It is apparent that he is a complete dupe of the most militant anti-Israel forces in the Arab world, believing in and parroting the worst elements in anti-Zionist propaganda.

This coincides with the statement of writer George Plimpton, an eyewitness to the assassination, that Sirhan appeared to be in a "trance" as he fired.
