"Shalom, Haver" - "Farewell, Friend", has become part of the Israeli lexicon ever since it was first utterred by U.S. President Bill Clinton at the graveside of Israel's late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. Bumper-stickers bearing this poignant phrase became ubiquitous all over Israel, as an expression of the national sense of shock and loss that cloaked the country in the wake of the tragic assasination. As Israel and the world remember Rabin, brutally murdered two and a half years ago, this link assumes undeniable significance.
