Re: Michael Karpin's propaganda film
Professors for a Strong Israel deplores the Second Channel's
broadcast of Michael Karpin's film about the Rabin assassination.
This film is
a severely biased piece of propaganda and incitement,
which blames a majority
of the Jewish public for the crimes of a lone assassin.
Its broadcast is a serious abuse of freedom of expression.
It is especially ironic
in light of the withholding of the Israel Prize from Shmuel Schnitzer,
senior journalist, because of a single article which was alleged to
contain incitement against a small minority group.
Once more, we demand that the secret appendix of the Shamgar Committee
report be made public, so that we may know the role of Avishai Raviv
in the Rabin assassination.
