in the Roman Empire , p. 60.

"Q. Which is the Sabbath day?
A. Saturday is the Sabbath day.

"If you follow the Bible alone there can be no question that you are obliged to keep Saturday holy, since that is the day especially prescribed by Almighty God to be kept holy to the Lord. In keeping Sunday, non-Catholics are simply following the practise of the Catholic Church for 1800 years, a tradition, and not a Bible ordinance.... With the Catholics there is no difficulty about the matter.

"Like two sacred rivers flowing from Paradise, the Bible and divine Tradition contain the Word of God, the precious gems of revealed truths.

"Protestantism, in discarding the authority of the Church, has no good reason for its Sunday theory, and ought, logically, to keep Saturday as the Sabbath."—John Gilmary Shea, The American Catholic Quarterly Review , January, 1883.
"You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we [Catholics] never sanctify."—James Cardinal Gibbons, The Faith of Our Fathers , 1917 ed., pp. 72, 73.
"Is it not strange that those who make the Bible their only teacher should inconsistently follow in this matter the tradition of the Church?"—Bertrand L. Conway, The Question Box Answers , 1910, p. 255.
"But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?"—Jesus, Matthew 15:3 .
"But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."—Jesus, Matthew 15:9 .
"No; it never was changed, nor could it be, unless creation was to be gone through again: for the reason assigned must be changed before the observance, or respect to the reason, can be changed!! It is all old wives’ fables to talk of the change of the sabbath from the seventh to the first day. If it be changed, it was that august personage changed it who changes times and laws ex officio—I think his name is DOCTOR ANTICHRIST."—Alexander Campbell, The Christian Baptist , Feb. 2, 1824, vol. 1, no. 7.
"We ought to obey God rather than men."—Peter, Acts 5:29.
"The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate."—Isaiah 24:5,6.

WHO MURDERED YITZHAK RABIN? - Chapter 5: "How did They miss Amir at the Rally?"
WHO MURDERED YITZHAK RABIN?
Chapter Five: "How did They miss Amir at the Rally?"
copyright (c) 1998, 2006, by Mr. Barry Chamish
www.thebarrychamishwebsite.com
R&B Editor's Notes:
Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin?: The Root & Branch Information Services is serializing the book Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin?, by Mr. Barry Chamish, with permission of the author, to commemorate the upcoming eleventh anniversary of the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin (November 4, 1995 -- November 4, 2006).
The Bible Says:
"How is the faithful city [Jerusalem] become a harlot. She that was full of justice, righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers. Your silver is become dross, your wine is mixed with water. Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves; every one loves bribes, and follows after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
Therefore, says the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I will ease Me of My adversaries, and avenge Me of My enemies; and I will turn My hand upon you, and purge away your dross as with lye, and will take away all your allow; and I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counsellors as at the beginning; afterward you [Jerusalem] shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city. Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and they who return of her with righteousness.
But the destruction of the transgressors and the sinners shall be together, and they who forsake the Lord shall be consumed. For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the garden that you have chosen. For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water. And the strong shall be as tow, and his work as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them".
[Yeshayahu/Isaiah 1:21-31]
YERUSHALIYIM, Israelite Tribal Territories of Judah and Benjamin, Kingdom of David and Solomon, United Israelite Kingdom of Judah and Joseph, Seventeenth Day, Eighth Month ("Cheshvan"), 5767; Yom Revi'i (Fourth Day of the Week/"Wednes"-day, November 8, 2006), Root & Branch Information Services [mailto:rb@rb.org.il]:
Chapter Five: "How did They miss Amir at the Rally?"
One of the questions the media asked after the assassination is how the Shabak [Israel General Security Services] missed identifying Amir in the sterile area where he "shot" Rabin. The first answer given by the Shabak was that because of the thick crowd, it was impossible to pick out Amir.
The "amateur film" purportedly made by Ronnie Kempler put that lie to rest. Amir is shown alone standing by a potted plant for long minutes without another soul in sight for yards around him. The only people who are filmed
talking to him are two uniformed policemen.
Under normal circumstances, the Shabak [Israel General Security Services] would have prevented Amir from getting anywhere near the rally itself -- and had he somehow gained access to the sterile area, he would have been apprehended on the spot -- because the Shabak [Israel General Security Services] had lots of information that Amir was planning to assassinate Rabin.
Take the famous case of Shlomi Halevy, a reserve soldier in the I.D.F.'s Intelligence Brigade and a fellow student of Amir's at Bar-Ilan University. After being informed that Amir was talking about killing Rabin, he [Halevy] reported the information to his superior officer in the brigade. He [the superior officer] told Halevy to go to the police immediately.
Halevy told them that "A short Yemenite in Eyal was boasting that he was going to assassinate Rabin". The police took Halevy very seriously and transferred his report to the Shabak [Israel General Security Services] where it was not "discovered" until three days after Rabin's assassination.
The weekly newsmagazine Yerushalayim on September 22, 1996 managed to convince Halevy to give his first interview since the discovery of his report and the subsequent media fallout. The magazine noted:
Yerushaliyim, September 22, 1996
Halevy's and other reports of Amir's intentions which gathered dust in Shabak [Israel General Security Services] files have fueled numerous conspiracy theories...After the uproar, Halevy went into hiding.
"Shlomi Halevy, if you did the right thing why have you hidden from the public?"
Halevy: "The assassination is a sore point with the Shabak. They're big and I'm little. I don't know what they could do to me".
Halevy was the most publicized case because as a soldier in the Intelligence Brigade, the Shabak [Israel General Security Services] was absolutely required to take his evidence seriously as did the police. But Halevy was not the only informant.
Yediot Ahronot, November 12, 1995
A number of weeks before the Rabin assassination, the Shabak received information about the existence of Yigal Amir and his intention to murder Yitzhak Rabin.
Yediot Ahronot was informed that one of the Eyal activists arrested last week was interrogated for being a possible co-conspirator with Yigal Amir because the assassin's brother Haggai had mentioned him [the Eyal activist] in his [Haggai's] own interrogation. At the beginning of his interrogation, the suspect broke out into bitter tears and told a tale that was initially viewed with tongue in cheek by the interrogators.
Weeks before the murder, the suspect heard Amir speak his intentions and he was shocked. He was torn between informing the authorities and betraying his fellows, so he chose a middle route. He would give away Amir's intentions without naming him.
After some hesitation, he informed a police intelligence officer about Amir's plan in detail, stopping just short of identifying him or his address. He told where Amir studied and described him as a "Short, dark Yemenite with curly
hair".
The description was passed along the police communications network and classified as important. The information was also passed to the Shabak [Israel General Security Services], officers of which subsequently took a statement from the suspect. Because he was in a delicate position, neither the police or Shabak [Israel General Security Services] pressed him further.
While interrogated, the suspect named the police and Shabak [Israel General Security Services] officers and his story checked out. He was then released. Shabak [Israel General Security Services] officials confirmed that the man had previously given them a description of Amir and his plan to murder Rabin.

Ma'ariv, November 19, 1995
Hila Frank knew Amir well from her studies at Bar Ilan. After the assassination, she hired a lawyer and told him that she had heard Amir state his intention to murder Rabin well before the event. As a member of the campus Security Committee, she organized anti-government demonstrations.
Thus, she was torn between exposing Amir's intentions and the interests of the state. To overcome the dilemma, she passed on her information to Shlomi Halevy, a reserve soldier in the Intelligence Brigade who promised that it would be
given to the right people.

Yerushalayim, November 17, 1995
Why wasn't a drawing of Amir based on Halevy's description distributed to the Prime Minister's security staff? Why didn't they interrogate other Eyal activists to discover who the man threatening to kill the prime minister was?

Yediot Ahronot, November 10, 1995
A month and a half before the assassination, journalist Yaron Kenner pretended to be a sympathizer and spent two days at a study sabbath in Hebron organized by Yigal Amir.
"Who organized this event?" I asked. He pointed to Yigal Amir...He had invited 400 and over 540 arrived. This caused organizational havoc.
"When Amir spoke, people quieted down, testifying to some charisma. On the other hand, his soft tone and unimpressive stature wouldn't have convinced anyone to buy even a popsicle from him".

Yediot Ahronot, November 24, 1995
Yigal Amir turned into an object of attention for the Shabak beginning six months ago when he started organizing study weekends in Kiryat Arba and they requested a report on him. Raviv prepared the report.

Ma'ariv, November 24, 1995
A carful of Bar-Ilan students were driving from Tel Aviv when they heard the announcement of Rabin's shooting on the radio. They played a game, each thinking of five people who might have done it. Yigal Amir was on all their lists.
How could the Shabak [Israel General Security Services] have missed Yigal Amir at the rally unless they did so on purpose? Yigal Amir did not keep his intentions to assassinate Rabin a secret. He told many hundreds of people gathered at his study weekends and seems to have told everyone within hearing distance at Bar-Ilan University.
Besides the question of Amir's most un-murderer-like desire to let the world know his plans, we must ask why the Shabak [Israel General Security Services] didn't apprehend him. Yes, they knew about him. The proof is indisputable. Two people, one within Eyal, the other a soldier in the Intelligence Brigade told them. Their own agent Avishai Raviv heard his threats, along with hundreds of other people at the study weekends and reported them to his superiors.
So why didn't they arrest him well before the rally, outside the rally or within the sterile zone? Because wittingly or not, Yigal Amir was working for the Shabak [Israel General Security Services].

