On this, too, Kahane was right

The New York Times reports on a 1973 tape on which Kissinger tells Nixon that the plight of Jews in the Soviet Union is not America’s concern. Kissinger’s remark was in response to a plea from Golda Meir.

Since 1968, Rabbi Kahane’s Jewish Defense League had been terrorizing Soviet interests in the United States to force the two governments to work out a scheme to release Soviet Jewry.
