Documents Show Nixon Ordered Jews Excluded from Israel Policy
(Wall Street Journal) Louise Radnofsky - Documents released Friday by the Richard Nixon presidential library contain fresh details on the former president's antipathy toward Jews. Nixon ordered his aides to exclude all Jewish-Americans from policy-making on Israel, according to formerly classified notes taken by then-chief of staff Bob Haldeman in July 1971. "No Jew can handle the Israeli thing," the notes read. Later, Haldeman writes, "Forget the Jews - they're against" the administration.
