Remembering Yitzhak Rabin

It is sad but fitting that Yitzhak Rabin, one of Israel's greatest generals and greatest Zionists gave his life for peace. It is tragic but typical that he gave his life because of lack of unity and trust among the Jewish people. It may be 50 years before some acknowledge that he was right, but they will. There can be no other way. I know there are those who disagree, but they are not Zionists. Zionism is not about hating other Jews, and it much more than real estate.
