    The files were declassified back in 2016, I believe.

    Princess Elizabeth was around when Irgun/Stern/Palmach/Haganah were working for Israeli independence from the British Mandate. Less we forget the first VBIED was at the King David Hotel. That Elizabeth would feel that the Isaelis were terrorists should not come as any surprise.

    Harry Truman’s daughter wrote that the Stern Gang tried to letter bomb her dad in 1947, the same year that the Lehi mailed more than twenty bombs to British officials in the U.K.

    Israel almost certainly had some connection to the JFK assassination. There is evidence to suggest that at least one CIA mole worked closely with the Mossad and Shin Bet—James J. Angleton, chief of the Counterintelligence Staff—who was also friends with Kim Philby of MI6. A memorial to Angleton was later established in Jerusalem. One might regard that as the usual middle finger extended by members of the Israeli gangster state.

    And I had an uncle doing his National Service in Palestine at the time, and getting used for target practice by BOTH sides. He hated Arabs AND jews to his dying day.

    Can't say I blame him Gordon. I would too and that's only being human. I read one book where a regiment served in Palestine and participated in the invasion of French controlled Syria. They fought against Rommel and then in Italy. They expected to be returned to England and demob'd but were sent to Palestine instead. They were not, as we say in America, happy campers. What regiment did your uncle serve in?

    I wasn't aware that the "chosen" attempted to kill Truman. I know about the shoot out between a Puerto Rican Independence "fighter" and the Secret Service who were protecting Truman. Modernly I think the Epstein files aren't fully released is to protect the Mossad. Maxwell's father as a Mossad asset and suspect that daugther and Jerry were too.

    He was a Don R (despatch rider) with the Royal Corps of Signals.
