(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Lenny Ben-David - June 6, 2018, marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, brother of slain U.S. President John F. Kennedy and former U.S. Attorney General, who was the leading Democratic candidate for president in 1968. His Palestinian assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, said he killed Kennedy due to his vocal support for Israel. In April 1948, Robert Kennedy, then 22, traveled to Palestine to report on the conflict there for the Boston Post. Read his four dispatches from the scene.
