Extracts: In 1939, a 21 year old John F. Kennedy visited Palestine and wrote a letter to his father about his impressions. He begins his letter by saying that the British had made conflicting claims about the eventual disposition of the land to both the Arabs and the Jews … He then goes on to describe the beginnings of the waves of terror by the Jewish groups under false flag operations. In just one night there were 13 bombs set off in the Jewish quarter by them. The ironical part is that the Jewish terrorists bomb their own telephone lines and electric connections and the next day frantically phone the British to come and fix them up. This is part of an underlying problem that Kennedy foresees: “On the Jewish side there is the desire for complete domination, with Jerusalem as the capital of their new land of milk and honey…” … It is important to read this letter. First of all, it is a remarkably perceptive and sagacious piece of correspondence for a 21-year old young man. Kennedy understands the dynamics going on at that relatively early date. But secondly, it also shows his comprehension of the standing the Arabs have established, and the tactics that the Zionists are using to undermine that standing. Finally, he understands the moral/political problem of the British giving away what had clearly been labeled Palestine, and the Zionist denial of this. In my opinion, it is not possible to fully comprehend JFK’s policy in the Middle East as president without reference to this remarkable letter.”
