| Dalia RABIN-PELOSOF: [...] Each of, all of us together, are consumed
by doubts regarding how it happened and what happened. This is the
most difficult. The most difficult.
YISHAI-LEVI: What doubts?
Dalia RABIN-PELOSOF: This is very complex, and I am not certain
that I want to get into this. I don't want to make accusations,
as long as I do not have solid proof. I don't want to get involved
in slander trials. But we all have the feeling that the entire episode
was finished with the conclusion that the assassination was a fiasco.
This is too simplistic. There are very many question marks regarding
the night of the murder.
YISHAI-LEVI: Question marks regarding the conduct of the G.S.S.
[General Security Services]?
Dalia RABIN-PELOSOF: I am not saying, and I am not pointing an accusing
finger in any direction, but many unanswered question marks remain.
YISHAI-LEVI: Such as?
Dalia RABIN-PELOSOF: Well, someone shouted, 'This
is a blank', and there is no answer, who shouted. And the Shamgar
Commission did not determine who was the person who shouted that
this was a blank cartridge.
YISHAI-LEVI: Where does this confidence that someone shouted, 'This
is a blank' come from? Perhaps this is a rumor?
Dalia RABIN-PELOSOF: My mother [Mrs. Leah Rabin] heard positively.
She rang me at home immediately after this happened and she told
me. "They shot [at] Father, but this is not real". I will never
forget the telephone conversation with her. Mother felt that nothing
had happened, that this was not real, that everything was all right,
that Father was all right.
YISHAI-LEVI: Perhaps she expressed her wish?
Dalia RABIN-PELOSOF: Perhaps. But there were other people in addition
who heard. When the security people drove her in a different automobile
to the hospital, they told her that this was not real. And when
she asked questions, they were silent and did not answer a single
question of hers.
There are very many question marks around everything that happened
immediately after the assassination. How was it that in the automobile
that drove Mother, the security people did not speak with anyone
the entire way? Why didn't they let Mother drive with Father? Why
did they separate them and take her in a separate automobile?
I am throwing out to you question marks that trouble me every day.
Why did they take Mother from the place of the assassination? Why
did they want to hustle her away from the scene of the event as
fast as possible? Why did they tell her that this was an exercise?
What exercise? And what happened to the so-essential instincts of
every security person? Why didn't they immediately kill the assassin?
How did it happen that they did not shoot him? Look what happened
now with Mubarak -- how was it that the people who were entrusted
with guarding my father did not instinctively shoot the one who
shot him, [and] kill him? I am saying that this is certainly similar
to what the members of the Kennedy family felt after John Kennedy
was assassinated. To this day there is no explanation for the question
-- who was behind the assassination of Kennedy? To this day there
is no explanation for who was behind the assassination of my father.
Then, they accused Oswald, who was immediately murdered. By us,
they accuse Yigal Amir. But this is not so simple. This is much
deeper, and much more complex.
YISHAI-LEVI: And whom do you suspect?
Dalia RABIN-PELOSOF: Whom I suspect, I won't say. I simply am raising
before you all these doubts that have been harbored in my mind and
in those of the family since the assassination. Sometimes I go so
far as to have the harshest thoughts. I know that we in the family
will find no rest until we will know the truth.
YISHAI-LEVI: And this harbors in your mind all the time? You are
occupied with suspicions, with doubts?
Dalia RABIN-PELOSOF: This comes in waves. There was a period when
Channel Two, with the reporter Matti Cohen, prepared a serious investigative
report. They sat with me and told me about their findings, and this
greatly aroused me. Unfortunately, they have done nothing with this
investigative reporting until now. And when I hear that a person
like Avigdor Eskin, whom I have been closely following ever since
the assassination, was run by the G.S.S. (General Security Services),
this arouses in me thoughts and wondering, and things arise. Such
things arouse the doubt in me again and again. I am exposed to this
all the time. Not long ago in the Knesset I met a person who brought
me a suitcase packed with documents full of doubts and question
marks. This person has been engaged in the investigation of the
assassination since it happened. And every time, from anew, I reach
the conclusion that perhaps there is no chance of reaching the truth,
and I leave this alone. And then, through someone else who is no
less troubled by this than the members of the family, this is awakened
from anew. This bothers me greatly. One of my ways of handling this
was to go and work in the Histadrut, to go to the Knesset, to involve
myself in public work. But this still does not help. The doubt harbors
in the mind. Question marks arise all the time. Such as, for example,
the inconsistency between the report of the doctor who received
Father when he arrived at Ichilov [Hospital] and the pathology report.
This does not let me alone. The feeling of frustration is very,
very difficult. "Someone shouted, 'This is a blank', and there is
no answer as to who shouted.... My mother rang me at home immediately
after it happened and told me, 'They shot Abba [Father], but it's
not for real'....When the security people drove her in a different
automobile to the hospital, they told her that it wasn't real. And
when she asked questions, they were silent and did not answer a
single question of hers... There are very many question marks around
everything that happened immediately after the assassination. How
was it that in the car that drove Imma, the security people did
not speak with anyone the entire way? Why didn't they let Imma drive
with Abba? Why did they separate them and take her in a separate
car? ... "Why did they take Imma from the place of the assassination?
Why did they want to hustle her away from the scene of the event
as fast as possible? Why did they tell her that this was an exercise?
What exercise? And what happened to the so-essential instincts of
every security person? Why didn't they immediately kill the assassin?
How did it happen that they didn't shoot him? ... "They accuse Yigal
Amir. But it is not so simple. It is much deeper, and much more
complex... I know that we in the family will find no rest until
we will know the truth... [Also] for example, the inconsistency
between the report of the doctor who received Abba when he arrived
at Ichilov [Hospital] and the pathology report. This does not leave
me. The feeling of frustration is very, very difficult..."
