    I wouldn't be pro Israel or pro Palestine but I thought this was interesting. He said this in 1960 regarding Israel.
    Israel will endure and flourish, it is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralised by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom.
    He also lifted an economic embargo which presidents Truman and Eisenhower had on Israel.He also was the first US president to give Israel US weapons and called the protection of Israel from its Arab foes a national and moral commitment. Also the embargo he lifted is similar to what the US still has on Cuba today. The source for all this info is Wikipedia.

    7 years later Israel started colonising outside its borders and JFK, being dead, never made a pronouncement on what he thought of this.

    Israel is a farce. One country (the UK) promised the land of another country (Palestine) to a group of fanaticists. They were originally going to Uganda. That would've saved a lot of trouble.

    By the middle of 63 or late 63 Kennedy had warned Israel not to create nuclear weapons. He told Israel that his country would withdraw military aid because he feared a nuclear arms race in the middle east but by then kennedy had created a monster he couldn't control.

    And the Nazi's nearly sent them to Madagascar. That would have been a strange movie.

    When i first read about the Madagascar plan i honestly thought it was one of the weirdest things I'd heard. You'd have to be seriously toned to come up with that idea.
