Israel On Killing Spree In Gaza

[Terry Mauro]

I am not alone in thinking that Shimon Peres was complicit in the assassination of Yitzak Rabin. But if you're prepared to do a "JFK" on your own leader to ensure war-war rather than jaw-jaw, then killing and maiming a few hundred kids don't amount to much of a stir at all I suppose.

But you're right Mark it was a thoroughly unpleasant and inhuman thing to say and in saying it Peres reveals himself for what he really is.

Damn real, Dav!

I liked Rabin, and thought there may have been hope for peace in the Middle East, had he been allowed to go ahead and implement the policies he had planned for Israel. It even appeared as if Israel, for once, might be able to stand on its own two feet, as a nation who'd be a willing, active participant and contributor to the health and well-being of ALL the inhabitants of the region.

Therefore, his assassination on November 4, 1995, was a bitter blow dealt to the territory, and seemed to smack of being an "inside" job, much the same as how I had remembered thinking about November 22, 1963.

I experienced that same acute feeling of loss that I did in 1963.
