If anyone listens to podcasts, a good one is This American Life.
Latest episode looks at the Yitzhak Rabin assassination and the conspiracy theories about it. It's a very interesting listen. The implications are rather depressing though. As far as assassinations go, the evidence for this one is as clear-cut as you can possibly get. It's on video, there were multiple witnesses, the killer and his accomplice both confessed immediately without any coercion and have never recanted. They are proud of what they did. The forensic evidence is solid. There's several different ways to prove it. Compared to the Kennedy assassination, for example, the evidence seems much more overwhelming. The assassin is still alive for one thing and says he did it, unlike Oswald who was killed before there could be a trial. Nevertheless about a third of Israelis don't believe it, and instead believe the Shabak was behind it or even Rabin himself.

Anyway, just goes to prove that no amount of hard evidence can convince some people to believe something they don't want to believe.

Twenty years ago, the prime minister of Israel was assassinated. The killer was a lone gunman, Israeli and Jewish, just like the prime minister. Lots of witnesses saw it happen; the assassin confessed immediately, that night, and has never recanted. But today, oddly, lots of people don’t believe it happened that way. And a question hangs over the country: did this act change the fate of the nation? |
