Robert Kennedy was an American politician who served as Attorney General during his brother [John F. Kennedy](/people/john-f-kennedy/)'s presidency. In an interview published in 1988 by the John F. Kennedy Library, he expressed a cynical view of [Myer Feldman](/people/myer-feldman/), noting that while his older brother valued Feldman's work, Feldman's major interest was [Israel](/places/israel/) rather than the [United States](/places/united-states/).[^1]
