A source - Josh Backon - may not be reliable , but he said that police records show yigal amir to be a pedophile. He is friendly with a main police detective at the time. David Rutstein says pedo too, I am not sure whether he has an independent source.
I think chaim is of the theory that Yigal Amir swapped the bullets for real ones. In which case that theory is that yigal amir did kill rabin. I`d like to know the source of that theory.
Yigal Amir worked with Avishai Raviv. He is not a friend of the right. Avishai Raviv was a leftist israeli agent whose job it was to act extreme to make the right look bad on TV, so the left would not vote likud, they`d vote labour. It worked, Shimon Peres succeeded Rabin as PM.
Avishai Raviv printed and/or distributed T shirts of rabin in nazi uniform . This was israeli intelligence. Yigal Amir worked with Avishai Raviv - knowingly or unknowingly is another matter. But either way it is bad.
Please dont write something evil by suspecting a fellow Jew of such a crime. It is certainly wronge and forbidden. Listining and spreading garbage like this is uncalled for and one of the worst crimes a person can do (evil gossip and even more than that which is pure lies).
About Yigal being with Avishai- Avishai had a lot of people fooled. According to Chaim and others, Avishai convinced Yigal to kill the Hiloni while pretending to be an ordinary guy and not telling him hes an agent.
Either way I see this discussion pointless. Yigal killed him, yes, soo what? Right wing and religious Jews should stop pretending like this was a real crime and make it as if we should or are disassociating with Yigal and his actions.
josh backon - who happens to be a Rabbi as well as a professor and dr, if that makes any difference to you - sits next to the police detective on the case, in his shul. This is not just some rumour.
Yigal Amir did not kill rabin. The medical records prove it. As do the witness testimony. The medical records describe in great detail, a frontal wound, entering the upper lobe of the right lung and exitting shattering vertibrae at D5-6. It is written there. You don`t even need hebrew to see it.
Yigal Amir could not have shot him from the front. He was standing behind.
Chief inspector baruch gladstein in the protocols of yigal amir`s trial, (available, quoted at length in chamish`s book), testified to their being a point blank or near point blank shot. This was based on an analysis of Rabin`s clothing. There was a tear that was standard kind of tear made from blast of air from the gun at close range.
Natan Gefen sat in the trial, and saw how originally it was claimed that yigal amir shot from 30cm, but because of that testimony, they wrote over it, 10cm, to make it closer so the story matched. Yigal Amir could not have done that shot either.
There was a shot entering the right shoulder exitting through the right nipple. Yigal Amir was not shooting at that angle.
Rabin had a shattered spine, this is shown in medical reports. He could not have been able to get into the car. Witnesses said rabin seemed fine. If he had a shattered vertibrae he would have collaposed. He did have a shattered vertibrae. It was shattered AFTER the rabin scene.
The killing shots took place in the car or hospital. Chamish thinks - twice in the car, once in the hospital. There was an incident where everybody was ordered out of the hospital, but one guy remained there.
And there is tons of evidence of shabak then covering things up further.. But the key is that yigal amir did not kill him, he could not have. Shabak did. Rabin was in the hands of Shabak. And then they covered it all up.. Sloppily.
