The Rabin memoirs mean nothing, having been selectively written by the perpetrator of many war Crimes and Crimes against Humanity, and published many years after any events they refer to. They are as as relevant as the memoirs of let's say Joseph Goebbels, had he lived to have his memoirs published. Rabin was a known War Criminal it is hardly likely he would admit to his atrocities in his own self glorifying memoirs.

So, Rabin memoirs mean nothing. Where's your proof? Because the link you gave is full of lies. I'll take the first 2:
"1. Mr. Rabin Was Responsible for Ethnical Cleaning / Deportation in 1948"
It's about the order he gave to "expell" the population of Lydda. Of course your "source" distorts the facts by leaving out important facts.
"The twin cities Lydda and Ramleh were of high strategic value (the capture ended Arab threats to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem). Ramleh surrendered and Israel provided busses for the travel. The mayor of Lydda wanted to surrender but was
killed by the Arabs.
On July 10 when the battalion attacked Lydda, the Arab leadership surrendered. Lydda's leaders were told they could continue to live in peace, provided they surrendered their arms and accepted Israeli sovereignty. They agreed. "Leaving only a few soldiers as guards, the battalion left Lydda to return to Ben Shemen. However, when two Arab Legion armored cars appeared on the horizon the next day, giving the impression that Legion reinforcements were arriving, the Lydda Arabs reneged on their agreement. They didn't give the Israeli soldiers in the town the choice of being expelled. They slaughtered them. "In the meantime, the battalion was surprised to find itself in Ramle sooner than intended. Instead of taking the road to Ben Shemen, the leading vehicle, driven by Jimmy Kantey, had in error turned towards Ramle at the crossroad.... "As a consequence of the massacre of the Israeli soldiers, the troops on returning to Lydda could not accept a fifth column in their midst and forced thousands of families out of the towns during the next three days."
This was not etnical cleaning but pure military sense and propably saved many civilian lives who would otherwise be endangered by enemy actions.
"2. Mr Rabin Ordered in 1967 the Destruction of 3 Villages and the Expulsion of their Inhabitants"
Again this was for military reasons. The Isreali Army occupied large numbers of Palestinian villages during the Six Days War. Almost all were basically untouched. The Army did destroyed three villages---Imwas, Yalu and Beit Nuba (June 8, 1967). The 6,000 residents were deported. [Kenan] Israel knocked the houses down, and later the area became part of the Ayalon Park (known as Canada Park). I am not yet sure why the Isrealis took this action. one of the destroyed villages, Imwas, is thought to be a possible site of Emmaus of Christian scripture. The villages were treated differently because they were
an actual military threat. They commanded the road to Jerusalem. Lots of Israelis were killed along that road, particularly during the the 1947-48 siege of Jerusalem. In a sense, the destruction of the villages in 1967 was a final phase of the 1948-49 War, when Israel tried and failed a number of times to capture the Latrun salient. The Army acted here because of the
strategic position of the villages.
This is from a UN report A/6797* - 15 September 1967
"60. The Israel Minister of Defence, in his meeting with the Special Representative, stated that he had ordered the destruction of these damaged villages for strategic and security reasons since they dominated an important strategic area.
Representative, the State of Israel had informed the representatives of these three villages that it would help their population "to develop other areas". "
Every other thing you quoted has shown that my version was correct and we all know that you merely keep bringing it back in the hope silencing me by wasting my time re answering your continuous drivel, a known tactic of Hasbara Trolls. I know it's a pack of lies and so do the majority of the free world, you are merely the Zionazi version of a holocaust denier.
Don't say it, prove it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What a load of horsefeathers.
Homeland.Unfortunately none of the above have anything to do with this mystical "homeland"you allude to and even less to do with this thread.
Actually you are merely trying to obfuscate the facts, and using the oldest ploy in the book of posting great slabs of totally irrelevant "Guff".
The simple fact is, that what happened 1200 years ago has absolutely no bearing on today's actions and in no way excuses Israel's litany of War Crimes and Crimes against humanity. As I have said here a dozen times, my Jewish ancestors came from many places, but that gives me no right to go back to any of those places and drive out the present occupants by force of arms, murdering those who resist. It's as simple as that.
"Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the U.N. General Assembly, reads,
(1) Everyone has the right to
freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each State.
(2) Everyone has the
right to leave any country, including his own, and to
return to his country."
Lies, Damn lies, and Hasbara Fiction (Training Manual)
Targeting immature minds of those too lazy or stupid to look for the truth.
The 116-page instruction manual, called the
2009 Global Language Dictionary, was produced by The Israel Project (TIP), which describes itself as “non-partisan” on Twitter but elsewhere says it’s “devoted to educating the press and the public about Israel while promoting security, freedom and peace”. (A classic piece of Hasbara in itself).
See here for an evaluation of this "work"
(Note: The evaluation is by a fellow Jew Richard Silverstein).

And because God, the Great Real Estate Agent in the Sky, gave them the keys to the Holy Land their abominable behaviour is deserving of our support.
The manual teaches the propaganda tricks that Israel’s scribblers and drivelers use to try and justify the slaughter, the ethnic cleansing, the land-grabbing, the cruelty and their contempt for international law and UN resolutions, and make it all smell sweet.
Of course no mention is made of the litany of Israeli crimes against the occupants of Gaza that led to all this. Things like the random small arms and artillery fire into Gaza, (remember the family walking on the beach)* Beatings, murder and deliberate delays of sick and injured at Checkpoints, Deliberate targeted destruction of vital infrastructure (Water and Sewage systems), Constant shortages of daily necessities including food and building materials to repair the damage, Harassment and Murder.
Talk about condescending?... It's about as phoney as a three Dollar note.
This manual does not come from Israel, it comes from the US, and it is not affiliated with any government.
Read the covenant of Hamas, that's far worse. They demand the destruction of Israel.
*The
Gaza beach blast was an incident on June 9, 2006 in which eight
Palestinians were killed and at least thirty others injured in an explosion on a beach near the municipality of
Beit Lahia in the
Gaza Strip. "On 9 June 2006, between 4:31 and 4:50 p.m., Israeli artillery and a navy gunboat fired 8
artillery shells at the beach"
Of course there are dozens of other cases, most with video evidence that have all been posted here previously.
Well, for one thing the dead and injured were taken to an
Israeli hospital. The shrapnel removed was inconsistent with artillery, the victims were
not in the location where the artillery was aimed, the incident occurred about f
ive minutes after the shelling had ceased, the crater on the beach was
inconsistent with an artillery crater, but completely
consistent with a buried charge.
question raised by the newspaper (Süddeutsche Zeitung) is a shot of a man carrying a rifle next to the dead body of Hadil's father. The newspaper said in earlier footage, the same man was seen lying on the beach among the injured.
