By Lenny ben David, I*Consult

Remembering the Words of a Friend of Israel

A young Harvard graduate, Bobby Kennedy, defied his father and decided to visit Palestine in March 1948, before “Israel” had been proclaimed. The perceptive observer described his experience in a series of articles published in June 1948 in the Boston Post, a newspaper that closed in 1956.

Editor’s note: Years later his daughter told me, “My father was killed by a Palestinian terrorist [Sirhan Sirhan] because of his strong support for Israel.” He was killed on the first anniversary of the 1967 Six Day War.

    Are you really this crazy. This anti semitic family cozy with Hitler and all the other fanatics who hated the Jewish People are being awarded a special Yahrzeit? Have you all gone insane?

Jut the newest conspiracy theory out there. Bobby Kennedy, what a joke you have played on yourself.

    You’re really starkers, man.

  3. The assassination of Robert F. Kennedy could be considered the first act of Islamic terrorism on US soil. I believe Sirhan-Sirhan
    assassinated him based entirely on his support of Israel.
