Rabin oversaw the deporta tion of Palestinians from their own land and later orchestrated the "iron fist" heatings of Pales tinian children who threw stones at heavily armed Jewish troops during the intifada. The Middle East is such a sick and mentally twisted place that Rabin was murdered, but not for his many war crimes that should have been punished by the World Court. Instead, Rabin was shot for the one good thing he did. which was to recognize the legit imate political aspirations of the people whose land he stole Christopher Calder Eugene Not enough I too was surprised at the lack of response to the race relations question (QOK, Oct it).
