As soon as jews heard JFK was shot many of them panicked that they would be killed in retaliation.
(archive.is)https://archive.is/KY4qeWhat an odd thing to say. They just assumed that their people had something to do with it and that it would be found out.
I was 10 when John Fitzgerald Kennedy was shot... I was an Israeli child living temporarily in the U.S., and was possibly less prepared for the mass Jewish hysteria that quickly overtook the entire school. Outside the door, grown ups were running up and down, shouting, crying, setting the scene for a dramatic climax which may have been a prank, for all I know, or the product of an unusually feverish imagination:
“Lyndon Johnson has already sent emissaries around the world to kill all the Jews,” someone shouted, and utter mayhem broke out. We knew that there was nowhere to hide, no chance of escape.
And apologies, of course, to LBJ, who turned out to be quite a good friend of the Jews.
You could write a book on all the ways LBJ helped the jews. He was either a cousin or one of the top shabbos ever.