R&B Editor's Notes:
Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin?: The Root & Branch Information Services is serializing the book Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin?, by Mr. Barry Chamish, with permission of the author, to commemorate the upcoming eleventh anniversary of the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin (November 4, 1995 -- November 4, 2006).
The Bible Says:
"How is the faithful city [Jerusalem] become a harlot. She that was full of justice, righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers. Your silver is become dross, your wine is mixed with water. Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves; every one loves bribes, and follows after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
Therefore, says the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I will ease Me of My adversaries, and avenge Me of My enemies; and I will turn My hand upon you, and purge away your dross as with lye, and will take away all your allow; and I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counsellors as at the beginning; afterward you [Jerusalem] shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city. Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and they who return of her with righteousness.
But the destruction of the transgressors and the sinners shall be together, and they who forsake the Lord shall be consumed. For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the garden that you have chosen. For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water. And the strong shall be as tow, and his work as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them".
[Yeshayahu/Isaiah 1:21-31]
YERUSHALIYIM, Israelite Tribal Territories of Judah and Benjamin, Kingdom of David and Solomon, United Israelite Kingdom of Judah and Joseph, Seventeenth Day, Eighth Month ("Cheshvan"), 5767; Yom Revi'i (Fourth Day of the Week/"Wednes"-day, November 8, 2006), Root & Branch Information Services [mailto:rb@rb.org.il]:
Chapter Five: "How did They miss Amir at the Rally?"
One of the questions the media asked after the assassination is how the Shabak [Israel General Security Services] missed identifying Amir in the sterile area where he "shot" Rabin. The first answer given by the Shabak was that because of the thick crowd, it was impossible to pick out Amir.
The "amateur film" purportedly made by Ronnie Kempler put that lie to rest. Amir is shown alone standing by a potted plant for long minutes without another soul in sight for yards around him. The only people who are filmed
talking to him are two uniformed policemen.
Under normal circumstances, the Shabak [Israel General Security Services] would have prevented Amir from getting anywhere near the rally itself -- and had he somehow gained access to the sterile area, he would have been apprehended on the spot -- because the Shabak [Israel General Security Services] had lots of information that Amir was planning to assassinate Rabin.
Take the famous case of Shlomi Halevy, a reserve soldier in the I.D.F.'s Intelligence Brigade and a fellow student of Amir's at Bar-Ilan University.

"GET" THE JEWS
"GET" THE JEWS

The Bible Says:
"Fret not yourself because of evildoers. Neither be you envious against them who work unrighteousness. For they shall soon wither like the grass. And fade as the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the Land (of Israel), and cherish faithfulness. So shall you delight yourself in the Lord, and He shall give you the petitions of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass. And He will make your righteousness to go forth as the light, and your right as the noonday".
[Tehillim/Psalm 27:1-6]
YERUSHALIYIM, Israelite Tribal Territories of Judah and Benjamin, Kingdom of David and Solomon, United Israelite Kingdom of Judah and Joseph, Day 14, Eighth Month ("Cheshvan"), 5767; Yom Rishon (First Day of Week/"Sun"-day, November 5, 2006), Root & Branch Information Services:
The August, 2005 Gush Katif Expulsion of 10,000 Jewish Pioneering Jewish men, women and children -- together with the destruction of their homes, farms and businesses, followed by the Philistine burning and bulldozing of their synagogues (while the "international community" was either silent or privately laughing with glee) -- was conducted by Ariel Sharon to keep himself out of jail. That is why Sharon did it. Let no one think, however, that the Israeli Left cared whether Sharon went to jail or not.
The real reason why the Israeli Left supported Sharon's Gush Katif Expulsion was recently given by Yair Lapid (son of Tommy Lapid of now defunct Shinui/"Change" Party "fame"). The Israeli Left supported the Gush Katif Expulsion, according to Tommy Lapid son Yair, to 'get the Jews', i.e. the national-religious and Jewish Pioneering ("settler") community in the Land of Israel.
This was a classic internal Jewish version of an anti-Semitic pogrom (first conducted by Pharaoh in Egypt) intended to reduce Jews to their "natural size". It never works. Next the pogromniks escalate to real genocide. That too seems to work for a while.
However, as Hans Frank of accursed memory, lawyer by profession and military governor of Nazi-occupied Poland, wrote, if even a few rabbis and teachers of Talmud escape, they will start the whole "thing" over again. To give the Devil his due, Frank was right.
The Gush Katif Expulsion DID succeed in repressing the faithful Jewish community -- partially and temporarily -- except that Elazar Stern now wonders where he will get cannon fodder ("soldiers") for his next war. Stern need not worry. N.A.T.O. troops will soon be "protecting" Israel.
Stern, Lapid and many Israeli politicians will most likely work for the Judenrat/Vichy Israel "government" in N.A.T.O.-occupied Israel. Yet that, too, will end.
Read Psalm 37 intensively to find out why. The wicked DO prosper in the short run, but the righteous are eventually victorious. Unlike the wicked, the righteous engage in acts of hesed (acts of kindness). The wicked, who step on too many people on the way up, should not expect to receive much kindness on their way down.
The Israeli Left desperately needs the religious and Jewish Pioneering ("settler") communities because we represent the remaining connection to their shrunken Jewish roots. On the other hand, the religious and Jewish Pioneering communities do NOT need the Israeli Left. The Israeli Left does NOT represent the People of Israel, they merely manipulate the People.
Demographics show that "secular" (not-yet-religiously observant) Israel is not reproducing itself any more than are "secular" Europe and America. The future will be a face-off between different groups of "believers" (Jews/Christians/Muslims/Hindus/Buddhists/etc.). We will either have to fight to an ultimate victory by one side or another or else learn to live together (traditional Judaism provides a way to do this, through common human faith in G-d and observance of His Noahide Covenant and Laws, together with honoring His Land, Torah and People Covenants with Israel, as does the Muslim Qur'an).
The ultra-"secular" Israeli (current) opinion molders will cease to exist once we stop buying their newspapers and turn off their television programming. Forever. We will also stop buying their commercial junk food which is imported or produced by local affiliates of multinational corporations.
We will live healthier lives for much less money. We will stop taking aid (Economic A.I.D.s) money from the United States to buy American weapons and will take full responsibility for our own defense.
The Warren Buffets of this world buy into commercial Israel because it is a good deal. In the future they also will buy into spiritual Israel because it is an infinitely better deal.
"From out of Zion will come forth Torah, and the Word of the L-rd from Jerusalem".

EU to invoke UN Resolution 181?
So much for any "war on terrorism." Both the sacriligeous United States and Hellenist Israeli authorities have been insanely arming the Nazi-Muslim "peace partners." The Israel that we know today, the corrupt, humanist, godless state, should come to its end and be brought to its knees in REPENTANCE and become the truly Jewish Homeland it's intended to be.
The covetous Ishmaelites and murderous Amalekites can definitely inflict some severe damage [enough to demand international intervention] upon the cities of Judah, but it is fascist Europe that will brutally betray both Arabs and Jews and seize Jerusalem for themselves, with the "blessings" of the pagan pope. Watch for the accursed UN Resolution 181 to be invoked soon as the final solution to the Arab-Israeli problem.

Rabin Assassination Eye-Witness Video Emerges After 11 Years
Rabin Assassination Eye-Witness Video Emerges After 11 Years
18:03 Nov 02, '06 / 11 Cheshvan 5767
by Baruch Gordon
Footage of Miriam Oren's eye-witness account of the Yitzhak Rabin assassination was shown numerous times on the fateful night of November 4, 1995. But once Rabin's death was announced, it vanished.

Miriam Oren on stage with Prime Minister Rabin
This week, it was made available to the public via the internet for the first time in 11 years.
Miriam Oren of Ramat Gan was the director of a department in the Na'amat women's movement. She was on stage with Prime Minister Rabin during the Tel Aviv demonstration and escorted him to his car where convicted assassin Yigal Amir waited.
Miriam Oren on stage with Prime Minister Rabin
She emphatically stated again and again to Israel TV that Rabin was not hit:
Oren: "…Suddenly shots were heard and…"
TV: "Was Rabin injured?"
Oren: "Rabin was not wounded. I saw that Rabin was not wounded… Yes, there were shots. They pushed him [Amir] up against the wall, and Rabin's car sped out of here… I was standing very close to Rabin's car. Rabin put one foot in the car, and we heard shots. Rabin's car sped away."
TV: "Was Rabin wounded?"
Oren: "Rabin was not wounded. [Shaking her head] Rabin was not wounded. Rabin was not wounded.
TV: "Was he wounded?"
Oren: "No! No, I saw that he was not wounded."
TV: "How far were you from him?"
Oren: "I was one meter away."
Several months later on Jan. 26, 1996, Oren is mentioned in the Yedioth Acharonot newspaper as maintaining that Rabin was not hurt at the site of the shooting.
Rabin conspiracy theorist David Rutstein tracked down the video footage of Oren and posted it this week on the internet:
Click here if you cannot see the video below.
In Yigal Amir's trial, Rabin's personal bodyguard, Yoram Rubin testified that after the shots, Rabin and he "jumped into the car." He told the court: "After the shots, from the force of the shots and from my jumping on him [to cover him], we fell to the ground… I was speaking with Yitzhak, and we jumped into the car."
Another witness in the Amir trial, S. Tiram, also testified that he "didn't see any injury." "I didn't see or hear that Rabin was injured at that time."
Last year at this time, the famous Kempler video documenting the Rabin assassination was posted for public viewing for the first time in ten years on the internet.
The Oren footage adds another inconsistency to the numerous unanswered questions surrounding the Rabin assassination that have fueled conspiracy theories. To see the Kempler Video and read some of the basic factual inconsistencies of the murder night, click here.

Several months later on Jan. 26, 1996, Oren is mentioned in the Yedioth Acharonot newspaper as maintaining that Rabin was not hurt at the site of the shooting.
Rabin conspiracy theorist David Rutstein tracked down the video footage of Oren and posted it this week on the internet:
Click here if you cannot see the video below.
In Yigal Amir's trial, Rabin's personal bodyguard, Yoram Rubin testified that after the shots, Rabin and he "jumped into the car." He told the court: "After the shots, from the force of the shots and from my jumping on him [to cover him], we fell to the ground… I was speaking with Yitzhak, and we jumped into the car."
Another witness in the Amir trial, S. Tiram, also testified that he "didn't see any injury." "I didn't see or hear that Rabin was injured at that time."
Last year at this time, the famous Kempler video documenting the Rabin assassination was posted for public viewing for the first time in ten years on the internet.
The Oren footage adds another inconsistency to the numerous unanswered questions surrounding the Rabin assassination that have fueled conspiracy theories. To see the Kempler Video and read some of the basic factual inconsistencies of the murder night, click here.

