When the topic turns to biblical heroes, the name Shamgar doesn't usually ring a lot of bells. An article by Meron Rapaport in today's Haaretz Magazine relates that when East Jerusalem was annexed in 1968, then-attorney general Meir Shamgar decided not to apply the Absentee Property Law to real estate in Jerusalem that was owned by West Bank residents. The penultimate chapter, titled simply, "Failure," decries the decision by the Shamgar Commission, which conducted Israel's official inquiry into the assassination, not to examine the campaign of anti-Rabin incitement. |
