Day to remember how a right wing Israeli whacko ruined peace prospects

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) -- Tens of thousands of Israelis packed the Tel Aviv square where Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated 10 years ago to mourn the former prime minister and to express hopes that his memory would spur new efforts to bring peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
---
Rabin was shot and killed as he left the peace rally here November 4, 1995, by Yigal Amir, an extremist Jew who considered Rabin a traitor for making concessions to the Palestinians. Since the killing, relations with the Palestinians steeply deteriorated, finally collapsing in a wave of violence that began more than five years ago and left the peace camp in tatters.

I'm not that old but it's hard to believe it's been 10 years. Easily the worst day for the peace process . . . aside from Sharon's election(s).

Yeah, sure, a whacko. Just like Oswald. Check this site for example: http://www.barrychamish.com/
There is an interview of Rabin's daughter; she says she feels like the Kennedy family after JFK's assassination.
