From Times Wire Reports
Israeli police are investigating the desecration of the graves of slain Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and his widow that leftist lawmakers blamed on ultranationalists opposed to a Gaza Strip pullout plan.
Authorities said vandals scrawled “murderous dog” in Hebrew on the Jerusalem tomb of Rabin, who was assassinated in 1995 by a far-right Jew incensed by his land-for-peace deals with the Palestinians.
The name of Rabin’s wife Leah, who died of cancer in 2000, was sprayed over on an adjacent headstone.
