Roosevelt JR. (c) and John F. Kennedy, during their short visit to Israel. By Sam Husseini / Substack [I researched this piece and wrote much of it many months ago as I wrote a piece about JFK having tried to stop Israel from getting nuclear weapons. I’d hoped to find time to investigate things further before the Nov. 22 “anniversary” of the assassination of JFK. But particularly with Israel’s assault on the Palestinians in Gaza, I’ve not found the time to dig deeper. But that assault, the under-covered role of Israel’s nukes, the power of the pro-Israeli lobby and the disconnect between the US public and the government in the current slaughter makes this piece all the more relevant, so I’m sharing what I have.] If I had a dime for every time I heard someone say that JFK (reportedly) saying he wanted to shatter the CIA into a thousand pieces led to his assassination I’d be a very wealthy man. For decades, I’ve done work on Israel’s nuclear weapons arsenal and the refusal of the US establishment to even acknowledge its existence. But, incredibly, I’d not heard that there might be a connection between the two — the JFK assassination and Israel’s nukes — until a year or two ago. If JFK apparently making a rhetorical statement about the CIA is a go-to basis for many that the CIA actually killed him, what about the fact that, as I wrote this summer: “60 Years Ago, JFK Tried to Stop the Israeli Bomb”? donate: please Support our INDEPENDENT journalism You can also make a donation to our PayPal or subscribe to our Patreon. Where’s the evidence? Well, the Warren Commission narrative is bunk, but actual proof that the CIA and mafia killed Kennedy is wanting as well. Why has the possibility of pro-Israeli forces playing a role in the assassination been often ignored? I hadn’t even paid much attention to what JFK’s position on Israel’s nukes were, taking at face value Noam Chomsky’s assessment that it was wishful thinking to believe JFK was much different from any other president. That was clearly a mistake. As I noted in my piece this summer, David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s founding prime minister, and JFK clashed about Israel’s nuclear weapons with Ben-Gurion stalling nuclear inspections Kennedy was demanding. JFK finally wrote the US “commitment to and support of Israel could be seriously jeopardized” by Israel’s pursuit of a clandestine nuclear weapons arsenal. Just then, Ben-Gurion resigned and Israel continued stalling the inspections. Then JFK was assassinated and Lyndon Johnson effectively dropped the matter. The letters are published in The Letters of John F. Kennedy, edited by Martin W. Sandler, who takes very seriously the possibility that Israel played some role. See his talk aired on C-SPAN beginning at 51:25 about Israel. It’s posted by IfAmericansKnew, “Author Martin Sandler says Mossad may have assassinated JFK”: The man who exposed Israel’s nuclear weapons arsenal, Mordechai Vanunu (aka John Crossman), said in 2004 that Kennedy was assassinated due to “pressure he exerted on Israel’s then head of government, David Ben-Gurion, to shed light on Dimona’s nuclear reactor.” (Quote at end of Reuter’s piece “Vanunu warns Israel of ‘second Chernobyl’ risk” and longer quote here, the comments were apparently originally made to Al-Wassat.) Former Congressman Paul Findley, who was driven out of office by the Israel lobby, in 1992 wrote the piece “In Kennedy Assassination, Anyone But Mossad is Fair Game for U.S. Media” for The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. (I didn’t know about this even thought I’d communicated with Findley over the years until recently, when I happened to bump into Delinda Hanley of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs and asked her about Israel’s nukes and the Kennedys.) Key to all this is may be James Angleton. Jefferson Morley, who writes at JFK Facts, wrote a book about him, The Ghost, see a talk on it. Morley notes that Angleton played a unique dual role at the CIA: He was chief of counterintelligence and he headed overseeing relations with Israel. He was also key in ensuring that Israel got nuclear weapons that Kennedy tried to stop. Morley doesn’t subscribe to — nor does he dismiss — the theory that Israel played a role in the JFK assassination, but he does note that Angleton was in an excellent position to manipulate Lee Harvey Oswald. And he notes that Angleton’s closeness to the Israelis can’t be doubted. They even built a monument to him in Jerusalem.
