Numerous correspondents have asked me for my take on the sentencing of Margalit Har Shefi, so here it is.

The goal of the Shabak's Jewish Department was to remove Jews from areas secretly promised to the PLO, or all of Judea, Samaria and Gaza. If the residents wouldn't cooperate by demonizing themselves, the Shabak would create the outrages for them.

The chief outrage maker was Jewish Dept. chief Eli Barak. Before assuming his post, Rabin sent him to the States to learn dirty tricks and covert operations.

The Rabin assassination was supposed to be just another in a long line of such tricks and Amir was supposed to be another patsy like Goldstein, Freidman, the Kahalani Brothers etc... Except there was a doublecross and the staged fake assassination turned into murder.

In light of this unexpected development, Avishai Raviv was hurredly ordered to form a conspiracy on the very night of the murder and contacted David Newman and Margalit Har Shefi asking them to admit their "roles" in the assassination to the police. Newman didn't cooperate and was eliminated,
that is murdered, shortly after. Har Shefi was treated more humanely; She was merely arrested. Posing as a fellow conspirator, Raviv was put in Har Shefi's cell and tried to make her incriminate herself.

She did not cooperate so, as usual, the crime was created for her. Amir now supposedly told her of his previous plans to murder Rabin at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem and at a ceremony at Bet Lid Junction. Only one problem, Amir vehemently denied to the Shamgar Commission investigators and at his own trial that such plans ever existed.

And now a bigger problem: why didn't Har Shefi's lawyer interrogate Amir on the stand about his denials? If she didn't report a crime Amir never intended to commit, then the state would not have had any basis for prosecuting her, let alone actually finding her guilty of anything.

And still another problem: if Har Shefi was incriminated by Raviv, then she was criminally entrapped by an agent of the Shabak. So why didn't Har Shefi's lawyer put him on the stand to explain his role, and thus the state's role, in her arrest?

Of the judges and prosecution, I will not go any farther than saying they organized a kangaroo court. Last Friday, Makor Rishon did a convincing job of illustrating how the courts turned Har Shefi into a "witch." One example will suffice: in fifteen hearings, Har Shefi appeared late twice because
traffic accidents slowed her arrival. The court declared she was hostile to the judicial system because of the unintended tardiness.

Since the trials of the Amir and Kahalani brothers were also kangaroo courts (see chapter six of my book Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin, cult@feralhouse.com), as was the first Shamgar Commission which, against all the evidence, found that Baruch Goldstein was the sole gunman of the Hebron
massacre, we could expect no less from the state.

But how do we account for the horrible performance of Har Shefi's attorney? Makor Rishon explained that because she couldn't afford the legal costs, she enlisted a relative without criminal law experience. Not convincing. Even without criminal law experience, it would not take much insight to subpoena Amir and Raviv to clear his client.

Har Shefi is being used to prove to the public that, yes, Amir was part of a wider Bar Ilan University assassination gang. The timing of her sentencing, a month before the third year anniversary is not coincidental. Every effort is being made to prevent a reoccurrence of last year's anniversary which
was dominated by the issue of the real conspiracy to murder Rabin.

One example. Channel Two reporter Mati Cohen is trying to get to the truth of the matter and his researcher reported to me that the station is refusing to broadcast his evidence. On the other hand, Channel Two is preparing a three part docu-drama called Oyev (Enemy) to be broadcast on the
assassination week. An actor in the series gave me a hint of what's coming. He was dressed as a religious settler and told to spray-paint a sexy billboard on a bus shelter. When a woman sitting within complains, he spray-paints her face. Incidentally, the actor refused to participate in this propaganda exercise, nonetheless, this piece of blatant disinformation is on the way to our screens, financed by Labour Party stalwart David Moshevit and his production company Telemedia.
