democide

Yigal Amir shot Rabin in the back
embarrassingly easy deed to do
Israelis weren't braced for this attack
his guards watched for an Arab, not a Jew
Palmach's own son, respected more than loved
he lacked a politician's verbal grease
the warrior become reluctant dove
to leave his grandchildren a world at peace
mis-handled backlash squandered sympathy
the program left to Peres stalled and sunk
Likud won votes for more security
and Labour lost what should have been slamdunk
two bullets slammed into the Jewish State
incited by yeshivot teaching hate
