The Kempler video is the seven and a half minute video made by Roni Kempler while standing on the roof of a building overlooking the scene at the Kings of Israel Square during the assassination of Prime Minister of Israel Yitzhak Rabin on November 4th, 1995 in Tel Aviv, Israel. Almost two months after the Rabin assassination, Israelis were shocked to read in their newspapers that an amateur film of the event would be shown on Channel Two news. The filmmaker was announced as a "Polish tourist". However, this story changed the day of the broadcast. The filmmaker was, in fact, an Israeli named Roni Kempler. The Kempler video disappeared from the public discourse for ten years and has now returned on the Internet! In his sole television appearance the night his film was broadcast, Roni Kempler explained that he wasn't interested in making money. It was quickly discovered that Roni Kempler worked for the State Comptroller's Office and was a bodyguard in the Israeli army reserves. The Kempler video was shown on Israeli TV in its entirety two times in December 1996 and the name Roni Kempler was known world-wide. In the ensuing years the video was never shown in its entirety on Israeli TV, and the name Roni Kempler is never mentioned in the Israeli media. The Kempler video was used during the trial of convicted assassin Yigal Amir, the Shamgar Commision on the Yitzhak Rabin assassination and used for a brief period to convince the Israeli public that Yigal Amir did, in fact, commit the murder of Rabin. The viewing of the Kempler video in 1996 convinced Barry Chamish to write and lecture on the Rabin murder conspiracy and Israeli political corruption. Israeli David Rutstein researched the Rabin murder on the internet and soon thereafter made a partnership with Barry Chamish to bring the Rabin murder conspiracy to the entire Israeli public and American assistant David Ben-Ariel strives to make it known to the whole world. Subsequently, websites were built in Hebrew and in English to show the video free of charge. The most haunting moment of the video is the seconds before Rabin is placed in the car, the opposite back passenger door slams shut. This segment has been examined and tested by numerous journalists, every shadow on the screen traced, every possible explanation exhausted. It seems that someone was waiting inside the car for Rabin. The question arises "Why did they make this video if it's so incriminating?" One obvious answer may be that "they made a mistake." That may be the reason why the video is not shown or even mentioned on Israeli TV. Therefore, the majority of younger Israelis didn't even about the Kempler video. That is, until now with its sudden reappearance. Now it's the talk of the nation and will soon be discussed by the whole world as the Rabin assassination cover-up gets blown! |
