And where were the Gush Katif activists? They had a chance
to arrive en masse and show the world what was done to
them. But they were far too busy having their winter coats
stolen from them by the Shabak and gathering in Jerusalem
to talk to themselves in an auditorium to take real action. And
that goes for all the right/religious protest leaders. It struck us
all at that Tel Aviv pub, that they are all too cowardly to face
the Israeli left. They are actually afraid of confronting scary
groups of teenage leftists and a few angry old men.
And that is why they are losing.
PABLO'S LAST SHOT
Despite government insistence that no such photographs
exist, some three years ago, I received a dozen photos of the
backstage "sterile area" two minutes before and immediately
after Yigal Amir shot his blanks at Yitzhak Rabin. The photos
were acquired partly by chicanery, which some day I'll
explain, and partly through a reliable source. One series of
photos shows Shimon Peres conducting his nefarious
murder plot stage by stage. Not one magazine or major
internet site has ever published these shots and I can only
guess why.
Another photo shows the moment Yigal Amir was arrested.
The arresting officer's watch captures the exact time of the
arrest; 9:31. The watch was blown up and highlighted before
I released it and it was reprinted in dozens of Israeli
magazines and websites alongside the conclusion of the
Shamgar Commission that Rabin was shot at 9:50. The
implication was clear to everyone; If Shamgar was telling the
truth, which he wasn't, Amir was under arrest 19 minutes
before Rabin was shot. Some alibi! In fact, Shamgar
deliberately falsified the time of the shooting to protect
Rabin's driver, who, otherwise, would have been driving for
22 minutes to complete the 2 minute hop to Ichilov Hospital.
Previously, this photo had already been published in Yediot
