UN Peacekeeper Murdered: Murderers Given Impunity Forever
Interview
Fred Jerome. journalist and science writer, covered the 1960s civil rights movement, university journalism instructor, inventor of Media Resource Service connecting journalists with scientists
Fred Jerome's article, "Kill Bernadotte," is an absolutely fascinating historical account of Israeli fascist groups' September 17, 1948, assassination of Count Folke Bernadotte, a UN Mediator and humanist whose mandate was to create a peace agreement between the Jews and the Palestinians.
The Secretary General Tryve Lie teamed Count Folke Bernadotte with Ralph Bunche, an African American scholar and diplomat who had studied Mideast issues.
Bunche educated Bernadotte about the reality of the Israeli war against Palestine. There were many bones of contention, but the impasse was allowing the Palestinians the right to return home. The Israeli would never allow the return of the Palestinians whom they violently cast out of Palestine.
This is not a murder mystery. The assassins and the assassin planners openly admit their crime for which they were not charged nor punished. They are treated as heroes. The assassins only lament is that they mistakenly killed French Colonel Andre Serot (sitting next to Bernadotte in a car) instead of Ralph Bunche ("the man with the ideas") when they stormed and machined gunned their victims.
Jerome does an amazing job of navigating the reader through the twists and turns of historical reality re the Israeli war against the Palestinians, the peacekeeping mission, the development of friendship between Bernadotte and Bunche, the rage of the Israeli who had no intention of making any compromises, the Israeli Mafia who commit murder with impunity.
The ending is a real shocker that the reader will discover when reading this compelling story.
