He is best known for his book Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin?, in which he blames the Rabin assassination on Shimon Peres and the Shin Bet. He also accused Shimon Peres of the death of former Utah Congressman D. Wayne Owens. He further links his conspiracy theories with the roles of Freemasonry and the New World Order. He has also written a book about UFO sightings in Israel, and currently has a website and newsletter devoted to conspiracy theories about the deaths of various Israelis, such as Ofra Haza and Rafael Eitan, and Israeli politics.
One of Chamish's websites carries the name yigalamir.com, after the murderer of the late prime-minister of Israel. Members of Yigal Amir's family told Yedioth Ahronoth, Israel's most sold daily, that "they object to Hamish's ideas, and that they have no right to publish such a website. They added the campaign angers Yigal Amir himself"
Chamish served in an Israeli tank division during the 1982 Lebanon War. He has written extensively about what he views as Ariel Sharon's and Shimon Peres's mismanagement of the war. He accuses Sharon of sending his brigade deep into Lebanon after receiving orders from former Prime Minister Menachem Begin to advance no more than 20 kilometers beyond the border, and then sending word back to Begin that the advance had indeed halted at 20 kilometers. Chamish's brigade ran into heavy fire, and the brigade was given no air support, resulting in half of it being destroyed.
Chamish lives in Modi'in, Israel.
