It has been more than a month and a half since Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated. Yet his vision and dream for peace in the Middle East continues to progress through his successor Shimon Peres and through the government's emissaries throughout the world. One such emissary is Jehudi Ki-nan the new consul general of Israel to Western Canada. Prior, the Dutch-bom, 54-year'Old was posted in San Francisco where he served as consul general of Israel to the U.S. Pacific Northwest. On an urwf ficial trip to the Vancouver area recently, he participated in a Shloshim ceremony to mark the 30 dxiys following Rabin's assassination. He also met with The Bulletin to talk about Israel's future direction.

If s not yom* children and it's not your life which is at stake. But criticism? Certainly. We can listen to it, but whether we abide by it or whether we do it, is something different.
Consul General Jehudi Ki-nar — It was symbolic that less than two weeks after the murder [of Rabin] we had an earthquake in Israel, and we had it for three days. It was like a warning coming from up there telling us how to be careful of what we're going to do, what we're doing with the world, and what we're doing with our people. After an earthquake, you have the aftershock. We are still in the aftershocks... and I think the aftershocks will continue.
In Israel, it's either to the left or to the right, or to religious or non-religious. People are not used to listening to each other.... We are a democratic society, we're proud to be a democratic society and we
We know that our only steadfast partner we have in the world — and we have very good friends in all kinds of countries—but the natural partner for us is the Jewish people. I think we have reached a status where we should be more outgoing than only
