Recent releases of the "Nixon Tapes" give damning evidence of Kissinger's disregard for Jews - at least Soviet Jews.
But let's understand the context. In the role of playing sycophant to Richard Nixon, Kissinger said some awful things about the Soviet Jewish Question. As such, it doesn't PROVE much about Kissinger's genuine attitude
On the Other Hand, we don't see a lot of evidence showing Kissinger as a self-loving Jew either
The Media opinions range from:
Indifferent

To
Despicable.

But also note: outrage sells more papers than cool reason.
My conclusion? Despite the recent revelations, we lack the evidence to be certain.
We certainly have enough to be suspicious.
