Mr. Gluksman's motives for talking freely to me appear not to
be ideological. He is an avowed Marxist. Simply, he believes
his Oslo talks became corrupted and that Rabin was
murdered by the corrupters of his negotiations. His insider
revelations are startling and verify the crux of my own
research.
HG - When I began laying the groundwork for the Oslo talks
in '88, money wasn't even considered as a political issue. It's
when it became the core issue that things turned ugly.
BC - What do you mean '88? The talks began in '92.

threat of attack hanging over them. That was our objective.
Israel would become Arab and nothing would change, but
the threat would end. The Jews of Tel Aviv would go on with
their lives, run their businesses, build their homes but the