Israel's Betrayal of the Jews
After reading Germany's Betrayal of the Jews by Wolf Biermann, I felt blah, blah, blah. Didn't Hitler warn the European Jews? Didn't Jabotinsky warn the European Jews? The Jews today are in a position to determine their life or death, blessings or curses and needn't blame others for all their ills. There are problems and there are biblical solutions, as Meir Kahane courageously taught (Malachi 4:4).
What's a Jew still living in Germany for? Has he learned nothing from the Holocaust? Why not repent of the godless Communism (disproportionately Jewish, grieved to say) and become a religious Zionist and follow Judaism to the Jewish Homeland where Jews belong according to Moses and the Ramban?
As for "the 'stumbling blocks' [hand-sized brass plates set into the pavement in front of houses that are engraved with the name, date of birth and date of deportation of individuals who lived at the sites] that are mostly there to remember murdered Jews but there are a few for Sinti and Roma, communists, social-democrats and homosexuals," perpetuates the big lie the liberals preach that portrays homosexuals as "victims" when The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party proves otherwise. I heard co-author Kevin Abrams lecture about it in Jerusalem sponsored by the Root and Branch Association.
Israel's betrayal of the Jews would be a more appropriate speech for Wolf Biermann or some other brave soul. Where else but in Israel could thousands of Jews be forcibly removed from their homes and their property and businesses looted by Nazi-Muslims with covert world approval? Where else but in Israel could Jewish holy sites be utterly vandalized, destroyed and occupied by Nazi-Muslims like Joseph's Tomb? Where else but in Israel would Jews be violently forbidden to pray or read the Bible at a holy site, even Judaism's most holy site - the Temple Mount - with successive governments rewarding terrorist threats and punishing innocent Jews against both secular and religious law? Why the woeful neglect and abominable apathy of Jews and Israelis that enables such deplorable conditions to continue?
Meir Kahane, rabbi and former Israeli parliament member, used to say instead of decrying what the Gentiles didn't do to save the Jews, we should focus on what THE JEWS didn't do to save themselves! He highlighted the miserable failure of the American Jews especially. Ah, but it's easier to blame others, isn't it?
When will the Israelis clean house? Israelis voted for the defeatist Kadima - the same Kadima that didn't let them win the war in Lebanon. The same accursed Kadima that threatens to expel more Jews and continues to reward terrorism and pretends Israel has "peace partners" and that one group of terrorists is more "moderate" than the other when both despise Israel and seek its destruction and their murderous hatred is documented!
When will Israelis reopen the Rabin murder file and expose what is increasingly apparent to many: the Israeli oligarchy, undoubtedly under German-Jesuit orders, ordered the Shabak hit on Yitzhak Rabin? It's a known fact that Yigal Amir worked for Shabak, that Avishai Raviv, "Champagne," was a government agent provocateur and that Yitzhak Rabin entered his limousine unharmed.... Truly, Shimon Peres came to power over Rabin's dead body.
Yes, let Jews and Israelis examine Israel's betrayal of the Jews before it's too late and Jerusalem suffers under EU occupation.

Ariel Sharon: From Zionist to Traitor
Ariel Sharon: From Zionist to Traitor
The Atlantic Times now contributes to the myth of the man, Ariel Sharon, and perpetuates the big lie of the "peace process."
Editor in chief Rafael Seligmann's masterpiece of deception -- "Sharon: 'First and Foremost, I'm a Jew'" -- belies harsh reality for pretty platitudes and historical revision. No self-respecting Jew would act like General Sharon who brutally betrayed those who elected him and violently expelled faithful Zionist Jews from their homes and businesses rather than defeat and drive out Israel's sworn enemies, the Nazi-Muslims. How upside down. How Luciferian! (Isaiah 5:20).
Rather than repeating the mindless mantras about a peace that NEVER materialized despite the big lie of "land for peace," with "peace partners" that never existed (read and believe the covenants of death written by the bloody PLO, Fatah and Hamas -- all who collaborate to erase Israel off the map), Seligmann's (fifth) Column could have honestly told the rest of the story and properly informed his readers about how the treacherous and selfish Ariel Sharon sold out Israel to foreign interests, a puppet of his German-Jesuit EU masters, and how he won't be around for the bitter harvest of the rotten fruit of his wicked labor.
Herr Seligmann's sloppy swill only feeds further disinformation to the masses and aids and abets those out to weaken and destroy Israel while slobbering "peace" as they prepare for war. The EU beast will rip and tear and devour both Arabs and Jews who are being played against each other, inviting the disaster of international intervention.
Sharon didn't "transform from soldier to statesman" (vomit), he morphed for money from Zionist to traitor, backstabbing the Israeli Defence Forces (the first Israeli General to abuse the IDF against Israeli citizens). General Sharon could have enforced peace through strength, securing Israel a hard-earned victory, rather than rewarding terrorism and undermining Israeli security, breaching their sovereignty, permitting Roman wolves in sheep's clothing, "peacekeepers," to pollute the Holy Land of Israel.
The EU jackboot will soon trample Ariel Sharon's grave, inherit his farm and occupy the Jewish homeland, while Israelis curse his name, and that of his partner in crime, Shimon Peres.

Reopen Rabin assassination file!
"Zion shall be redeemed with justice" (Isaiah)
The Israeli prosecutor of the ALLEGED assassin of Yitzhak Rabin has now publicly expressed doubt and asked questions, raising concerns the real killers still walk free and Shimon Peres got away with murder.
New evidence further PROVES Yigal Amir did not kill Yitzhak Rabin. It's past time Israelis demand: REOPEN THE RABIN FILE. And now with the release of the Kempler video of Yitzhak Rabin's staged assassination, many are doing just that!

Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin?: The Root & Branch Information Services is serializing the book Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin?, by Mr. Barry Chamish, with permission of the author, to commemorate the upcoming eleventh anniversary of the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin (November 4, 1995 -- November 4, 2006).
The Bible Says:
"How is the faithful city [Jerusalem] become a harlot. She that was full of justice, righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers. Your silver is become dross, your wine is mixed with water. Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves; every one loves bribes, and follows after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
Therefore, says the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I will ease Me of My adversaries, and avenge Me of My enemies; and I will turn My hand upon you, and purge away your dross as with lye, and will take away all your allow; and I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counsellors as at the beginning; afterward you [Jerusalem] shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city. Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and they who return of her with righteousness.
But the destruction of the transgressors and the sinners shall be together, and they who forsake the Lord shall be consumed. For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the garden that you have chosen. For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water. And the strong shall be as tow, and his work as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them".

