Perez, Simon

(former Haganah Leader, Former Prime Minister) , speaking English:
-  "I told him: watch out. If you want freedom you could not find any better partner than me. Otherwise I will be your hardest enemy. I do not fight for power, only for freedom."

Amir, Geula

(Mother of Assassin) , speaking Hebrew:
-  "He always said that we have to overthrow this government. We calmed him down saying that we have to wait till the next elections and probably it will happen. He thought people were too apathetic. We would all be slaves. He always said it. He was an intelligent boy, not a carpet-bagger."

Sprinzak, Ehud

(Talmud scholar) , speaking English:
-  "As he explained, Rabin was responsible for the death of the Jews because he allowed the „Hamas” to enter and his politics opened the road for the terrorism and betrayed the Israelis, wherefore he could have been sentenced to death according to the strict laws."

Amir, Geula

(Mother of Assassin) , speaking Hebrew:
-  "That morning we had been laughing about the protest in the evening. I asked him if he would take part, but he said that he had nothing to with it. It would only be a waste of his time."

Perez, Simon

(former Haganah Leader, Former Prime Minister) , speaking English:
-  "I think it was the happiest and the saddest day of my life at the same time. For each of us. I knew him already for 50 years. He never hugged me before. You know, this was the first time when he hugged me as a brother."

Perez, Simon

(former Haganah Leader, Former Prime Minister) , speaking English:
-  "The doctor said that they would operate on him and hope that he survives. A couple of minutes later the doctors announced that he died. Together with his wife, Lea, we went to the surgery. He was lying there dead, peacefully and a sneer on his face. I kissed him good-bye."
