Explanation

Yitzhak Rabin, the Israeli Prime Minister, sang 'Song of Peace' (Shir LaShalom) at a peace rally in Tel Aviv on November 4, 1995, minutes before he was assassinated by Yigal Amir, a Jewish extremist opposed to the Oslo Accords. The assassination was a devastating blow to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Mahatma Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi were also assassinated, but not immediately after singing, and JFK was assassinated in 1963, not at a peace rally.