YERUSHALIYIM, Israelite Tribal Territories of Judah and Benjamin, Kingdom of David and Solomon, United Israelite Kingdom of Judah and Joseph, Day 4, Eighth Month ("Cheshvan"), 5767; Yom Chamishi (Fifth Day of Week/"Thurs"-day, October 26, 2006), Root & Branch Information Services [mailto:rb@rb.org.il] [www.rb.org.il]:
Chapter Three: "Dirty Tricks"
While one of Eyal's main purposes was to enroll young idealists and radicalize them, another was to eliminate political leaders. Yitzhak Rabin was not the first victim, just the most permanent. Preceding him was today's prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
One month before Rabin's assassination, on October 5 [1995], another kind of rally took place in Jerusalem. A quarter of a million people gathered to protest the government's "peace" diplomacy. The featured speaker was Binyamin Netanyahu. The sheer size of the protest, which clogged downtown Jerusalem's streets for eight blocks, shocked the promulgators of the "peace" process.
To counterbalance the massive demonstration, two of the ["peace" process] promulgators, former Likud mayor of Tel Aviv Shlomo Lahat and a mysterious Frenchman who had been bankrolling a semi-sophisticated brainwashing campaign on behalf of the "peace" process, Jean Friedman, decided to organize an equally large demonstration in Tel Aviv. Even after busing many thousands of political hacks and youth group members -- a third Israeli Arabs organized to beef up the attendance -- only about half as many people showed up and the prime minister was assassinated there.
As was Netanyahu at the Jerusalem rally. Although it was only a character assassination, it served the same purpose of eliminating him [Netanyahu] from the political arena. And the man behind the assassination was also the same: Shabak officer Avishai Raviv.
The weapon he [Raviv] used was a poster of Rabin wearing a Gestapo uniform which Netanyahu was wrongly accused of having approved. Thus, he [Netanyahu] was later accused of creating the atmosphere which led directly to Rabin's murder. Ironically, it was Rabin himself who made the accusation that Netanyahu was inciting violence, in the Knesset.
The implications are profound. The prime minister is responsible for the Shabak and for approving its activities. Unless the Shabak dared to work behind his back, Rabin approved the Raviv operation, thus signing his own death warrant, and in all likelihood he also approved the use of the poster to humiliate Netanyahu.
Yediot Ahronot, November 19, 1995
According to testimony from Judea and Samaria Council spokesman Aharon Domb; Avishai Raviv along with other Eyal people were seen on the night of the demonstration in Zion Square (Jerusalem), October 5, distributing the poster.
************
Yediot Ahronot, November 20, 1995
Channel One reporter, Nitzan Khen, told viewers of last night's news program that just a few minutes before beginning to broadcast from the demonstration of the right at Zion Square, he was given a leaflet showing Rabin in an
Gestapo uniform by Avishai Raviv.
Khen: "Raviv came up to me with two other people known to me, an Eyal activist and Kach member. They came to the broadcast van and gave me the leaflet. After five or ten minutes Raviv returned to make sure I had broadcast it".
************
Yediot Ahronot, November 12, 1995
Police Captain Yehuda Saidoff: "I concluded that Nitzan Khen has a wild imagination and poor memory for facts. Raviv was more believable to me". Raviv told Saidoff that he received just one copy of the leaflet from a Yeshivah student named Aharon Victor and when he got home, he ripped it up.
************
Yediot Ahronot, November 27, 1995
In Jerusalem yesterday, a 16 year old yeshivah student was remanded for three days for distributing a leaflet of Yitzhak Rabin in an S.S. uniform at the rally in Zion Square. He admitted guilt and said he regretted his actions. According to him, Avishai Raviv was responsible for distributing the leaflet.
************
Ma'ariv, November 27, 1995
The police will question Avishai Raviv on suspicion that he distributed leaflets showing Rabin in an S.S. uniform at the right wing rally at Zion Square. One of the two arrested Yeshivah students had close ties to Raviv. Police will question other yeshivah students to establish the extent of the suspect's ties with Raviv.
At the time of the demonstration, when Rabin was very much alive, the issue of who distributed the leaflet was marginal. It didn't matter who distributed it, the issue was that Netanyahu didn't condemn the blown-up poster and leaflets from the podium. But Netanyahu couldn't and didn't see the posters from the stage. When he tried to explain that fact to the Knesset, Rabin indignantly walked out of the chamber.
And at the time, it seemed he [Rabin] had every right to put on his show of anger. But within two weeks of his death, the public knew about Raviv's role in the Shabak and the issue looked quite different. Nitzan Khen testified at the
Shamgar Commission hearings that Raviv and another Eyal member gave him the leaflet of Rabin in a Gestapo uniform. Rabin was responsible as Defence Minister for Shabak activities. He knew exactly who Raviv and Eyal were.
At a maximum, he [Rabin] approved the poster operation. At a minimum, he knew it was a Shabak ploy to weaken opposition to the peace process. Either way, by walking out of the Knesset while Netanyahu was speaking, he [Rabin] knew he was playing a dirty trick on his political rival.
How could Rabin have sunk that low? I believe he [Rabin] was just following instructions from the foreign, mostly American, forces behind the "peace" process. At that point, Netanyahu was leading Rabin in the polls by over 18% and a crowd exceeding 200,000 in a city [Jerusalem] of fewer than 400,000 Jews had gathered to support him [Netanyahu].
The country [Israel] was not divided in two over "peace". The vast majority had soured on the process. The month before, a Ma'ariv poll revealed that 78% of Israelis wanted a national referendum on whether to carry on the government's "peace" diplomacy. Members of the government were booed whenever they appeared in public, but none more so than Rabin.
In August, 50,000 fans at a soccer game between Israel and Brazil jeered in unison when he [Rabin] arrived. Not long after, he was humiliated when his speech before 1,000 English speaking immigrants was marred by the loudest uniformly loud long boo ever heard in Netanya.
A constant vigil of protesters stood outside Rabin's home in suburban Tel Aviv, but none was so vicious as the Eyal crowd who promised that he and his wife would hang in a public square like the Mussolinis. Eyal was playing a sophisticated game of delegitimizing legal protest through extra-legal extremism.
Raviv and his cohorts could only have gotten away with it with the connivance of the police, which meant the participation of Police Minister Moshe Shahal, the same Shahal who was sending mounted policemen into crowds to club thousands of anti-government demonstrators. Indeed, Raviv was held for questioning by the police for the 'Rabin as Gestapo officer' poster, but as in every previous case where the police questioned him, he was released shortly after to continue his fine work.
The public trusted Nitzan Khen and believed him when he testified to the Shamgar Commission that Avishai Raviv gave him the infamous leaflet. To cover up the truth, Captain Saidoff took the side of the notorious extremist Raviv over that of the respected journalist Khen. This was just a part of a much more wide-ranging pattern of a coverup of Eyal's activities by the police and Justice Ministry.
Marc Weiss writes in The Jewish Press, April 25, 1997:
Apparently, the Israeli Justice Department had been informed of Raviv's true identity and informant status, and was instructed not to bring agent 'Champagne' to trial for his illegal actions".
In a document obtained by The Jewish Press, the Special Branch of the Israeli Police that deals with extremist groups wrote to Raviv on February 21, 1996 informing him that they were closing their files and declining to prosecute him for the charges of "incitement" against the government. Ironically, the document cites "the lack of public interest" in Raviv's provocations as the reason.
This document -- when viewed in light of the fact that it was Raviv's repeated inciting declarations concerning the dire need and biblical permissibility of killing Rabin that laid the very foundation for Yigal Amir's actions -- is startling in its implications. Time and again, Raviv was permitted by the State Prosecutor's office to continue on with his campaign of provocation without fear of arrest or prison. The burning question that now cries out for an answer is why.
Why was Raviv never seriously prosecuted and why didn't Attorney-General Michael Ben-Yair order the Shin Bet [Shabak] to immediately curtail its illegal undercover activities?
Who was behind these decisions?
Moreover, how far up into the Justice Ministry and Prime Minister's Office did the discussions concerning Raviv reach?
Who exactly was behind the decision to give Gillon and Raviv carte blanche to continue to infiltrate and incite?
Who permitted Rabin and the Labor Party leadership to utilize the Israeli security services to discredit Netanyahu and the Likud?
Ma'ariv, November 23, 1995
The issue today is the question if Rabin was called to the Shabak head's office after he condemned Netanyahu in the Knesset for the Nazi uniform scandal to be told, "Mr. Prime Minister, you must know that the people who distributed the leaflet were not our political enemies but our own agents".
************
Yediot Ahronot, November 24,1 995
I can't believe the government itself distributed the leaflet showing the prime minister in a Nazi uniform. I'm certain the Shabak would never have gone ahead with this kind of operation on its own. However, the government exploited the issue viciously to wound the rival political camp which is made up of half the population.
It's a scandal. I don't know who decided on the operation that so slandered the prime minister and led to his demise. It's possible that the Shabak agent who distributed the leaflet had something to do with that.
************
Ma'ariv, November 20, 1995
The editorial staff of Ma'ariv asks the police and Justice Ministry...Why haven't you revealed which printing house published the leaflet and why haven't you found the person who ordered the printing?
************
Yediot Ahronot, November 20, 1995
Since Rabin's murder, claim Likud spokespeople, their political opposition has waged a cynical campaign aimed at blaming them for the incitement culminating with the poster of Rabin in a Nazi uniform, which led to the
murder...
Benny Begin asked: "Did the Shabak report to the politicians, before or after the rally, that their agent Raviv distributed the leaflets of the prime minister in a Nazi uniform?"
The difficult question is, did the political establishment know of Raviv's responsibility and cynically exploit it to gain politically by humiliating Binyamin Netanyahu?
Says Binyamin Netanyahu: "If even a part of what is being revealed is true, then there exists a serious threat to our democracy. We demand a full inquiry. We won't permit a coverup.
Immediately after the assassination, the media broadcast numerous claims that Netanyahu killed Rabin by creating the atmosphere which bred the killer. The "proof" of this absurd contention -- in fact, Netanyahu was a suspiciously weak opposition leader -- was always the poster of Rabin in the S.S. garb which he allegedly refused to condemn.
In the name of this Shabak-organized pre-assassination incitement, the police were far too ready to initiate a campaign of repression. The Justice Ministry passed a law making a broad definition of incitement illegal, and the roundups began.
Three rabbis accused of declaring Rabin a persecutor were held for questioning and one was imprisoned without charge for months. An Israeli farmer who expressed satisfaction with the murder during a C.N.N. interview was imprisoned for expressing an inciteful point of view. Shmuel Cytryn of Hebron, who exposed Raviv as a Shabak agent two months before the assassination, was arrested and imprisoned in solitary confinement for four months without ever being charged. Dozens of political opponents were arrested and jailed under Administrative Detention orders which permit arrest without charge. A well prepared clampdown and witch hunt of people opposed to the "peace" process gripped the nation and all because a poster led to an atmosphere that killed the now besainted former Prime Minister.
Netanyahu was humiliated time and again for his alleged role in the poster scandal. While Leah Rabin greeted Yasir Arafat in her home during the grieving period, she refused to host Netanyahu or even shake his hand when he offered condolences against at the funeral. Even a year later when he was prime minister, his attendance at a memorial service for Rabin was marred by protesters accusing him of as good as pulling the trigger by creating the atmosphere of hatred that spawned the murder.
But by now he [Netanyahu] was well aware of the truth. He knew that a Shabak provocateur was trying to force him out of the political arena by distributing the leaflets and displaying the poster. The May before, during his election campaign, he promised if elected to prosecute Avishai Raviv.
Yet after the assassination, while he [Netanyahu] was being vilified, he broke his promise to demand a commission of inquiry into Raviv's activities and after the election he broke his promise to prosecute Raviv.
Why wouldn't he [Netanyahu] want his good name and the good name of his party cleared?
Natan Gefen, a diligent researcher of the assassination, best known for acquiring a controversial and contentious death certificate from Ichilov Hospital certifying that Rabin was shot through the chest, thinks he knows why:
Before the election, I took the certificate to two Likud Knesset Members, Yossi Olmert and Dov Shilansky, fully expecting them to consider the political advantages of it. Olmert told me, "We don't need the document". A deal was cut, I'm sure of it. Labor didn't bring up Rabin's memory during the campaign and neither did the Likud. Peres stopped campaigning altogether, he threw the television debate with Netanyahu, he [Peres] was leading in all the polls by 4% the morning of the vote and he [Peres] still lost. Netanyahu got the full story from sympathizers in the Shabak and he agreed to hush it up in return for winning power. That's why the coverup is still going on like nothing changed after the elections.
Gefen's intuition proved right.
Two months later I was invited to a cabinet minister's office. The minister's spokesman informed me that the Likud had prepared a file containing which information about Rabin's murder would be released publicly if Labor utilized Rabin's name in the election campaign.

It was during such a witch hunt after the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin that I was interrogated, detained and unjustly deported from Israel.
The secular authorities didn't appreciate my article in Jerusalem (and read throughout Israel and now the world) that highlights the Temple Mount suffering under a Nazi-Muslim occupation against both secular and biblical law, illegally practicing religious discrimination daily against Jews and Christians, denying us freedom of entrance to our most holy site - the TEMPLE Mount - as the 1967 Law for the Protection of the Holy Places requires.
While Shabak interrogated me about the Temple Mount, they brought up Baruch Goldstein, asked me if I knew what a "rodef" is, trying to establish a pattern (that didn't exist) of support for vigilantes and ensnare me.
When Caesar Plays God: When the State Oversteps Its Bounds
Consul General Edward Abington, Jr.'s letter to Representative Marcy Kaptur further PROVES that I was not deported for any plot or terrorist activity whatsoever as falsely charged in smear campaigns (evident to every honest person), but the official Israeli lie/excuse for my unjust deportation, as noted in the letter, is "AN EXPIRED VISA."

