O/T about RFK:A thing that no one mentions is that RFK's assassination was true terrorism: it was done for a specific political purpose. The assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, was hostile to the USA and believed RFK would be favorable to the state of Israel, which Sirhan wanted to eliminate. Sirhan was an Arab living in territory Jordan had previously taken from Israel, which is still disputed. In the 1960s, in an effort by various parties hostile to the USA, a new term was coined for the Jordanians, Syrians and a handful of nomadic people living in that spot: "Palestinian". That, in turn, comes from a Latin word coined by the Roman Empire in the 1st century A.D, "Palestine", which in turn came from an ancient, perhaps mythical people described in the Bible over a thousand years before that, the Philistines. Sirhan was a Jordanian citizen who lived in the spot renamed as 'Palestinian'. Years later, Nidal Hassan followed the path of Sirhan Sirhan, though with a more generalized intent to weaken and injure the USA. In the USA, we forget the Old World's history. In the Mideast, history remembers you. |
