Yitzhak
Rabin's assassination - What really happened
The original medical reports, indicate that Yitzhak Rabin arrived
at Ichilov Hospitalin Tel Aviv at 9:52 p.m.. Please note that
Yitzhak Rabin was shot at 9:30 p.m., and the supposed murder
site, the Kings of Israel Square, is only a 2 minutes car ride.
Yitzhak Rabin arribed in an ambulance (not the Cadillac limousine
which departed from the murder site). Yitzhak Rabin was already
intubated (with a breathing tube inserted) when he arrived in
the hospital.
At
9:52, Yitzhak Rabin was transferred from the ambulance and admitted
to Ichilov hospital as an unnamed, anonymous patient. None of
the doctors treating the anonymous patient initially had no
idea that Yitzhak Rabin was the gunshot victim. Twelve minutes
later, after the bodyguard Yoram Rubin entered the emergency
room, was the admission form updated to indicate that the patient,
suffering from a single frontal chest wound, was none other
than the Prime Minister of Israel.
On
arrival to the hospital, Yitzhak Rabin had one single gunshot
wound, which was located in his front chest, 2-3 cm above the
right nipple, where the exit wound was directed towards the
spine at D5-6, accompanied by crushed vertebra and fracture
of the neighborhood rib. For about 40 minutes, the doctors provide
the patient with eight units of blood and manage to stabilize
his condition, although he is still unable to breathe on his
own but was still connected to a respirator.
At this point, according to diverse reports from medical staff,
Shin Bet agents entered the surgical suite and ordered medical
personnel to exit the room. A minute or two later, the Shin
Bet requested the docrorsto return to work, asking them to continue
the treatment until the government was be ready to announcethe
death of Yitzhak Rabin. However, when the doctors returned to
Yitzhak Rabin, they discovered, that his dead body has been
shot two additional times -- in the back. One form, written
and signed by the Dr. Gutman, indicates that the time of death
was 10:30 and explicitly refers to only a single chest wound.
A second form, which came to be the official death pronouncement,
states the "official" time of death at 11:10. All
references to the chest wound were subsequently expunged from
the hospital records and the videotape of the autopsy "recycled,"
according to Dr Yehuda Hiss.
Nevertheless, the apparent real scenario of Yitzhak Rabin's
death was inadvertingly discovered thanks to one mistake made
very recently by Dr. Yehuda Hiss. This occured after the chest
X-ray of Mr Yitzhak Rabin (being hidden from the public for
10 years), was presented on TV for a few seconds, on 4/11/95.
This inadvertant mistake by Dr. Hiss on Israeli TV of exposing
Rabin's chest xray was sufficient for recording one of Rabin's
chest X-ray images, enabling objective examination of the xray's
findings. Amazingly, the chest X-ray confirmed the findings
documented on the medical report written by Dr. Guttman at 22.30
p.m. that the bullet on the left lung hilum was removed during
operation, whereas two bullets were left in, the bullet in the
spine, which killed Yitzhak Rabin, as well as one of the bullets
which were shotafter Rabin's death, both were removed at the
PM examination.
Here is the chest X-ray image, showing the bullet that entered
through the front chest, 2 cm above the right nipple, which
was eventually stuck in the spine (right arrow), causing spinal
shock, as well as the missing bullet in the left lung hilum,
where the bullet residing there had been already removed during
the opreation, actually proving the existence
of 3 bullets in the body of Yitzhak Rabin; the unreported bullet
to the chest that killed Yitzhak Rabin, and the two bullets
that were shot in his deadbody, which were designed to blame
Yigal Amir. Quite simply, the people that murdered Yitzhak Rabin
remembered that there were many witnesses to the fact the Yigal
Amir shot his gun at Yitzhak Rabin's back. Here is the Yitzhak
Rabin murder video (the Kempler video) that was shown one
time on Israeli TV in December ,1995.
What evidence is still missing? We still do not have access
to the whole body CT scan which should unquestionably show the
bullet in the spine and the crushed vertebra. This evidence
was ignored in the official Pathological report.
Nevertheless, aside from the first available medical report
showed above (which was written immediately after death, thus
being authentic), and the chest X-ray showing the bullet in
spine (red arrow), as well as a missing bullet in the left lung
hilum, both proving that Yitzhak Rabin
came to the ER with only one shot in his right front chest (and
that's all), also the later medical reports, despite being written
retrospectively after death, and under external pressure, confirm
the above findings.
For example, the report written post operation, documented obviously
the existing of a palpabe crushed vertebra (which was ignored
by the latter Pathological report and by the official version):
In Hebrew: ????, ?? ???? ????? ???(D5-6) ???? ???? ????? ?????
?"? ??????
That is, the tear in the right lung is leading to the thoracic
spine area (approx. D5-6), where bone crush is palpable.
To summarize: "Yitzhak Rabin isn't supposed to be harmed
in any manner shape or form. The plan is to bring him to the
Shabak headquarters. The government would then clamp down on
the Right. This explains why there is no blood at the site of
the shooting, no spent cartridges, why Shabak [the Hebrew acronym
for the Shin Bet] guards didn't kill Yigal Amir on sight, why
the two trauma ambulance crews (docs and paramedics) stationed
10 feet away from where Yitzhak Rabin was "shot" are
rebuffed when they offer to treat the "wounded" Yitzhak
Rabin, why people shouted "SRAK! SRAK!" ("Blanks!
