I just finished
Operation Trojan Horse by John Keel. I had downloaded it, along with another book by him called
The Eighth Tower, some months ago when someone one /x/ recommended them. Just after finishing
Operation Trojan Horse but before opening
The Eighth Tower, I visited Keel's Wikipedia page to see what other books he had written. Wikipedia mentioned that his surname had been spelled
Kiehle at birth, which together with certain other biographical details -- journalist, raised an atheist -- made me wonder idly whether he might be Jewish.
Wikipedia had no information on this one way or the other, nor did a Google search for is john keel jewish turn up anything, so I gave up trying to find out and instead opened my epub of The Eighth Tower for the first time. The very first sentence in the book is:
"What's a nice Jewish boy like you doing in a place like this?"
Reading on, one finds that the question has no reference to Keel himself; it is spoken to Jesus by one of the crucified thieves. Still a bit of a coincidence.

Only Jews use the phrase "nice Jewish boy" as only Jews think "nice" is an attribute of Jews so its not a coincidence. Cohencidence maybe though.
Well, the line is put in the mouth of one Jew speaking to another, so it doesn’t necessarily imply anything about the author’s own ethnicity,
