Yitzhak Rabin assassination conspiracy theories

Conspiracy theories arose almost immediately following the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin on November 4, 1995.

The perpetrator, Jewish Israeli law student Yigal Amir, was apprehended within seconds by people in the crowd.

The assassination was reported as a clear-cut matter in Israeli media, and the Shamgar national inquiry commission and the court all drew the same conclusion that Amir was guilty of murder.

A second, mostly Israeli left-wing criticism, attacks the very existence of such theories as a denial of what they consider to be right-wing "responsibility" for the murder.

The conspiracy theorists, according to this criticism, move the debate away from the responsibility of what they call the "perpetrators of the Oslo crimes".
