Rabin: A Misunderstood Man that Strived For Real Peace

Late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin lived and was martyred at a time when Palestine was still in a great turmoil because of the war and what even I know of Rabin, he was a man that had a very good side, which may have been misunderstood because of what was happening so much to people at the time.

Because even I had to learn of the real truth that caused his death and find it admirable that he would do what he was actually trying to do; even if it caused his life and that of my own mother, for what they where actually trying to do from my understanding was very exceptional, with negotiations of peace that would not actually be formulated until thirteen years later.

People like Rabin and HRM Zaytuna, which was my mother, should always be remembered in the annuals of Palestine history; for the remarkable thing they actually were trying to do.
