The left is really trying to sell the idea of Rabin as a Saint... This is just sickening and makes my bowels spin...
Rabin was no saint, he was evil and a pursuer of Jewish blood. Regardless of who carried out the killing of Rabin it was a good thing for the Jewish people. Rabin could have brought about much more suffering for Jews in Israel.
On another note... It seems that the Israeli press in its attempt to Beatify Rabin as a Saint, has overlooked the last speech he made where he says he is AGAINST creating a Palestinkian state... It is so convenient for them to forget this speech because it doesn't fit into their worldview of Rabin as a Saint...
Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish... Rabin Yemach Shemo!

(Israelnationalnews.com) In honor of Yitzchak Rabin Memorial Day, the Amit religious-Zionist education network has published a 15-page prayer book appendix in memory of Rabin.
The prayers include chapters of Psalms to be recited in Rabin’s memory, additional verses whose first letters spell out his name and the word neshamah (soul), as is customary, and Mishna-texts to be studied in his memory. Prayers for the State and for “love of fellow man” are also included, as are verses decrying murder that were deemed relevant.
The concluding prayer reads as follows: “O our G-d and the G-d of our fathers, may this prayer in memory of the Prime Minister, Yitzchak ben [son of] Rosa, be accepted before You; and in the merit of my Torah study, prayers and beseeching, may the Nation of Israel in the Land of Israel dwell in security, peace and serenity. May our Torah sprout forth and may our merits increase, and may we love each other and all Israel shall be friends…”
'Sharpening the awe'
The Amit network management explained that the decision to publish the Rabin prayers was made “in light of the sense that the Rabin Memorial Day has no significant basis in the religious world. The purpose is to involve as broad of a public as possible in the significance of our memory as people of faith. The prayer book and the prayers will sharpen the awe of the day, and will clarify the importance of our work as educators, in order to demand that every Jew ensure that never again will we see one of us raise a hand against the kingdom.”
“We at Amit believe that we must raise a loud educational voice on the anniversary of the murder of the Prime Minister. This is not just a matter of historic remembrance, but rather a relevant meaning to our shared lives in this multi-faceted Israeli society, in the State that belongs to all of us, despite all the conflicts.”
Much of the nationalist-religious public has come to feel under attack each year in the days preceding and following the anniversary of Rabin's murder, due to the collective guilt assigned it by leading political figures and much of the media. The prayer book initiative has therefore raised many eyebrows in the religious world, as it uses much of the same terminology often used against it.
