In 1976 interview, Rabin likens settlements to ‘cancer,’ warns of ‘apartheid’

Never before heard comments show a prime minister frustrated with ‘one of the most acute dangers’ facing Israel
In a previously unpublicized recording of a 1976 interview, Israel’s fifth prime minister Yitzhak Rabin can be heard calling the still-nascent West Bank settlement movement “comparable to a cancer,” and warning that Israel risked becoming an “apartheid” state if it annexed and absorbed the West Bank’s Arab population.
The recording is being publicized for the first time in the documentary “Rabin: In His Own Words.” The film, timed to the 20th anniversary of Rabin’s November 1995 assassination by a Jewish extremist, traces Rabin’s life using original and sometimes never-before-seen footage. This ranges from a 1949 home movie by an American tourist showing Rabin as a young operations officer in the nascent IDF’s Southern Command, to the last days and hours of his eventful life, as the prime minister who launched the Oslo peace process with the Palestinians.
The candid recordings of Rabin were preserved thanks to Dan Patir, press secretary in Rabin’s first 1974-1977 premiership, who diligently recorded all of the prime minister’s interviews with journalists. The recordings include Rabin’s “off-the-record” comments to his interviewers, comments the journalists never published and which are coming to light for the first time.
“There’s nothing tougher for a man than to say what he is. It’s hard for me to say. It’s true that to a great extent I’m a ‘closed’ person,” Rabin says in one candid moment about his famously quiet and introverted personality.
