Ynet news story. But, off course, what is not in the story
is what is most important.
Comments by David first:
I have been in contact with Shimon Halevy since Shimon call
me about 7 months ago. I told Shimon the game plan and Shimon
is apparently on board. Of course, any normal person knows that
an accused killer is entitled and should want the victim's medical
records. Apparently, during the trial Yigal Amir did not receive
chest X-rays of Yitzhak Rabin. We know exactly why chest X-rays
were not given to the defense at the trial. Because Yitzhak
Rabin was fatally wounded by a bullet shot to the chest. The
official fairy tale is that Yigal Amir shot two bullets to the
back.
Here is the big news: Yidioth Acharonot, the state's biggest
daily newspaper and, in effect, the official government newpaper
published this story in today's print edition. Ynetnews.com
is the internet edition. My "shtick" has appeared
in two Ynetnews.com (in conjuction with ynet.co.il - the hebrew
site) feature stories. But I never made the print edition. Each
story has a big influence on public knowledge of the coverup
and they know this. The Shimon Halevy story got in the print
edition.
Nothing happens by accident in this coverup. I was on the phone
today with Shimon Halevy. He's coming to meet me in Jerusalem
tommorow. As well, I called the editor of Yidioth, Rafi Ginat,
spoke to the secretary Yinaat (03-608-2222) for 20 minutes and
subsequently wrote Rafi Ginat and letter asking him to come
clean. I have a feeling that he will call me back since the
number 4 postion in google for his newspaper's name in hebrew
is a page from my hebrew web site. The real explosive stuff
on my site is hebrew since the murder did take place in Israel.
Getting back to the Shimon Halevy petition. It is really strange
that Yigal Amir never was interested in seeing Yizhak Rabin's
chest X-ray. Even with Shimon doing all the work, Yigal Amir's
wife is not so excited. I am certainly wondering how much these
people, Yigal Amir and Larissa are getting paid.

story.
Court:
Don't give Rabin's X-rays to Yigal Amir
Basing himself on freedom of information law,
lawyer Shimon Halevy petitions court to overturn Health Ministry's
decision to withhold Rabin's medical information, citing that
it is 'information with high public importance whose public
exposure is vital because details of Yitzhak Rabin's murder
are different than those known to public.' Amir's wife Larissa
Trimbobler: Neither he nor I signed petition

Yigal Amir won't be allowed to see slain prime minister Yitzhak
Rabin's X-rays, which were taken after his murder, as recently
reported by Judge Mussia Arad, president of the Jerusalem District
Court. The petitioners – Shimon Halevy and Yigal Amir
– will cover the NIS 10,000 (USD 2,500) in court charges.
The court backed up the decision of the Health Ministry and
Naomi Livni, responsible for freedom of information in the ministry,
not to transfer the X-rays to the petitioners. The news was
first published in the newspaper Makor Rishon (First Source).
Amir's wife Larissa Trimbobler said in response to Ynet: "This
is not the petition submit by Amir. Neither he nor I signed.
Halevy called me a number times and said that he wants to submit
a petition on the issue, but I have no idea who he is. He presented
himself as a lawyer who wants to deal with the issue."
Trimbobler referred to the NIS 10,000 court costs: "It
is bizarre that the costs are so high, but we didn't sign anything
and didn't grant power of attorney, and anyway Yigal Amir doesn't
have any money."
On June 11, Shimon Halevy turned to the Health Ministry with
a request to obtain copies of Yitzhak Rabin's X-rays that were
taken days after his death. He based his claim on the freedom
of information law.
On the same day, a response from the Health Ministry was sent
to the petitioner declining his request based on the fact that
it is not permissible to hand over the medical information of
any deceased person, including Yitzhak Rabin, without a waiver
of medical privacy signed by the deceased's heirs.
'Insignificant, bizarre, and baseless'
A few days later, Halevy petitioned the court in his name and
in Yigal Amir's name. He asked to instruct the Health Ministry
to hand over the requested information. According to the petitioners,
"This is information with high public importance whose
public exposure is vital to pursuing justice in Israel, and
in particular that the petitioner received information that
the details of Yitzhak Rabin's murder are different than those
known to the public."
Judge Mussia Arad established, "The petition shows that
the exposure of the information in the case at hand does not
serve the purpose of the freedom of information law. The law
states that the authority is not obligated to report information
whose exposure will damage the privacy of the deceased individual.
The petitioners did not indicate any kind of considerations
in support of exposing the information. The petitioners claimed
insufficiently that the information has high public value that
is hidden from the public eye."
The judge established that the claims that the circumstances
of Yitzhak Rabin's murder are different than those known to
the public are based on "insignificant, bizarre, and baseless
things."
She added: "The circumstances of Yitzhak
Rabin's murder were investigated and resolved both in the framework
of the court decision, which represents a conclusive verdict,
and in the framework of the commission of inquiry established
to investigate the issue." The judge concluded, therefore,
that the Health Ministry's decision not to hand over the requested
X-rays in the absence of any agreement from the deceased's relatives
was in place. Ynetnews.com
