Yitzhak Rabin/Assassination

Needs a general tidy and more references

Israeli Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated on November 4, 1995 as part of a conspiracy by a unit inside the Israeli General Security Services (aka the Shabak), the Israeli equivalent of the U.S. Secret Service in charge of protecting the Prime Minister. The architect of the Assassination was Eli Barak, which he planned at the behest of Shabak Chief Carmi Gillon whose aim was to thwart the Oslo Accords. This was done with the advice (and tacit acceptance) of the CIA and the Likud.

The Videotape

Two months after the assassination, an amateur videotape of it emerged and was broadcast a single time on Israeli Channel Two. The videography location is improbable and quality is blurry.

In the film, just before Amir makes his move before Rabin's back, the bodyguard stops dead in his tracks, turns his head sideways, and allows Amir in. After Amir shoots, Rabin turns his head in the direction of the shot and keeps walking, apparently unhurt by the shot in the back.

The Hospital Drive and Hospitalization

The Drive to the hospital should have taken less than a minute, but the driver, Menachem Damti, claimed he became confused and got lost. It took him nine minutes to arrive. Seven minutes into the drive, he stopped and asked a copy, Pinchas Terem, to get into the car and direct him to the hospital.

In October 1996, a Ramat Gan computer technician and citizen investigator named Natan Gefen was interviewed for a local newspaper. He posted copies of the article with his interview with his fax number and a request for proof on bulletin boards in Ilichov hospital where Rabin was taken. Somebody faxed him Rabin's medical records. The records showed surgeon Dr. Moredchai Gutman recorded that Rabin arrived to the hospital with two bullet holes in his back and was revived. In the hospital, he was shot again, this time with a bullet that passed through the upper lobe of his right long from the front shattering dorsal vertebrae five and six.

Bodyguard Yoav Kuriel

Israeli media reported Rabin bodyguard Yoav Kuriel died a suicide the day after the Assassination, distraught over his failure to protect Rabin. In 1997 a death certificate emerged showing he died of seven bullets to the chest, but nobody was allowed to identify his remains.

American Involvement

American Deep State actor Evan S. Dobelle was leading a "spiritual" delegation from Trinity College in Hartford Connecticut to Israel and had pre-booked a hotel room in the hotel where American President William Clinton ended up staying. Minutes before Rabin's death, Dobelle was seen on stage with Rabin. In accordance with Jewish Custom, the funeral was held very soon after the death, and many in the White House noted the change in schedule appeared to be pre-planned. In the context of the Clinton Administration and American support, the peace effort behind the Camp David Accords appears sincere; however, Clinton himself was substantially compromised by the CIA due to blackmail dating from his Arkansas governorship.

Context

Israeli politics and society was highly divided, and Rabin had just held a peace rally, which he was leaving only to be shot by blanks by an Israeli right-wing extremist. Based upon Rabin's experience, the general consensus among researchers is that Rabin had agreed to fake an assassination attempt as an effort to unify Israeli society, but he was shot by the Shabak en route to the hospital by a fourth person seen waiting in the car on the film in addition to his personal bodyguard, Yoram Rubin.

According to Moshe Pavlov in a limited hangout given to Journalist Barry Chamish who ran a small publication Inside Israel:

Amir was supposed to shoot blanks. That's why the bodyguards shouted that he did. He was supposed to. It was a fake assassination. Rabin was supposed to survive the blank bullets, dramatically go back on the podium, condemn the violence of his opponents and become a hero. That's how he was going to save the Oslo Accords. Raviv was supposed to give him the gun with the blanks.

However, other evidence did prove conclusively that Amir did indeed shoot blanks. Presumably, Rabin was killed by Yoav Kuriel who exchanged places with Pinchas Terem, and then Kurel was murdered by the Shabak and CIA architechts of the assassination to ensure his silence. When Rabin unexpectedly revived at the hospital, an unknown (and ultimately irrelevant) assassin finished off the job.
