ISRAEL: SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF ASSASSINATION OF YITZHAK RABIN (3)

(4 Nov 1997) English/Nat Israelis marked the second anniversary of the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin on Tuesday in varying ways - some with anger, some with solemn remembrance. Family and friends laid flowers at his grave to mark the day. His widow Leah said she felt warmed by the memorials. In Gaza, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat said he would always remember Rabin as his partner and as a man of peace. Meanwhile, dozens of protesters rallied outside the jail where Rabin's killer is being held. Hundreds of peace activists gathered for a rally in Jerusalem on the anniversary of Yitzhak Rabin's death, protesting over the man some of them blame for his murder. Protestors gathered to show their anger with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, carrying signs with Rabin's picture hovering over his. They shouted chants of "Bibi resign, Israel deserves better." Israel's peace faction holds Netanyahu partially responsible for Rabin's assassination by an ultra-nationalist Jew. They say that as opposition leader at the time, Netanyahu incited hatred against Rabin by harshly criticising his land-for-peace agreements with the Palestinians. Earlier in the day, Rabin and his legacy were remembered more peacefully by those who loved him. Friends and relatives of the slain prime minister gathered at Mount Herzl cemetery in Jerusalem to mark the second anniversary of his assassination by laying memorial stones and flowers on his grave. Among the crowd at the ceremony were former Prime Minister Shimon Peres and Yitzhak's widow, Leah. They said his death had struck a blow to the peace process, but promised to carry on efforts to bring a lasting settlement. SOUNDBITE: (English) "It is a painful moment and an unforgettable moment, but his colleagues and ourselves shall do whatever we can to carry on with the peace process, nobody will stop us and nobody will frighten us." SUPER CAPTION: Shimon Peres, Former Prime Minister SOUNDBITE: (English) "This is a sense that there's some support and it's heart-warming, to see the papers and the radio, the whole country is really engaged in remembering him." SUPER CAPTION: Leah Rabin, Yitzhak's widow Rabin was assassinated by a militant right-wing Jewish extremist after a peace rally in Tel Aviv in November 1995. His killer, Yigal Amir, opposed the peace process with the Palestinians. Rabin's 1993 peace agreement, which put Israel on the path of trading much of the land occupied in the 1967 Mideast War for peace with the Palestinians, has deeply divided the nation. In his final years, Rabin was heckled and denounced as a 'traitor' and 'murderer' in protest rallies led by Benjamin Netanyahu, who was opposition leader at the time. The divisions and resentment have deepened since the assassination, with Rabin's supporters saying Netanyahu's camp has yet to acknowledge its role in creating the climate that prodded Amir to pull the trigger. In Gaza, Palestinian Chairman Yasser Arafat solemnly remembered his former partner in the peace process. SOUNDBITE: (English) "No doubt he was my partner, and we cannot forget that we both had started the peace of the brave. Now we have to remember that we have lost him. He was a man of peace." SUPER CAPTION: Yasser Arafat, Palestinian Leader In stark contrast to the solemn vigils, a debate has been brewing over whether the assassination was a plot by Israeli government agents. And now Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has responded to a request by a minister that the conspiracy theories be investigated.
