From Makor Rishon, March 12.

Barry Chamish's book is must reading for anyone interested in Israel's internal politics. The facts that emerge from the book are that Yigal Amir, the stupid zealot, did not murder Rabin, rather the Rabin assassination was a Shabak ploy to denigrate the nationalist camp by the kippa worn on Amir's head.

There is no argument that Rabin was wounded three times. Two shots entered the back - and this is where the coverup begins - one one entered from the front and shattered his spinal column. This is the bullet which caused his death and a ballistic test would prove it didn't come from Amir's gun.

All those who view the assassination film witness that Amir could not have shot from the direction of the chest. The conspiracy theory rests on the legs of authenticity. One leg stands on the declaration of Dr. Ephraim Sneh, at Ichilov Hospital just after Rabin's death. Sneh read the surgeons' report and explained on a television broadcast that Rabin was killed as a result of a shot to his chest. Despite the fact that many thousands heard the broadcast and taped it for reviewing, Dr. Sneh avoided explaining himself in a Knesset meeting. The whole issue can be solved with a questioning of the pathological team and an objective review of Rabin's x-rays.

The second leg which could prove the conspiracy theory is polygraph testing of the driver Menachem Damti, Yoram Rubin, the bodyguard wounded in the assassination and Carmi Gillon, then head of the Shabak who was forced to resign over this event. The truth is Rabin was shot by an anonymous bodyguard waiting for him in his vehicle. It behooves the State Attorney General to reopen an investigation and even

for the Prime Minister to order an internal investigation of the Shabak. This is because Israeli society is in jeopardy in way not seen since the Arlozorov murder and the truth of this incident must be released without delay.
