...names of those who died inside those vehicles,'' Rabin says. By age 32 he was a general; 12 years later, he became chief of staff and devised the tactics for Israel's brilliant victory over Syria, Egypt and Jordan in the 1967 Six-Day War. Swashbuckling Defense Minister Moshe Dayan took most of the credit -- an injustice that rankles Rabin to this day.

In the late '60s spending time on a kibbutz was a fashionable way for European teens to bridge the gap between school and university...
...fated peace rally in what is now Rabin Square in Tel Aviv, especially not one who had insulted the prime minister just weeks before. It might help that his father, Yonaton, is a famous folk singer and that he is the nephew of former Israeli Minister of Defense Moshe Dayan, but it is Geffen’s lyrics that make his music important, his lyrics that make him more than just a pop icon...
