He said, ‘Oh, God, can you ever imagine what would happen to the country if Lyndon was president.’” (Jacqueline Kennedy, 1964)[1]Jacqueline Kennedy, Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy, Hyperion , 2011. “President Kennedy’s unfailing support of the cause of Zion Reborn has enshrined his memory in the hearts of our people everywhere,” wrote Los Angeles rabbi Max Nussbaum, president of the Zionist Organization of America and chairman of the American Zionist Council, in a book published in 1965 by the Theodor Herzl Foundation, under the title John F. Kennedy on Israel, Zionism and Jewish Issues (online here). The book contains a meager collection of the rare friendly words Kennedy spoke about Israel, mostly during his tenure as senator. Nussbaum also wrote: His staunch friendship for Israel, his concern for its security and for its survival as a beacon of democracy in the Middle East were natural outgrowth of his deep conviction that the rebirth of the State of Israel represents the rectification of the cruel wrong done to a people which suffered oppression and humiliation for two thousand years.[2]John F. Kennedy on Israel, Zionism and Jewish Issues, Theodor Herzl Foundation, 1965, on https://drive.google.com/file/d/19pqGMZjd4__mJ3oyIZu.../view. Still today, Zionist Jews keep telling of their reciprocated love affair with Kennedy. Here Kennedy is listed among “the five American presidents who loved the Jewish people,” the evidence being a photo of Golda Meir and Kennedy walking through the same door and two Jewish names in Kennedy’s government (Abraham Ribicoff and Arthur Goldberg), as well as the fact that, after Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, the Jewish people reciprocated his love for them by renaming the Synagogue Council of America’s annual peace award “The John F. Kennedy Peace Award,” making him the only U.S. President for whom a national Jewish award has been named. More “proofs” of Kennedy’s love for the Jews are given by Ron Kampeas on Haaretz. For instance: “In 1961, Kennedy pardoned Herman Greenspun, the Las Vegas Sun publisher who had been convicted in 1950 on charges related to gun running to the nascent Zionist state.” In return, Jews proved their love for Kennedy when, “The night of assassination, nightclub owner Jack Ruby attended a memorial service for the president at Temple Shearith Israel in Dallas” (incidentally, Ruby and Greenspun actually belonged to the same arms-smuggling network of “gangsters for Zion” headed by Meyer Lansky). Moreover the film of Kennedy’s execution “was made by a Jewish Kennedy supporter from Dallas named Abraham Zapruder.” Fancy that! Zapruder, whose office was in the Dal Tex building overlooking Dealey Plaza, loved Kennedy so much that his camera didn’t tremble when Kennedy’s head exploded. Look how shocked he is when interviewed on Dallas TV just two hours later. Zapruder (right) on Dallas TV two hours after shooting Kennedy’s death And imagine how he felt when, the next day, he sold his film for $150,000 (more than $1 million today) to Life magazine. A funny book just came out about Zapruder’s “chance encounter with evil”, “by sheer happenstance”, that “ended up destroying the rest of his life”, and caused so much suffering to his family too. Imagine: in 1999 they received $16 million after suing the U.S. government for seizing the film. But back to Ron Kampeas. He is the Washington bureau chief of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, so unless being an idiot was part of the job description, I assume he is taking the American Goy for a ride. And how are we to take the very title of the article, “John Kennedy: A Martyr Who Worried About the Spread of Nukes,” after reading the concluding paragraph: Kennedy wanted Americans to inspect the [Dimona] plant; Israel kept dodging the requests. In May 1963, Kennedy threatened to isolate Israel unless it let in the inspectors. Neither he nor Johnson ever made good on the threat, and today, Israel’s nuclear capabilities are its worst-kept secret. Perhaps Kampeas is an idiot after all. Informed Israelis, I reckon, now understand that the very purpose of Kennedy’s assassination was to prevent him from making good on the threat, and to replace him by Johnson, who “saw no Dimona, heard no Dimona, and spoke no Dimona,” as Stephen Green once wrote.[3]Stephen Green, Taking Sides: America’s Secret Relations With a Militant Israel, William Morrow & Co., 1984, p. 166. My best guess, though, is that Kampeas is being ironic, for he himself wrote about Johnson, in an article titled “Israel has had no better friend”: Historians generally regard Johnson as the president most uniformly friendly to Israel … LBJ soon abandoned pressure on Israel to come clean about the Dimona reactor. He increased arms sales to Israel and in 1968, after Israel’s primary supplier, France, imposed an embargo as a means of cultivating ties in the Arab world, the United States became Israel’s main supplier of weapons, notably launching the talks that would lead to the sale of Phantom fighter jets to Israel. … during the [1967 Six-Day] war, he ordered warships to within 50 miles of Syria’s coast as a warning to the Soviets not to interfere. In a speech in the war’s immediate aftermath, Johnson effectively nipped in the bud any speculation that the United States would pressure Israel to unilaterally give up the lands it had captured.