Blanks), why the Shabak told Leah Yitzhak Rabin that her husband
was OK and the whole thing was just an "exercise",
and why when a senior police officer from the Police Identification
Unit takes the gun used by Yigal Amir as material evidence has
the gun forcibly (and illegally) removed from him by the Shabak.
The "gun" is returned the next day. Yitzhak Rabin
is taken to the Shabak headquarters in the Cadillac limousine:
the hospital is NOTinformed to be ready for a trauma patient."
Somewhere
during what was expected to be a brief and uneventful trip to
the Shabak headquarters , where Yitzhak Rabin was to have emerged
safe and sound, something must have gone terribly wrong. Someone
in the Shin Bet, apparently decided -- either in the car or
at nearby Shin Bet headquarters to shoot Yitzhak Rabin and immediately
after one shot into Yitzhak Rabin's chest this man is killed
by another guard. Eventually, Yitzhak Rabin is transfered by
an ambulance, intubated, and delivered to the hospital, initially
as an anonymous patient suffering from a gunshot wound.
So,
a frontal shot to the chest killed Yitzhak Rabin; after declaring
his death and stopping medical treatment, two additional hollowpoint
bullets werefired into his body, one into his back from the
right and the second to his left hip, after which Yitzhak Rabin
was transferred to an operating room where his death was declared
a second time.
The
latest evidence strongly suggests that the plan was not to kill
Yitzhak Rabin but rather -- as the Shin Bet repeatedly did using
its "agent provocateur" Avishay Raviv -- to stage
an outrageous provocation meant to sway public opinion to support
the Prime Minister's policies, to incriminate his opponents,
and to permit a crackdown on their activities --
all of which did in fact happen after the "staged"
assassination attempt tragically turned into a real murder.
The
new revelations further strengthens the evidence of a pervasive
and systematic cover-up of the murder in official Israeli circles,
beginning within the Shin Bet itself, but pointing also to collaboration
after the fact by senior political figures -- those in charge
of the security agency as well as legal and medical officials
who either forged documentary evidence, concealed it, perjured
themselves, or failed to ask the required and in many cases
obvious questions about the glaring inconsistencies and stark
contradictions in the official version of what happened on that
terrible night
ten years ago.
Finally, all these findings are being now subject to reevaluation
by the
supreme court, which should decide whether to open again the
case.
So who killed Yitzhak Rabin and why?
There are several points that must be realized:
1. The official murderer, Yigal Amir, like his partner, Avishay
Raviv, is actually a Shin Bet man, holding a service card signed
by the past head of the Shin Bet, Yaacob Peri. This fact was
published by the Observer in 1996, according to security sources.Yigal
Amir had participated in a security course in the Shin Bet,
just before he was sent to Latvia as a security man.
In fact, Yigal Amir's mother was active in the lefty faction
MERETZ.
2. Yigal Amir himself made an effort to take all the responsibility
fo the murder on himself, and fired his lawyer when trying to
challenge the official version in court. Yigal Amir at that
point represented homself alone. Yigal Amir also admitted two
additional trials to kill Yitzhak Rabin, one was in Yad Vashem
during a demonstration against Yitzhak Rabin, who was scheduled
to have a speech there. However, one of his partners was cited
the day after the murder that Yigal Amir was quite passive in
organization of the demonstration, and excluding one moment
he entered the auditorium, telling that he only wants to see
how it looks from inside, he did not really stay there or do
something strange or suspicous (and eventually Yitzhak Rabin
missed the meeting). So it seems that Yigal Amir tried to incriminate
himself from the beginning, even when no peace of evidence really
exists.
3. At a polygraph test after his arrest by the police, Yigal
Amir was found lying when telling he had no partners to the
murder.
The fourth passenger
The Yediot Achronot reporter Yoav Limor, testified the day after
the murder that a forth passenger was sitting in the front seat
near the driver. Thisperson was considered by Limor as a policeman.
(Recall, that according to the official version, there was no
fourth passenger, only three).
Furtheremore, the chief security man in the hospital, where
Yitzhak Rabin was taken to, stated he saw through the limousine
window a huge spot of blood on the front seat, in addition to
the blood seen on the back seat, where Yitzhak Rabin was sitting
or lying.
In addition, a taxy driver gave a signed declaration to Yigal
Amir's lawyer, stating that a passenger identified himself as
a Pathologist, and holding a card of a doctor, told him during
a drive from Jaffa to Ichilov Hospital, that he was on duty in Ichilov Hospital
during the night of the murder and he personally examined Yitzhak
Rabin's body (probably before the foresnic Patologist Hiss arrived).
This Pathologist marked two lies in the official version. One
is that Yitzhak Rabin had 3 gunshot wounds, including one (different
caliber) on his front chest. The second, is that another body,
a body of a guard from the same event was brought to Ichilov Hospital
at that night.
The last step In considering the fact that Yigal Amir could
not by himself murder Yitzhak Rabin, simply because Yitzhak
Rabin was shot from behind, while he came to the hospital with
only one gunshot wound, located in his front chest, and due
to the fact that Yitzhak Rabin was jumping into the car after
the shots by Yigal Amir, which does not feet with the fact that
he arrived paralyzed to the hospital (spinal shock), it makes
sense than, that the real murderer was one of the co-passengers
in the limousine, possibly the man whose body was brought to
Ichilov Hospital at the same time as Yitzhak Rabin. It is possible
than. that somebody who knew about the planned exercise of the
Shin Bet, took advantage on the situation, and ordered the murder,
knowing that the blame will be put on Yigal Amir and the right.
Looking imaginaty? maybe.
