Harold Wallace Rosenthal

Harold Wallace Rosenthal (November 2, 1947 – August 11, 1976), was a member of the Jewish community of Washington D.C. and the administrative assistant of senator Jacob K. Javits from New York. On August 11, 1976, while on a fact-finding tour of American embassies Harold Rosenthal, along with three other people, was killed in an attack by the PLO at the El Al gate in Istanbul, Turkey, August 12, 1976.

He graduated from Cambridge University and Harvard graduate school, both on scholarships. After working for Congressman Hugh Carey (D-NY) he moved to the office of Senator Walter Mondale (D-MN) where he directed his legislative agenda. After a stint at the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Harold returned to the senate to work for Jacob Javits.

The year he was killed, his friends in Washington started the Harold Wallace Rosenthal Fellowship in his memory.

Website of the American Jewish Committee] ] For over thirty years the HWR Fellowship has placed young men and women of all nationalities, races and creeds in various summer working positions in Washington including the senate, the Pentagon, the State Department, and various international agencies.

Walter White Jr., editor and director of conservative monthly newspaper "Western Front", had an alleged interview (said to be dated one month before Harold's death) in which Mr.Rosenthal articulates a Jewish "conspiracy" to "take over" the U.S. government. The interview quickly caught on with the the right wing community. Today, it is often distributed in tandem with the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

White died claiming he had the "tape" of the interview in his possession. The Rosenthal family contacted both Google and Yahoo about keeping this defamation of Harold Rosenthal's name off the Internet but they refused to cooperate.
