Rabin was an architect of
Israel's 1967 war in which lews
invaded the West Bank, Gaza,
and Jerusalem after first destroy
ing Egypt's air force on the
ground in a Pearl Harbor-style
surprise attack.
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

As a former sports writer and

wanted to take a moment to
commend tha suparb opinion
column (ODE. Nov. 7), by assis
tant sports editor Mark Mi Tyre
Not only did he weave a first
class sports story, but he pre
sented a wonderful look at two
Ducks (Kicky Whittle and A I
lelks) who did a great job of rep
resenting themselves, the foot
ball team and the University to
our community.
We just moved to Fugene so 1
could teach sports marketing in
