I would say, maybe the Christians, but Sirhan Sirhan was a Christian.

Cue patsy theories.

According to his mother, Mary, Sirhan was traumatized as a child by the violence he witnessed in the Arab–Israeli conflict, including the death of his older brother, who was run over by a military vehicle that was swerving to evade gunfire.

I had always heard he was from Palestine, though I lived oversea at the time. I never really went back and looked at the assassination of RFK after the fact, and that is what I remembered from that time, so I suppose its possible ChicagoConservative27 was in the same boat, getting news from places that might not have been accurate.

I read the Wikipedia account (something to be wary at all times of accuracy, especially with political issues like this) and they say he was a Jordanian Christian who lived in a Palestinian locality, and killed RFK after he immigrated to the USA (never becoming a citizen) because he was supporting Israel. Is that more in line with the reality of the situation as you know it?

Sirhan never had American citizenship neither he attained it in reality instead he retained his Jordanian citizenship though he stayed in the US for a long time.

“..My only connection with Robert Kennedy was his support for Israel and his conscious attempt to send those 50 bombers to Israel that was intended to have obvious harm with the Palestinians…..and some scholars believed that this assassination was the primary considerable incident of the political violence that took place in the United States staunching from Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East…”