YERUSHALIYIM, Israelite Tribal Territories of Judah and Benjamin, Kingdom of David and Solomon, United Israelite Kingdom of Judah and Joseph, Day 4, Eighth Month ("Cheshvan"), 5767; Yom Chamishi (Fifth Day of Week/"Thurs"-day, October 26, 2006), Root & Branch Information Services [mailto:rb@rb.org.il] [www.rb.org.il]:
Chapter Three: "Dirty Tricks"
While one of Eyal's main purposes was to enroll young idealists and radicalize them, another was to eliminate political leaders. Yitzhak Rabin was not the first victim, just the most permanent. Preceding him was today's prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
One month before Rabin's assassination, on October 5 [1995], another kind of rally took place in Jerusalem. A quarter of a million people gathered to protest the government's "peace" diplomacy. The featured speaker was Binyamin Netanyahu. The sheer size of the protest, which clogged downtown Jerusalem's streets for eight blocks, shocked the promulgators of the "peace" process.
To counterbalance the massive demonstration, two of the ["peace" process] promulgators, former Likud mayor of Tel Aviv Shlomo Lahat and a mysterious Frenchman who had been bankrolling a semi-sophisticated brainwashing campaign on behalf of the "peace" process, Jean Friedman, decided to organize an equally large demonstration in Tel Aviv. Even after busing many thousands of political hacks and youth group members -- a third Israeli Arabs organized to beef up the attendance -- only about half as many people showed up and the prime minister was assassinated there.
As was Netanyahu at the Jerusalem rally. Although it was only a character assassination, it served the same purpose of eliminating him [Netanyahu] from the political arena. And the man behind the assassination was also the same: Shabak officer Avishai Raviv.
The weapon he [Raviv] used was a poster of Rabin wearing a Gestapo uniform which Netanyahu was wrongly accused of having approved. Thus, he [Netanyahu] was later accused of creating the atmosphere which led directly to Rabin's murder. Ironically, it was Rabin himself who made the accusation that Netanyahu was inciting violence, in the Knesset.
The implications are profound. The prime minister is responsible for the Shabak and for approving its activities. Unless the Shabak dared to work behind his back, Rabin approved the Raviv operation, thus signing his own death warrant, and in all likelihood he also approved the use of the poster to humiliate Netanyahu.
Yediot Ahronot, November 19, 1995
According to testimony from Judea and Samaria Council spokesman Aharon Domb; Avishai Raviv along with other Eyal people were seen on the night of the demonstration in Zion Square (Jerusalem), October 5, distributing the poster.
************
Yediot Ahronot, November 20, 1995
Channel One reporter, Nitzan Khen, told viewers of last night's news program that just a few minutes before beginning to broadcast from the demonstration of the right at Zion Square, he was given a leaflet showing Rabin in an
Gestapo uniform by Avishai Raviv.
Khen: "Raviv came up to me with two other people known to me, an Eyal activist and Kach member. They came to the broadcast van and gave me the leaflet. After five or ten minutes Raviv returned to make sure I had broadcast it".
************
Yediot Ahronot, November 12, 1995
Police Captain Yehuda Saidoff: "I concluded that Nitzan Khen has a wild imagination and poor memory for facts. Raviv was more believable to me". Raviv told Saidoff that he received just one copy of the leaflet from a Yeshivah student named Aharon Victor and when he got home, he ripped it up.
************
Yediot Ahronot, November 27, 1995
In Jerusalem yesterday, a 16 year old yeshivah student was remanded for three days for distributing a leaflet of Yitzhak Rabin in an S.S. uniform at the rally in Zion Square. He admitted guilt and said he regretted his actions. According to him, Avishai Raviv was responsible for distributing the leaflet.
************
Ma'ariv, November 27, 1995
The police will question Avishai Raviv on suspicion that he distributed leaflets showing Rabin in an S.S. uniform at the right wing rally at Zion Square. One of the two arrested Yeshivah students had close ties to Raviv. Police will question other yeshivah students to establish the extent of the suspect's ties with Raviv.
At the time of the demonstration, when Rabin was very much alive, the issue of who distributed the leaflet was marginal. It didn't matter who distributed it, the issue was that Netanyahu didn't condemn the blown-up poster and leaflets from the podium. But Netanyahu couldn't and didn't see the posters from the stage. When he tried to explain that fact to the Knesset, Rabin indignantly walked out of the chamber.
And at the time, it seemed he [Rabin] had every right to put on his show of anger. But within two weeks of his death, the public knew about Raviv's role in the Shabak and the issue looked quite different. Nitzan Khen testified at the
Shamgar Commission hearings that Raviv and another Eyal member gave him the leaflet of Rabin in a Gestapo uniform. Rabin was responsible as Defence Minister for Shabak activities. He knew exactly who Raviv and Eyal were.
At a maximum, he [Rabin] approved the poster operation. At a minimum, he knew it was a Shabak ploy to weaken opposition to the peace process. Either way, by walking out of the Knesset while Netanyahu was speaking, he [Rabin] knew he was playing a dirty trick on his political rival.
How could Rabin have sunk that low? I believe he [Rabin] was just following instructions from the foreign, mostly American, forces behind the "peace" process. At that point, Netanyahu was leading Rabin in the polls by over 18% and a crowd exceeding 200,000 in a city [Jerusalem] of fewer than 400,000 Jews had gathered to support him [Netanyahu].
The country [Israel] was not divided in two over "peace". The vast majority had soured on the process. The month before, a Ma'ariv poll revealed that 78% of Israelis wanted a national referendum on whether to carry on the government's "peace" diplomacy. Members of the government were booed whenever they appeared in public, but none more so than Rabin.
In August, 50,000 fans at a soccer game between Israel and Brazil jeered in unison when he [Rabin] arrived. Not long after, he was humiliated when his speech before 1,000 English speaking immigrants was marred by the loudest uniformly loud long boo ever heard in Netanya.
A constant vigil of protesters stood outside Rabin's home in suburban Tel Aviv, but none was so vicious as the Eyal crowd who promised that he and his wife would hang in a public square like the Mussolinis. Eyal was playing a sophisticated game of delegitimizing legal protest through extra-legal extremism.
Raviv and his cohorts could only have gotten away with it with the connivance of the police, which meant the participation of Police Minister Moshe Shahal, the same Shahal who was sending mounted policemen into crowds to club thousands of anti-government demonstrators. Indeed, Raviv was held for questioning by the police for the 'Rabin as Gestapo officer' poster, but as in every previous case where the police questioned him, he was released shortly after to continue his fine work.
The public trusted Nitzan Khen and believed him when he testified to the Shamgar Commission that Avishai Raviv gave him the infamous leaflet. To cover up the truth, Captain Saidoff took the side of the notorious extremist Raviv over that of the respected journalist Khen. This was just a part of a much more wide-ranging pattern of a coverup of Eyal's activities by the police and Justice Ministry.
Marc Weiss writes in The Jewish Press, April 25, 1997:
Apparently, the Israeli Justice Department had been informed of Raviv's true identity and informant status, and was instructed not to bring agent 'Champagne' to trial for his illegal actions".
In a document obtained by The Jewish Press, the Special Branch of the Israeli Police that deals with extremist groups wrote to Raviv on February 21, 1996 informing him that they were closing their files and declining to prosecute him for the charges of "incitement" against the government. Ironically, the document cites "the lack of public interest" in Raviv's provocations as the reason.
This document -- when viewed in light of the fact that it was Raviv's repeated inciting declarations concerning the dire need and biblical permissibility of killing Rabin that laid the very foundation for Yigal Amir's actions -- is startling in its implications. Time and again, Raviv was permitted by the State Prosecutor's office to continue on with his campaign of provocation without fear of arrest or prison. The burning question that now cries out for an answer is why.
Why was Raviv never seriously prosecuted and why didn't Attorney-General Michael Ben-Yair order the Shin Bet [Shabak] to immediately curtail its illegal undercover activities?
Who was behind these decisions?
Moreover, how far up into the Justice Ministry and Prime Minister's Office did the discussions concerning Raviv reach?
Who exactly was behind the decision to give Gillon and Raviv carte blanche to continue to infiltrate and incite?
Who permitted Rabin and the Labor Party leadership to utilize the Israeli security services to discredit Netanyahu and the Likud?
Ma'ariv, November 23, 1995
The issue today is the question if Rabin was called to the Shabak head's office after he condemned Netanyahu in the Knesset for the Nazi uniform scandal to be told, "Mr. Prime Minister, you must know that the people who distributed the leaflet were not our political enemies but our own agents".
************
Yediot Ahronot, November 24,1 995
I can't believe the government itself distributed the leaflet showing the prime minister in a Nazi uniform. I'm certain the Shabak would never have gone ahead with this kind of operation on its own. However, the government exploited the issue viciously to wound the rival political camp which is made up of half the population.
It's a scandal. I don't know who decided on the operation that so slandered the prime minister and led to his demise. It's possible that the Shabak agent who distributed the leaflet had something to do with that.
************
Ma'ariv, November 20, 1995
The editorial staff of Ma'ariv asks the police and Justice Ministry...Why haven't you revealed which printing house published the leaflet and why haven't you found the person who ordered the printing?
************
Yediot Ahronot, November 20, 1995
Since Rabin's murder, claim Likud spokespeople, their political opposition has waged a cynical campaign aimed at blaming them for the incitement culminating with the poster of Rabin in a Nazi uniform, which led to the
murder...
Benny Begin asked: "Did the Shabak report to the politicians, before or after the rally, that their agent Raviv distributed the leaflets of the prime minister in a Nazi uniform?"
The difficult question is, did the political establishment know of Raviv's responsibility and cynically exploit it to gain politically by humiliating Binyamin Netanyahu?
Says Binyamin Netanyahu: "If even a part of what is being revealed is true, then there exists a serious threat to our democracy. We demand a full inquiry. We won't permit a coverup.
Immediately after the assassination, the media broadcast numerous claims that Netanyahu killed Rabin by creating the atmosphere which bred the killer. The "proof" of this absurd contention -- in fact, Netanyahu was a suspiciously weak opposition leader -- was always the poster of Rabin in the S.S. garb which he allegedly refused to condemn.
In the name of this Shabak-organized pre-assassination incitement, the police were far too ready to initiate a campaign of repression. The Justice Ministry passed a law making a broad definition of incitement illegal, and the roundups began.
Three rabbis accused of declaring Rabin a persecutor were held for questioning and one was imprisoned without charge for months. An Israeli farmer who expressed satisfaction with the murder during a C.N.N. interview was imprisoned for expressing an inciteful point of view. Shmuel Cytryn of Hebron, who exposed Raviv as a Shabak agent two months before the assassination, was arrested and imprisoned in solitary confinement for four months without ever being charged. Dozens of political opponents were arrested and jailed under Administrative Detention orders which permit arrest without charge. A well prepared clampdown and witch hunt of people opposed to the "peace" process gripped the nation and all because a poster led to an atmosphere that killed the now besainted former Prime Minister.
Netanyahu was humiliated time and again for his alleged role in the poster scandal. While Leah Rabin greeted Yasir Arafat in her home during the grieving period, she refused to host Netanyahu or even shake his hand when he offered condolences against at the funeral. Even a year later when he was prime minister, his attendance at a memorial service for Rabin was marred by protesters accusing him of as good as pulling the trigger by creating the atmosphere of hatred that spawned the murder.
But by now he [Netanyahu] was well aware of the truth. He knew that a Shabak provocateur was trying to force him out of the political arena by distributing the leaflets and displaying the poster. The May before, during his election campaign, he promised if elected to prosecute Avishai Raviv.
Yet after the assassination, while he [Netanyahu] was being vilified, he broke his promise to demand a commission of inquiry into Raviv's activities and after the election he broke his promise to prosecute Raviv.
Why wouldn't he [Netanyahu] want his good name and the good name of his party cleared?
Natan Gefen, a diligent researcher of the assassination, best known for acquiring a controversial and contentious death certificate from Ichilov Hospital certifying that Rabin was shot through the chest, thinks he knows why:
Before the election, I took the certificate to two Likud Knesset Members, Yossi Olmert and Dov Shilansky, fully expecting them to consider the political advantages of it. Olmert told me, "We don't need the document". A deal was cut, I'm sure of it. Labor didn't bring up Rabin's memory during the campaign and neither did the Likud. Peres stopped campaigning altogether, he threw the television debate with Netanyahu, he [Peres] was leading in all the polls by 4% the morning of the vote and he [Peres] still lost. Netanyahu got the full story from sympathizers in the Shabak and he agreed to hush it up in return for winning power. That's why the coverup is still going on like nothing changed after the elections.
Gefen's intuition proved right.
Two months later I was invited to a cabinet minister's office. The minister's spokesman informed me that the Likud had prepared a file containing which information about Rabin's murder would be released publicly if Labor utilized Rabin's name in the election campaign.

