The assassination of Charlie Kirk and Yitzhak Rabin

Update: Charlie Kirk's Gaza Intervention

While we're here, let's compare the assassination of Charlie Kirk with the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin November 4th 1995. Was Yitzhak Rabin shot by a Palestinian? No he was not. He was shot by a right wing extremist who was Jewish. Benjamin Netanyahu benefited from his murder. 

Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated at a rally where he spoke about peace after Jewish folk singer Miri Aloni sang Shir La-Shalom. May 8 2008, 13 years after his assassination Shiri Maimon sang that same song for Israel's 60th Independence day. Look at the crowd, filled with IDF soldiers singing and dancing for peace.

After that assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, Mossad created Hamas to push Fatah out of Gaza because the PLO signed a cease fire agreement. Mossad and Netanyahu didn't want anything to do with that agreement. He did not want to share the land with the Palestinians, he wanted to wipe them out so Israel could be from the river to the sea and then some.


Mossad rightly complains that Hamas' manefesto is unacceptable. The only problem is that Mossad are the ones that wrote it. Before the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin the PLO had been fighting with Israel for many years. Neither side recognized the other side's right to exist. No one wanted to share the land. They both wanted it all to themselves. 

The Oslo accord changed all that. For the first time both sides recognized the other side's right to exist. The Jews and the Palestinians both have a hereditary right to that land but neither party has an exclusive right to the land. No one wants to share. 

The Oslo accord recognized a Palestinian State and created the Palestinian Authority. Why is that important? Israel is a Jewish State. If you're not Jewish you can't become a citizen. Palestinians were residents without a country or a passport. 

Netanyahu says there will be no two state solution. That would defeat the purpose of Yitzhak Rabin's murder. I support the Oslo Accord, I don't support Hamas. I agree with Charlie Kirk in that Netanyahu is determined to ethnically cleanse Gaza. That I cannot support.

  1. The similarity between the two assassinations is that the same people are responsible for both.
