Rabin

When Yigal Amir shot and killed Yitzhak Rabin, he did so in the insane belief that Rabin had betrayed a Jewish birthright.

People are dancing to live music in Rabin Square and spraying one another with foam while fireworks light up the sky.

And so, despite his great reservations about Yasser Arafat, Rabin felt compelled to try to make an agreement with him.

If we close our eyes really tight, we can almost hear rightists whispering, "Rabin is a traitor."
