POSTORIAL
g SHRINE AND SYMBOL — A MONUMENT FOR JFK
su
A new date in Jewish history will he marked July 4. On that
to day, the John F. Kennedy Monument will be dedicated on a hill*
a iop overlooking- Jerusalem, in the presence of the highest Ameri-
*"* can and Israeli dignitaries, and thousands who have journeyed
® from the United States to witness the historic occasion.
CO
c The Monument, a circular, 60-foot-hig'h structure, visible on
£ a c,ear day from as far away as Tel Aviv*, takes the form of a
. massive trunk on a giant tree, cut off before its prime, just as the
rt career of the martyred President was severed on that black Fri-
ll day, November 22, 1963. The Memorial is girded with 51 concrete
3 pylons, each bearing the emblem of one of the fifty states of the
Union and the District of Columbia. Inside, on the walls of the
^ chamber, excerpts from John F. Kennedy’s major utterances will
he inscribed.
The Monument stands at the entrance of a huge forest of
co 6,000,000 trees planted by the Jewish National Fund of America,
O'Which built the Memorial in cooperation with the Israel Govern-
ment, both as a shrine and a symbol of American-Israel friend-
|ship,
^ John F. Kennedy, on many occasions, expressed his admira*
i^tion for the Jewish National Fund and its land reclamation activi-
(pties, which he Likened to America’s conquest of the West more
eS than a hundred years ago. He was fond of quoting parallel after
g parallel between Israel’s conquest of the desert and America's
P westward expansion. In a message to the last JNF Assembly in
New York City, he said, “The Jewish National Fund represents
one of Zionism’s most constructive achievements in human wel-
fare and social development.”
American Jews, eager to pay tribute to the memory of our
great, fallen President, will join the Pilgrimage to the John F.
Kennedy Monument Dedication cn July 4, sponsored by the Jewish
National Fund of America, and led by U.S. Supreme Court Chief
Justice Earl Warren and members of the Kennedy family, as well
as the chief officers cf the Jewish National Fund, notably Herman
L. We'isman, president, and Dr. Milton Aron, national director.
They will participate in a special convocation of the Jewish Nat-
ional Fund, and will be received by leading government persona-
lities, headed by President Shazer and Prime Minister Eshkol,
Among the other highlights is a Study Mission, of several days’
duration, which wilt enable the participants to inspect the pioneer-
ing work of the JNF in all parts of the country.
The late President was a friend of Israel and the Jewish peo-
ple, and it is only proper that his memory should live in the land
where the Jewish people live. __
KING’S BLUNDER
Somebody among King Faisal’s advisers on the American
outlook goofed seriously.
No other explanation seems to make sense in seeking to
understand why the visiting Arab monarch decided to embrrass
his host Government and infuriate many if not most Americans
— Jews and non-Jews alike — by denouncing American Jews
from a platform, in Washington .
When King Faisal denounced American Jews fo.r supporting
Israel and said, in the fine old Arab phrase, “the enemy of our
friend is our enemy,” he created an impossible situation. For,
as Jewish organizations pointedly noted, he could hardly be ex-
cluding the overwhelming majority of American governmental,
civic and religious leaders who have consistently supported Israel
for a variety of humanitarian reasons. Every national admini~tra-
tion, .including the prerent one, has supported Israel, not only
with expressions of backing but with money and — in most
administrations — with arms as well.
It may be argued that the Arabian king, center of world
communication's attention cn a visit to the United States, could
hardly say anything el'c, facing as he does, the violent hostility
of Egypt’s Nasser. But this is the same thing as saying* that a
powerful monarch has not learned the elementary skill of polite-
ly saying notb;ng which is one of the indispensable skills of
any figure in public life.
If, as it appears reasonable to assume, his advisers conveyed
to him a fantastically inaccurate picture of the American tempe-v.
he may have been only the victim of extraordinarily bad counsel.
Another possibility is that the performance sprang from the
mentality of the absolute monarch, accustomed to autocratic
power and the submissiveness of a population over which he is
total master.
He made his incredible mistake in a different kind of society,
It all adds up to a King’s blunder!
. . Finally, in desperation, he shouts: ‘I am your Aryan!
You are my Jewess!' And here the hate turns into a tragic
love story with undoubtedly the most unlikely Romeo Cmd Juliet
ever seen on the screen! A haunting masterpiece!"