It was during such a witch hunt after the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin that I was interrogated, detained and unjustly deported from Israel.
The secular authorities didn't appreciate my article in Jerusalem (and read throughout Israel and now the world) that highlights the Temple Mount suffering under a Nazi-Muslim occupation against both secular and biblical law, illegally practicing religious discrimination daily against Jews and Christians, denying us freedom of entrance to our most holy site - the TEMPLE Mount - as the 1967 Law for the Protection of the Holy Places requires.
While Shabak interrogated me about the Temple Mount, they brought up Baruch Goldstein, asked me if I knew what a "rodef" is, trying to establish a pattern (that didn't exist) of support for vigilantes and ensnare me.
When Caesar Plays God: When the State Oversteps Its Bounds
Consul General Edward Abington, Jr.'s letter to Representative Marcy Kaptur further PROVES that I was not deported for any plot or terrorist activity whatsoever as falsely charged in smear campaigns (evident to every honest person), but the official Israeli lie/excuse for my unjust deportation, as noted in the letter, is "AN EXPIRED VISA."

Blast Gaza!
After reading Israeli military petitioning to reoccupy Gaza (Aaron Klein/WorldNetDaily), I'm angered to write that the bleeding wound of Gaza should have been cauterized years ago, turned into a crater, and its vile inhabitants destroyed or expelled to their many Arab countries of origin. Israel could have offered overwhelming evidence to the world media of the Gazans preparation and declarations of war, going on the offensive for once, and taking the preemptive strike any self-respecting nation would exercise immediately.
Don't you get weary of supporting a strong Israel when the Israelis elect parties determined to undermine Israeli sovereignty, expel Jews, reward terrorism and refuse to do the right thing? (Can you say Kadima?)
Why should Christian Zionists and Jews (in self-imposed exile) be more concerned than the Israelis who are reaping what they've sown? Yes, we love and encourage those who truly are Zionist and love all the Land, but even they refuse to get their act together and form a united front against the onslaught of UNJews (bought and paid for by foreigners, especially the entire Israeli oligarchy), sworn Arab enemies and imminent EU occupation.
Kadima train to Auschwitz borders: Don't get on board!
Israeli Sheeple & Nazi-Muslims
Israeli Jews could Learn from Christian Zionists
It appears all we can do is continue to WARN ISRAELIS OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ACTIONS and sigh and cry as the terrible darkness descends that the Prophets foretold, the Time of Jacob's Trouble, that only divine intervention will be able to deliver us out of as Two Witnesses, in the spirit of Elijah, will testify.

