For Palestinians, Yitzhak Rabin is remembered first of all as someone who instructed soldiers
to break their arms and legs, when they began their popular uprising against the Israeli
occupation in 1987.
Before the handshake on the White House lawn, before the Nobel Prize and before the murder,
when Palestinians were asked about Rabin, this is what they remember: One thinks of his hands,
scarred by soldiers' beatings; another remembers a friend who flitted between life and death in
the hospital for 12 days, after he was beaten by soldiers who caught him drawing a slogan on a
wall during a curfew. Yet another remembers the Al-Am'ari refugee camp; during the first
intifada, all its young men were hopping on crutches or were in casts because they had thrown
stones at soldiers, who in turn chased after them and carried out Rabin's brutal orders...
Below is the shocking footage of Israeli soldiers carrying out Rabin's orders to
"Break their bones" which was shot by an American News crew during the
First Palestinian Intifada (uprising) against Israel's brutal occupation in 1987...
