Noa Rotman, Rabin's granddaughter, reveals the most sensitive issues that have accompanied her since the assassination • "I wanted to sue for his insult" • The full interview tomorrow in "Israel This Week"

Half a century after Rabin's assassination, Noa Rotman, the granddaughter of the late Yitzhak Rabin, addresses in a personal interview the most sensitive issues: from Margalit Har-Shefi and the cries of the "traitor," through her brief political experience to the malicious rumors that accompany her parents' divorce.

"When you are a victim with a strong appearance it does not seem that the insult motivates you, it seems ego. In our family, personally, because my grandfather was murdered in a political context, we had to represent him. But we did not represent and admire a living leader, we kept a dead name. It changed me The prism and the desire to demand more of Grandpa's insult, every time his honor is harmed. "

After his death?

"Yes. For example, when Bibi stood with Arafat a few years after condemning Rabin for complying with Arafat, and abiding by the Hebron agreement - Oslo III - poorly, he did not say: 'Sorry Rabin, you are not cheating,' nor did he say, 'I do. This is because I have no choice. "Netanyahu chose Oslo even though Rabin himself said that the part of Hebron would only be established if there was security from the Palestinian side. And no one on the right stood up and said to Netanyahu: 'There are holes in your agreement.'

Purity of intentions

"He wanted to remove the picture of Oslo A. Sharon from the wall in the Prime Minister's Office after he bombed the Muqata during the second intifada.

This is cynicism.

He then made the disengagement that is considered a left-wing model, the model of Lebanon's security strip.

Is there the Lebanese Security Strip model here?

No.

There is no security here. "

"My wound is that they called my grandfather a traitor. It insulted him and hurt us all very much. As someone who grew up on the importance of public mission and hand hygiene, because of the dollar affair and guilt over the family disaster, so it hurt me. Rabin was blamed maliciously, but his intentions were "What you have as a public messenger is the purity of your intentions, and as a family of the public messenger you want the mission to be accepted."

"Do not discuss the other"

The family disaster is the severe injury of her father during an operational activity, when she was in the womb of her mother, her two-year-old brother and her grandfather - the Prime Minister.

This is one of the cruel gossip myths of Israel in the 1980s.

"I remember when I was a child in compulsory kindergarten, I went to the supermarket in Neot Afeka and they would ask me, 'Why did your mother leave your disabled father?' I would smile and not answer. I knew what they were thinking."

Defame the Rabin family who abandoned the hero of Israel.

This is the opposite of how most Israeli society now supports Israeli Rebecca, for example.

Don't feel like saying something about double standards?

"I'll say what my mother says all my life. We talked openly about everything inside the house, but not outside. Do not discuss people you are not standing in their place."