Yitzhak Rabin
"WHO MURDERED YITZHAK RABIN?" Chapter One
copyright (c) 1998, 2006, by Mr. Barry Chamish
www.thebarrychamishwebsite.com
R&B Editor's Notes:
Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin?: The Root & Branch Information Services is serializing the book Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin?, by Mr. Barry Chamish, with permission of the author, to commemorate the upcoming eleventh anniversary of the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin (November 4, 1995 -- November 4, 2006).
The Bible Says:
"How is the faithful city [Jerusalem] become a harlot. She that was full of justice, righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers. Your silver is become dross, your wine is mixed with water. Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves; every one loves bribes, and follows after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
Therefore, says the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I will ease Me of My adversaries, and avenge Me of My enemies; and I will turn My hand upon you, and purge away your dross as with lye, and will take away all your allow; and I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counsellors as at the beginning; afterward you [Jerusalem] shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city. Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and they who return of her with righteousness.
But the destruction of the transgressors and the sinners shall be together, and they who forsake the Lord shall be consumed. For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the garden that you have chosen. For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water. And the strong shall be as tow, and his work as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them".
[Yeshayahu/Isaiah 1:21-31]
YERUSHALIYIM, Israelite Tribal Territories of Judah and Benjamin, Kingdom of David and Solomon, United Israelite Kingdom of Judah and Joseph, Yom Revi'i, Day 19, Seventh Month ("Tishrei"), 5767 ("Wednes"-day, October 11, 2006), Root & Branch Information Services [mailto:rb@rb.org.il] [www.rb.org.il]:
It took almost two years for the American public to suspect a conspiracy was involved in the Kennedy assassination. It took less than two weeks before suspicions arose among many Israelis that Rabin was not murdered by a lone gunman.
The first to propose the possibility, on November 11 [1995], was Professor Michael Hersiger, a Tel Aviv University historian. He told the Israeli press, "There is no rational explanation for the Rabin assassination. There is no explaining the breakdown. In my opinion there was a conspiracy involving the Shabak. It turns out the murderer was in the Shabak when he went to Riga. He was given documents that permitted him to buy a gun. He was still connected to the Shabak at the time of the murder".
Hersiger's instincts were right but he believed the conspirators were from a Right wing rogue group in the Shabak. It wasn't long before suspicions switched to the Left. On the 16th of November [1995], a territorial leader and today Knesset Member Benny Elon called a press conference during which he announced, "There is a strong suspicion that Eyal and Avishai Raviv not only were connected loosely to the Shabak but worked directly for the Shabak. This group incited the murder. I insist that not only did the Shabak know about Eyal, it founded and funded the group".
The public reaction was basically, "Utter nonsense". Yet Elon turned out to be right on the money. How did he know ahead of everyone else?
Film director Merav Ktorza and her cameraman Alon Eilat interviewed Elon in January, 1996. Off camera he told them, "Yitzhak Shamir called me into his office a month before the assassination and told me, 'They're planning to do another Arlosorov on us. Last time they did it, we didn't get into power for fifty years. I want you to identify anyone you hear of threatening to murder Rabin and stop him'".
In 1933, a Left wing leader named Chaim Arlosorov was murdered in Tel Aviv and the Right wing Revisionists were blamed for it. This was Israel's first political murder and its repercussions were far stronger than those of the Rabin assassination, which saw the new Likud Revisionists assume power within a year.
Shamir was the former head of the Mossad's European desk and had extensive intelligence ties. He was informed of the impending [Rabin] assassination in October [1995]. Two witnesses heard Elon make this remarkable claim but he would not go on camera with it or any other statement. Shortly after his famous press conference and testimony to the Shamgar Commission, Elon stopped talking publicly about the assassination.
There are two theories about Elon's sudden shyness. Shmuel Cytryn, the Hebron resident who was jailed without charge for first identifying Raviv as a Shabak agent, has hinted that Elon played some role in the Raviv affair and he was covering his tracks at the press conference.
Ktorza and Eilat believe that pressure was applied on Elon using legal threats against his niece Margalit Har Shefi. Because of her acquaintanceship with Amir, she was charged as an accessory to the assassination. To back up their threats, the Shabak had Amir write a rambling, incriminating letter to Har Shefi from prison. The fear of his niece spending a decade in jail would surely have been enough to put a clamp down on Elon.
"Utter nonsense" turned into utter reality the next night [November 12, 1995] when journalist Amnon Abramovitch announced on national television that the leader of Eyal, Yigal Amir's good friend Avishai Raviv, was a Shabak agent code named "Champagne" for the bubbles of incitement he raised.
The Abramovitch announcement caused a national uproar. One example from the media reaction sums up the shock.
Ma'ariv wrote:
"Amnon Abramovitch dropped a bombshell last night, announcing that Avishai Raviv was a Shabak agent code named 'Champagne'. Now we ask the question, why didn't he report Yigal Amir's plan to murder Rabin to his superiors...? In conversations with security officials, the following picture emerged. Eyal was under close supervision of the Shabak. They supported it monetarily for the past two years. The Shabak knew the names of all Eyal members, including Yigal Amir".
That same day, November 19, 1995, Yediot Ahronot reported details of a conspiracy that will not go away:
"There is a version of the Rabin assassination that includes a deep conspiracy within the Shabak. The Raviv affair is a cornerstone of the conspiracy plan. Yesterday, a story spread among the settlers that Amir was supposed to fire a blank bullet but he knew he was being set up so he replaced the blanks with real bullets. The story explains why after the shooting, the bodyguards shouted that 'the bullets were blanks'. The story sounds fantastic but the Shabak's silence is fueling it".
Without the "Champagne" leak, this book would likely not be written. Despite all the conflicting testimony at the Shamgar Commission, the book would have been closed on Yigal Amir and the conspiracy would have been a success. But Abramovitch's scoop established a direct sinister connection between the murderer and the people protecting the prime minister.
So who was responsible for the leak? There are two candidates who were deeply involved in the protection of Eyal but probably knew nothing of its plans to murder Rabin. They are then-Police Minister Moshe Shahal and then-Attorney General Michael Ben Yair.
Shahal was asked for his reaction to the Abramovitch announcement. He said simply, "Amnon Abramovitch is a very reliable journalist". In short, Shahal immediately verified the Champagne story. Not that Shahal didn't know the truth, as revealed in the Israeli press:
Ma'ariv, November 24, 1995
"The police issued numerous warrants against Avishai Raviv but he was never arrested. There was never a search of his home".
Kol Ha Ir, January, 1996
Nati Levy: "It occurs to me in retrospect that I was arrested on numerous occasions but Raviv, not once. There was a youth from Shiloh who was arrested for burning a car. He told the police that he did it on Raviv's orders. Raviv was held and released the same day".
Yediot Ahronot, May 12, 1995
"When they aren't involved in swearing-in ceremonies, Eyal members relax in a Kiryat Araba apartment near the home of Baruch Goldstein's family. The police have been unsuccessfully searching for the apartment for some time".
Everyone in the media knew about the apartment, as did everyone in Kiryat Arba. It was in the same building as the apartment of Baruch Goldstein, the alleged murderer of 29 Arabs in the Hebron massacre of March, 1994. The police left it alone because Raviv used it for surveillance.
Raviv was also immune to arrest for such minor crimes as arson and threatening to kill Jews and Arabs in televised swearing-in ceremonies. But police inaction was inexcusable in two well-publicized incidents:
Yerushalayim, November 10, 1995
"Eyal activists have been meeting with Hamas and Islamic Jihad members to plan joint operations".
This item was reported throughout the country, but Avishai Raviv was not arrested for treason, terrorism and cavorting with the enemy. Less explainable yet was the police reaction to Raviv taking responsibility, "credit" as he called it, for the murder of three Palestinians in the town of Halhoul.
On December 11, 1993, three Arabs were killed by men wearing Israeli army uniforms. Eyal called the media the next day claiming the slaughter was its work. But Moshe Shahal did not order the arrest of Eyal members; rather, according to Globes (December 13, 1993):
"Shahal told the cabinet that heightened action was being taken to find the killers and to withdraw the legal rights of the guilty organization".
Supposedly, Shahal knew that Eyal was behind the murder. In fact, Shahal knew that Eyal was not responsible, he knew they took responsibility to blacken the name of West Bank settlers and he said nothing. After a week of international condemnation of the settlers, the army arrested the real murderers, four Arabs from the town.
At that point, Shahal should have had Raviv arrested for issuing the false proclamation on behalf of Eyal. But Shahal did not because he was ordered not to interfere with this Shabak operation.
As was Attorney-General Michael Ben Yair who was so terrified of what could be revealed at the Shamgar Commission that Ben Yair sat in on every session on behalf of the government and later approved, along with Prime Minister Peres, the sections to be hidden from the public.
After the assassination, it emerged that two Left wing Knesset members had previously submitted complaints against Eyal to Ben Yair. On March 5, 1995, Dedi Tzuker asked Ben Yair to investigate Eyal after it distributed inciteful literature at a Jerusalem high school. And on September 24, 1995, Yael Dayan requested that Ben Yair open an investigation of Eyal in the wake of its televised vow to spill the blood of Jews and Arabs who stood in the way of their goals. He [Ben Yair] ignored both petitions, later explaining, "Those requests should have been submitted to the army or the Defence Minister", who happened to be Yitzhak Rabin.
Both Shahal and Ben Yair were, probably unwittingly, ordered to cover up Eyal's incitements. But when one incitement turned out to be the murder of Rabin, one of them [Shahal and Ben Yair] panicked and decided to place all the blame on the Shabak.
Which one?
According to Abramovitch, "I have a legal background so my source was a high ranking legal official". It sounds like the winner is Ben Yair...which hardly exonerates him or Shahal for supplying Eyal with immunity from arrest or prosecution, without which the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin would not have been possible.
However, Ben Yair opened a police complaint against the "leak", and as late as June of 1996, reporter Abramovich was summoned to give evidence.
The leak thus came from a "traitor" in Ben Yair or Shahal's offices. And because there are Israelis who know the truth and are willing to secretly part with it, this book could be written.

For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the garden that you have chosen. For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water. And the strong shall be as tow, and his work as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them".
[Yeshayahu/Isaiah 1:21-31]
YERUSHALIYIM, Israelite Tribal Territories of Judah and Benjamin, Kingdom of David and Solomon, United Israelite Kingdom of Judah and Joseph, Yom Revi'i, Day 19, Seventh Month ("Tishrei"), 5767 ("Wednes"-day, October 11, 2006), Root & Branch Information Services [mailto:rb@rb.org.il] [www.rb.org.il]:
It took almost two years for the American public to suspect a conspiracy was involved in the Kennedy assassination. It took less than two weeks before suspicions arose among many Israelis that Rabin was not murdered by a lone gunman.
The first to propose the possibility, on November 11 [1995], was Professor Michael Hersiger, a Tel Aviv University historian. He told the Israeli press, "There is no rational explanation for the Rabin assassination. There is no explaining the breakdown. In my opinion there was a conspiracy involving the Shabak. It turns out the murderer was in the Shabak when he went to Riga. He was given documents that permitted him to buy a gun. He was still connected to the Shabak at the time of the murder".
Hersiger's instincts were right but he believed the conspirators were from a Right wing rogue group in the Shabak. It wasn't long before suspicions switched to the Left. On the 16th of November [1995], a territorial leader and today Knesset Member Benny Elon called a press conference during which he announced, "There is a strong suspicion that Eyal and Avishai Raviv not only were connected loosely to the Shabak but worked directly for the Shabak. This group incited the murder. I insist that not only did the Shabak know about Eyal, it founded and funded the group".
The public reaction was basically, "Utter nonsense". Yet Elon turned out to be right on the money. How did he know ahead of everyone else?
Film director Merav Ktorza and her cameraman Alon Eilat interviewed Elon in January, 1996. Off camera he told them, "Yitzhak Shamir called me into his office a month before the assassination and told me, 'They're planning to do another Arlosorov on us. Last time they did it, we didn't get into power for fifty years. I want you to identify anyone you hear of threatening to murder Rabin and stop him'".
In 1933, a Left wing leader named Chaim Arlosorov was murdered in Tel Aviv and the Right wing Revisionists were blamed for it. This was Israel's first political murder and its repercussions were far stronger than those of the Rabin assassination, which saw the new Likud Revisionists assume power within a year.
Shamir was the former head of the Mossad's European desk and had extensive intelligence ties. He was informed of the impending [Rabin] assassination in October [1995]. Two witnesses heard Elon make this remarkable claim but he would not go on camera with it or any other statement. Shortly after his famous press conference and testimony to the Shamgar Commission, Elon stopped talking publicly about the assassination.
There are two theories about Elon's sudden shyness. Shmuel Cytryn, the Hebron resident who was jailed without charge for first identifying Raviv as a Shabak agent, has hinted that Elon played some role in the Raviv affair and he was covering his tracks at the press conference.
Ktorza and Eilat believe that pressure was applied on Elon using legal threats against his niece Margalit Har Shefi. Because of her acquaintanceship with Amir, she was charged as an accessory to the assassination. To back up their threats, the Shabak had Amir write a rambling, incriminating letter to Har Shefi from prison. The fear of his niece spending a decade in jail would surely have been enough to put a clamp down on Elon.
"Utter nonsense" turned into utter reality the next night [November 12, 1995] when journalist Amnon Abramovitch announced on national television that the leader of Eyal, Yigal Amir's good friend Avishai Raviv, was a Shabak agent code named "Champagne" for the bubbles of incitement he raised.
The Abramovitch announcement caused a national uproar. One example from the media reaction sums up the shock.
Ma'ariv wrote:
"Amnon Abramovitch dropped a bombshell last night, announcing that Avishai Raviv was a Shabak agent code named 'Champagne'. Now we ask the question, why didn't he report Yigal Amir's plan to murder Rabin to his superiors...? In conversations with security officials, the following picture emerged. Eyal was under close supervision of the Shabak. They supported it monetarily for the past two years. The Shabak knew the names of all Eyal members, including Yigal Amir".
That same day, November 19, 1995, Yediot Ahronot reported details of a conspiracy that will not go away:
"There is a version of the Rabin assassination that includes a deep conspiracy within the Shabak. The Raviv affair is a cornerstone of the conspiracy plan. Yesterday, a story spread among the settlers that Amir was supposed to fire a blank bullet but he knew he was being set up so he replaced the blanks with real bullets. The story explains why after the shooting, the bodyguards shouted that 'the bullets were blanks'. The story sounds fantastic but the Shabak's silence is fueling it".
Without the "Champagne" leak, this book would likely not be written. Despite all the conflicting testimony at the Shamgar Commission, the book would have been closed on Yigal Amir and the conspiracy would have been a success. But Abramovitch's scoop established a direct sinister connection between the murderer and the people protecting the prime minister.
So who was responsible for the leak? There are two candidates who were deeply involved in the protection of Eyal but probably knew nothing of its plans to murder Rabin. They are then-Police Minister Moshe Shahal and then-Attorney General Michael Ben Yair.
Shahal was asked for his reaction to the Abramovitch announcement. He said simply, "Amnon Abramovitch is a very reliable journalist". In short, Shahal immediately verified the Champagne story. Not that Shahal didn't know the truth, as revealed in the Israeli press:
Ma'ariv, November 24, 1995
"The police issued numerous warrants against Avishai Raviv but he was never arrested. There was never a search of his home".
Kol Ha Ir, January, 1996
Nati Levy: "It occurs to me in retrospect that I was arrested on numerous occasions but Raviv, not once. There was a youth from Shiloh who was arrested for burning a car. He told the police that he did it on Raviv's orders. Raviv was held and released the same day".
Yediot Ahronot, May 12, 1995
"When they aren't involved in swearing-in ceremonies, Eyal members relax in a Kiryat Araba apartment near the home of Baruch Goldstein's family. The police have been unsuccessfully searching for the apartment for some time".
Everyone in the media knew about the apartment, as did everyone in Kiryat Arba. It was in the same building as the apartment of Baruch Goldstein, the alleged murderer of 29 Arabs in the Hebron massacre of March, 1994. The police left it alone because Raviv used it for surveillance.
Raviv was also immune to arrest for such minor crimes as arson and threatening to kill Jews and Arabs in televised swearing-in ceremonies. But police inaction was inexcusable in two well-publicized incidents:
Yerushalayim, November 10, 1995
"Eyal activists have been meeting with Hamas and Islamic Jihad members to plan joint operations".
This item was reported throughout the country, but Avishai Raviv was not arrested for treason, terrorism and cavorting with the enemy. Less explainable yet was the police reaction to Raviv taking responsibility, "credit" as he called it, for the murder of three Palestinians in the town of Halhoul.
On December 11, 1993, three Arabs were killed by men wearing Israeli army uniforms. Eyal called the media the next day claiming the slaughter was its work. But Moshe Shahal did not order the arrest of Eyal members; rather, according to Globes (December 13, 1993):
"Shahal told the cabinet that heightened action was being taken to find the killers and to withdraw the legal rights of the guilty organization".
Supposedly, Shahal knew that Eyal was behind the murder. In fact, Shahal knew that Eyal was not responsible, he knew they took responsibility to blacken the name of West Bank settlers and he said nothing. After a week of international condemnation of the settlers, the army arrested the real murderers, four Arabs from the town.
At that point, Shahal should have had Raviv arrested for issuing the false proclamation on behalf of Eyal. But Shahal did not because he was ordered not to interfere with this Shabak operation.
As was Attorney-General Michael Ben Yair who was so terrified of what could be revealed at the Shamgar Commission that Ben Yair sat in on every session on behalf of the government and later approved, along with Prime Minister Peres, the sections to be hidden from the public.
After the assassination, it emerged that two Left wing Knesset members had previously submitted complaints against Eyal to Ben Yair. On March 5, 1995, Dedi Tzuker asked Ben Yair to investigate Eyal after it distributed inciteful literature at a Jerusalem high school. And on September 24, 1995, Yael Dayan requested that Ben Yair open an investigation of Eyal in the wake of its televised vow to spill the blood of Jews and Arabs who stood in the way of their goals. He [Ben Yair] ignored both petitions, later explaining, "Those requests should have been submitted to the army or the Defence Minister", who happened to be Yitzhak Rabin.
Both Shahal and Ben Yair were, probably unwittingly, ordered to cover up Eyal's incitements. But when one incitement turned out to be the murder of Rabin, one of them [Shahal and Ben Yair] panicked and decided to place all the blame on the Shabak.
Which one?
According to Abramovitch, "I have a legal background so my source was a high ranking legal official". It sounds like the winner is Ben Yair...which hardly exonerates him or Shahal for supplying Eyal with immunity from arrest or prosecution, without which the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin would not have been possible.
However, Ben Yair opened a police complaint against the "leak", and as late as June of 1996, reporter Abramovich was summoned to give evidence.
The leak thus came from a "traitor" in Ben Yair or Shahal's offices. And because there are Israelis who know the truth and are willing to secretly part with it, this book could be written.

