About this episode
In a show marking, with sadness, the 20th anniversary of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin’s murder, Allison, Noah and Don (fresh back from rehab) discuss three Rabin-related topics, and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Whose death is it, anyway? We discuss the struggle over Rabin’s legacy: Should it be a broad message about political violence, or a narrower message about the dangers of the occupation? Who really killed Rabin? Alarming polls show that one third of all Israelis and half of religious Israeli Jews do not believe that PM Rabin was killed by Yigal Amir, instead believing one of the many conspiracy theories that proliferate. We ask why. Had Rabin lived… We try to answer that unanswerable, counterfactual question: Had Yigal Amir eaten some bad sushi on the 3rd of November, 1995, what country and what world would we be living in today?
