Classified documents reveal... JFK and RFK were pushing back hard against Zionist aggression and law-breaking in the summer of 1963 “I cannot believe that Israel has any real desire to remain indefinitely a garrison state surrounded by fear and hate.” - John F. Kennedy On August 2, 1939, Albert Einstein addressed a letter to “F.D. Roosevelt, President of the United States” warning him about the progress Nazi Germany was making in nuclear physics and that their successful experiments with uranium could lead to the development of an atomic bomb. By coincidence, as I write this, this letter is up for auction at Christie’s with a minimum bid of $4 million.
Nine years later, along with other prominent Jewish leaders including Hannah Arendt, Einstein submitted another letter of warning, this one to the public and which appeared in the New York Times on December 2, 1948.
The letter described what the signatories said was “among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times”, the rise of extremist political groups in Israel which they described as “terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist.” The letter specifically pointed out one of their leaders Menachem Begin and detailed the massacre of 240 Palestinian civilians in the village of Deir Yassin which it said “most of the Jewish community was horrified (by)”.
Einstein’s second letter of warning has been largely ignored by history. Also ignored is the reality that one U.S. President and his Attorney General were aware of the risks extremism in Israel posed to both peace and stability in the Middle East and the integrity of the political system of the United States and in the summer of 1963 were taking forceful steps to confront these forces.

At this time in my life and reading explorations, I am more and more inclined towards historical records. Documents, such as these, presented in their historical context, provide valuable insight into the political situation and relationship between nations. One of the most intriguing aspects of history and political relations for me is the apparent mystery, or so it seems to me, that the state of Israel has more than a healthy coercive influence on the government of the United States. Thus, I am on a quest to figure out how this can be. This book has helped me gain further insight into a potential direction of an explanation. Transparency in all matters political is very important. A nation cannot be politically mature and engaged, if crucial documents and actions by their own government are being concealed from them, and often for decades. As Thomas Jefferson rightfully wrote, and I interpret his words here, a nation that is ignorant of its own status and situation is not a nation living in freedom, and can never hope to achieve that.
I have read a few JFK books, but I felt this book provided additional perspective which I did not have. It specifically covered JFK’s dealings with Israel. I also liked that it touched on the RFK assassination.