"How is the faithful city [Jerusalem] become a harlot. She that was full of justice, righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers. Your silver is become dross, your wine is mixed with water. Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves; every one loves bribes, and follows after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
Therefore, says the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I will ease Me of My adversaries, and avenge Me of My enemies; and I will turn My hand upon you, and purge away your dross as with lye, and will take away all your allow; and I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counsellors as at the beginning; afterward you [Jerusalem] shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city. Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and they who return of her with righteousness.
But the destruction of the transgressors and the sinners shall be together, and they who forsake the Lord shall be consumed. For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the garden that you have chosen.

Introduction
There are good assassination conspiracies where the murderers never get caught. The conspiracy to murder Yitzhak Rabin was not one of them. It was a sloppy conspiracy and the murderers may eventually pay for the deed. They left too many indisputable clues to escape justice...if indeed, the Israeli political establishment is really interested in justice. For a variety of reasons, it may not be.
Yitzhak Rabin was a prime target for assassination. As prime minister, a peace process with the P.L.O. and Syria was forced upon him from abroad and he became a far too willing advocate of a diplomacy which was leading to Israel's sure demise. He faced mortal danger from two opposing camps; the minions of Israelis who fought the so-called peace process and the foreign and Israeli power brokers who devised and supported it. The former were blamed for the murder while the latter were responsible for it.
However, be forewarned; this book does not delve into Rabin's murky diplomatic ties nor does it name who gave the order for the assassination. The reason is simple enough; the author doesn't know who was at the top of the conspiracy. Nonetheless, readers of this book will discover who had to have been in the operational level. The purpose of this book, then, is to prove that Rabin could not possibly have been killed by his accused murderer, Yigal Amir. The author completely succeeds at that task.
To keep the peace process on track, it was vital that all opponents to it be de-legitimized. Opposition came from all quarters in Israel, even from within Rabin's Labour Party which saw a faction break off and eventually join the later Likud-led government. But the most vocal opponents were religious, right wing and often, Sephardi.
The alleged murderer of Rabin, Yigal Amir was all three. He was the most politically useful patsy that could be devised. Yigal Amir was an activist of an intelligence front organization called Eyal. It was created by the General Security Services (Shabak) and the man in charge was Avishai Raviv, a Shabak agent since 1987. His assignment was to attract anti-peace process radicals to Eyal and set them up for arrest. One of his duties was to provoke Yigal Amir into shooting Rabin and the author has gathered ample testimony from people who witnessed his [Raviv's] methods.
Many, if not most of the Shabak agents, and possibly several policeman on duty the night of the assassination were instructed to allow a sting operation to take place. Yigal Amir would be provided with a gun without real bullets in the clip. He would shoot a blank at Rabin and be caught red-handed. Rabin's government would then have the justification to order a nation-wide crackdown on opponents of the peace process.
And indeed, after Rabin was shot, Shabak agents yelled "They're blanks", "It was a toy gun", "It's an exercise", "They were caps", "It wasn't real", "Dummy bullets", and the like because they thought a sting had taken place.
But there was a double cross. Amir shot his blank bullet and Rabin, very much alive, was shoved into his limousine where the real assassin waited. The vehicle conveniently got lost and the one minute trip to the hospital took over eight minutes down the dark streets of Tel Aviv. During that time the murderer completed his job and left the car.
That is not speculation nor, in the author's opinion, even theory. That is what happened and the following book will prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt. The author has collected hundreds of pages of police reports, court protocols, public and personal testimony in a mostly successful attempt to solve this deadly mystery.
Just a few of the clues the conspirators left behind include:
The "amateur" film of the assassination showing Rabin's back car door being slammed shut before he enters the vehicle. Someone was waiting inside the car for Rabin.
The same film documenting that Rabin's bodyguards allowed Amir to take a clear shot at the prime minister and that he survived it.
Testimony from witnesses a few feet from Rabin, including his wife, who saw him continue walking briskly after being shot. Ten minutes after the "shooting", one witness, Miriam Oren, told a national television audience, "Rabin wasn't
hurt. I saw him walk into the car".
Testimony from numerous security and police officers who did not believe Rabin was shot because he didn't fall, cry out in pain, nor bleed.
Police laboratory tests concluding that Rabin was shot point blank, though the government's commission of inquiry concluded that Amir shot from a good half meter's distance.
The Police ballistics report stating that Amir's clip contained eight bullets, though he only loaded nine.
The unexplainable disappearance of the bullets for 22 hours after their supposed removal from Rabin's body.
The death certificate signed by Dr. Mordecai Gutman, one of the surgeons who operated on Rabin, stating that he was shot through the chest from the front and that his spine was shattered, claims backed the same evening by an operating room nurse, the Health Minister, the Director of Ichilov Hospital, a patient and even Foreign Minister Shimon Peres. The
official version of events has Amir shooting Rabin in the back with no spinal damage.
These are mere teasers. The conspiracy was so bad that besides abundant physical evidence left behind, the conspirators themselves didn't coordinate their testimony. So, one after another they contradicted each other.
The author personally believes the assassination has America written all over it. Compare Amir with the patsy of the J.F.K. drama, Lee Harvey Oswald:
Lee Harvey Oswald left the marines and flew to the Soviet Union on an intelligence assignment which saw him stationed in Minsk.
Yigal Amir finished his army service in a combat unit and was sent to the Soviet Union by an intelligence branch of the Prime Minister's Office which saw him assigned to Riga.
Oswald returned to America and became an activist for a C.I.A. front called The Fair Play For Cuba Committee.
Amir returned to Israel and became an activist for a Shabak front called Eyal.
Oswald was inexplicably befriended by a C.I.A. operative, Guy Banister.
Amir made a new friend, the Shabak operative, Avishai Raviv.
Oswald made certain he appeared on television in a street debate over Cuba.
Amir made certain he appeared on television being taken away from an anti-peace process rally kicking and shouting.
It would have been so simple if an aggrieved radical had actually assassinated Rabin. No one would have suspected a thing. But Amir had deep ties to the very people who were charged with protecting the prime minister. They arranged a fake assassination by the fall guy and let the professional hit man do the real work of murder.
Amir and Rabin were not the only victims of the assassination branch of the Shabak. There were many others, both Jew and Arab. We can only hope that this book will help see that they were the last.
