I don't know but if my father and uncle were murdered I would be careful with what I said to upset people regarding Zionism particularly when the United States govt denied protection. The president had no right to do that. Without the FBI, CIA and US military to check on things like strategically placed bombs on roads or in limos, I would be pretty frightened someone might kill me. Wouldn't you?

Many of us gray haired people were very happy with Kennedy's campaign until his adamant support for Israel's genocide. It put the lie to his anti-war and anti-racism verbal commitment. He has lost a lot of support over this and his refusal to look at the context of Oct 7 which is the 75 yr old illegal and brutal Israeli Occupation of Palestine with its imperialist goals of gaining control of other Arab states. One of his major points of attraction was his commitment to talk with people about all issues with an open mind. Given the outpouring of millions of people in the US and world wide against this genocide against the Palestinians and Israel's outright denial of their cultural existence it is clear that he is not as open minded as he claims and has betrayed any trust we had placed in him. We liked his stance of vaccine safety which he has refused to even discuss anymore which raises questions about whether he would sell out to AIPAC and Christian Zionists. Given his popularity among many younger people, losing the support of the older generations who wanted to trust him is a losing position and I urge his to alter his positions on this.
