Palestinian Arabs made up the first "Jews killed JFK" conspiracy theory only three days after he was assassinated

Over the past two days, the US released thousands of documents related (sometimes very tenuously) to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Immediately, antisemites tried to find ways that somehow those documents implicated Israel or Jews. For example, a 1954 letter that indicated that there was a secret channel of communication between Israeli intelligence and the CIA has been trumpeted as proving...I have no idea, but whatever it is, the Jews must have been up to no good.

I found a letter that was previously released that directly accused Israel of the assassination. 

Sent on November 25, 1963, only three days after the shooting, the letter says JFK's murder was a "carefully plotted Zionist criminal conspiracy:"

 The late President was likelу to win the coming Presidency elections without supplicating the Zionist sympathy or seeking the Jews votes. Aware of the fact that their influence and power in the United States are based upon the Jews votes, the Zionists murdered the courageous President who was about to destroy that legend of theirs. His assassination is a warning to the rest of the honorable leaders.

According to James Bamford, in his book Body of Lies, this was intercepted by the US as a cable from a delegation of Palestinians at the UN to somewhere in the Middle East. It seems likely to have been written by Ahmed Shukeiri, the Saudi UN representative who was to become the first leader of the PLO the following year. He appears to have been sending this letter to leaders in Cairo or Syria to suggest that they send condolences but also to plant the seed that the Jews were behind the plot.

Other secret US memos mention that Syrian media immediately started spreading the same rumor. 

Egyptian as well:

This is the nature of conspiracy theories - the theories are created first, and only afterwards is evidence sought and cherry picked. 

There is now a cottage industry blaming Jews for the death of JFK, with hundreds of videos and articles that try mightily to make their case. But the first ones on record to do this are the Palestinian Arabs at the UN in 1963, with no evidence whatsoever. Here is the proof, in black and white.

After I wrote this, I see that an Egyptian newspaper is posting the context-less letter from Palestinians as proof of the Jewish conspiracy to kill JFK.
