Adir Zik showed no mercy to those involved in the Rabin<br />

murder or the incitements that led to it and continue to this<br />

day, justified now by the Gush Katif withdrawal. He gathered<br />

his proofs and publicly accused the likes of Carmi Gillon,<br />

Hezi Kalo, Shimon Peres, Yoram Rubin, Avishai Raviv, Eli<br />

Barak et al of framing and jailing innocents and of organizing<br />

the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin.<br />

I say he paid with his life. When Adir was first diagnosed with<br />

throat cancer I told him I suspected he was deliberately<br />

infected. He replied with a Hebrew expression: "Nonsense in<br />

tomato juice." Later, when a Mossad operation gone wrong<br />

infected the Jordanian Hamas leader in the neck, he told me,<br />

"If they can do that to him, they could have done that to me."<br />

When my research veered from the Rabin murder into the<br />

deep criminality of the Israeli and world Jewish leadership,<br />

Adir hesitated to recommend me as warmly. But that<br />

hesitation didn't last long. When my book Save Israel! was<br />

published in Hebrew, he told his listeners, "I now accept 80%<br />

of <strong>Barry</strong>'s conclusions. He knew about Sharon years before<br />

anyone else. He warned me not to endorse Sharon because<br />

he was a puppet of Israel's enemies abroad. When no one<br />

else was saying it, he announced that we were being<br />

betrayed by the leaders of both the Left and Right. It's hard<br />

for me to admit it, but he could be right about everything."<br />

Through thick and thin, his and mine, Adir stuck by me. Last<br />

year, the thin hit him hard when the government shut down<br />

his radio station and forced him to go underground over the<br />

internet. This was the most blatant attack in the undeclared<br />

war against the Jewish religion. But that war is in full swing<br />

now. In the past fortnight, the government has announced its<br />

intention of closing down the religious army movement,<br />

Yeshivat Hesder; the Education Ministry will close 17<br />

teaching colleges, all religious and keep ten kibbutz colleges<br />

open, all Bolshevik; the same ministry will no longer honor<br />

university degrees which accept credits for studying at Israeli
