In his element
. He did not have to come. Every year he climbs the mountain, sits in front of family representatives, hears more and less overt clues about the horrific atmosphere of incitement that led to the murder, and is convinced he had no hand in the matter. On the contrary, he gave Rabin "kosher" and announced that he was not a traitor, so what do you want from him? At first he tried to persuade. Then he realized that he was doomed to hear what he did not like, and not to expect anyone in this audience to identify with him. In his eyes he is the victim. In his eyes they are the instigators. The ascent to the mountain became a nightmare for him.
This week, could just not come. It almost hurts to think it would not have caused an earthquake. True, it belongs to faculty A, and it is fitting that faculty A should attend the memorial service. But he is not supposed to give a speech, and if it is manners and manners - he feels the victim in front of the establishment that has arisen on him, in his opinion, from the "recruited" media to the police and the prosecutor's office, headed by his former associate. From the court to the voters who love him terribly,But he is not given a mandate time and time again.
Then he decides to make his expected absence a headline, and in a kind of hidden pleasure sees the panels on the TV channels dealing with it. His loyalists explain him, his opponents criticize him. He returns to his element.
Against Oslo, for Jordan.
Speaking in the Knesset at the annual meeting in memory of Yitzhak Rabin, the opposition leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, explained that the right, which he heads, does not refuse peace, and boasted of its support for the peace agreement between Israel and Jordan in 1994. It is bad for his perception, and supports good agreements, such as peace with Jordan, but he is well aware that there would have been no chance of an agreement with Jordan if an Israeli-Palestinian agreement had not been signed earlier
. The Arab participants in the discussions were of the opinion that a united front could lead to more Israeli compromises; Will flood his country with more refugees.
Oslo liberated the Palestinians from Arab patronage, and allowed them to reach a separate agreement, without foreign dictates. Jordan and Syria were surprised to learn that an Israeli-Palestinian agreement had recently been reached. Jordan was angry with Israel and the PLO. Syria could only be angry with the PLO, and both concluded that after the Palestinians evaded their shelters, they had no need to wait for Israeli-Palestinian peace and that each of them could reach a separate peace agreement with Israel.
King Hussein was more determined than his northern counterpart, and one day (!) After the signing of the Oslo Accords on the White House lawn, an Israeli-Jordanian "girls' document" signed a year earlier was signed, but the signing was delayed by the Jordanians. King Hussein told me that the Israeli-Palestinian agreement (which he did not like) gave him the possibility of a separate peace with Israel.
Almost all Knesset members supported the agreement with Jordan, including those who for many years carried the slogan "Jordan is Palestine" and thus invented the possibility that Jordan would agree to the realization of Palestinian self-determination in its territory, while Israel would not have to agree to any territorial compromise.
Those who are blessed with their support for peace with Jordan, but reject the Oslo Accords, reiterate Yigal Alon's pathetic proposal from 1978 to support the agreement with Egypt and deny the evacuation of Israeli settlements in the peninsula.
