It was arguably the first "blowback" result of US policy in the middle east. Arguably the "first shot" of which 9/11 is a continuing series of events in the same long struggle.

I seriously doubt that RFK was the only U.S. politician that supported Israel during the Six Day War, so why would he have been the only one singled out for assassination by Moslems?
What about Nixon, who sent military aid to Israel during the Yom Kippur War in 1973? For all of his other faults, I would venture that Nixon is the only U.S. president to ever fully support Israel.
