Israel in Song… Ha Ish HaHu, 'That Man'

This song written by poet Natan Yonatan and composed and sang by the very famous Israeli Singer Shlomo Artzi, became one of the many tribute songs to Prime Minister Rabin after his assassination. The song tells the story of “That Man”, and asks “where are other men like him, where could they be found?”, “a man who was like the weeping willows”. It appealed to Rabin’s “uniqueness” as a leader and as a humble person, a warrior who understood the call of the people for peace, and who proved, with his life, that violence and extremism leads nowhere.
The following link(which English subtitles) presents Shlomo Artzi at one of the annual rallies held in Tel Aviv’s ‘Kikar Rabin’ to mark the date of Rabin assassination.