[4]Ron Kampeas, “Lyndon Johnson: Israel Has Had No Better Friend,” Haaretz, May 9, 2018, on www.haaretz.com/ On reflexion, I think the reason why Zionists go out of their way to present Kennedy as a friend of Israel is to conceal the most significant reversal of foreign policy that occurred after his assassination, because that reversal identifies the greatest beneficiary of the assassination. As an example of this distortion of historical truth, University of Haifa professor Abraham Ben-Zvi claimed in an article published in Israel Affairs titled “Stumbling into an Alliance: John F. Kennedy and Israel,” that Kennedy, not Johnson, is responsible for America’s special relationship with Israel, because he “upgraded security guarantees without insisting any longer on a reciprocal Israeli concessions concerning Dimona.”[5]Abraham Ben-Zvi, “Stumbling into an Alliance: John F. Kennedy and Israel,” Israel Affairs 15, n°3 (2009), pp. 224-245, quoted in Jim DeBrossse, See No Evil: The JFK Assassination and the U.S. Media, TrineDay Press, 2018, p. 143. That is demonstrably untrue, and Ben-Zvi must know it. The master of such deception is Noam Chomsky, who repeatedly declared that JFK’s murder is not worth investigating, since it had no effect on U.S. policy and therefore couldn’t possibly be a coup. Here he is quoted by Jim DeBrosse in See No Evil: The JFK Assassination and the U.S. Media: There is a significant question about the JFK assassination: was it a high-level plot with policy implications? That’s quite important, and very much worth investigating. I’ve written about it extensively, reviewing all of the relevant documentation. The conclusion is clear, unusually clear for a historical event: no. / That leaves the question open as to who killed him: Oswald, Mafia, Cubans, jealous husbands, …? Personally, that question doesn’t interest me anymore than the latest killing in the black ghetto in Boston. But Chomsky is lying. For, as DeBrosse comments, “there was at least one clear policy change in the transition from the Kennedy to the Johnson administrations: U.S. willingness to supply offensive weapons to Israel and to look the other way as Israel secretly developed a nuclear arsenal in the tinder box of the Middle East.”[6]Jim DeBrossse, See No Evil: The JFK Assassination and the U.S. Media, TrineDay Press, 2018, p. 15. Chomsky knows this. But he doesn’t want Americans to know it, for if they knew it, their interest in the assassination of President Kennedy would get rekindled, and they would start wondering if Israel had anything to do with it. That is why it is important for Zionists—even for anti-Zionist Zionists, as Gilad Atzmon called people like Chomsky—to keep saying that Kennedy loved Israel and would never have done anything that undermined its security. After all, wasn’t his brother murdered because he loved Israel too?[7]Judy Maltz, “Bobby Kennedy’s Little-known Visit to the Holy Land That Made Him pro-Israel – and Got Him Killed,” The Forward, June 8, 2018, on www.haaretz.com/ Why Israel needed to subvert détente ORDER IT NOWNovember 22, 1963 was a coup d’état. That is the premise from which any discussion about JFK’s assassination should start. The coup was invisible at the time, because Johnson created an illusion of continuity. What changed dramatically only became public knowledge in the 1990s. In the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs in 2009, we read that, “Lyndon Johnson Was First to Align U.S. Policy With Israel’s Policies.” Up to Johnson’s presidency, no administration had been as completely pro-Israel and anti-Arab as his. … Not only was he personally a strong supporter of the Jewish state but he had a number of high officials, advisers and friends who shared his view. … These officials occupied such high offices as the ambassador to the United Nations, the head of the National Security Council and the number two post at the State Department. They were assiduous in putting forward Israel’s interests in such memoranda as “What We Have Done for Israel” and “New Things We Might Do in Israel” and “How We Have Helped Israel.” … So pervasive was the influence of Israel’s supporters during Johnson’s tenure that CIA Director Richard Helms believed there was no important U.S. secret affecting Israel that the Israeli government did not know about in this period.[8]Donald Neff, “Lyndon Johnson Was First to Align U.S. Policy With Israel’s Policies,” Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, November/December 1996, page 96, reposted in 2009: Although Dimona was probably the most urgent reason for replacing JFK with LBJ, as Michael Collins Piper has shown in his groundbreaking book Final Judgment, it was not the only one. The problem of Dimona cannot be separated from the wider geopolitical context of the Cold War. For the Soviets were as worried as Kennedy about nuclear proliferation.[9]On Kennedy’s plan for world nuclear disarmament, you want to read James Douglass’s JFK and the Unspeakable, while asking yourself why Douglass omits Kennedy’s most serious concern in 1963: Israel’s determination to become the first nuclear power in the Middle East. Against Piper’s theory, it has been argued that Kennedy had no power to stop Israel from getting the Bomb, and that there was therefore no necessity for Israel to kill him.[10]For example, Jim DeBrossse in See No Evil, op. cit., p. 150: “But could JFK have prevented a nuclear-armed Israel? Perhaps not, not when Israel had a decisive start at Dimona by 1963, and an iron-willed determination to see it through. But there can be little doubt that Kennedy, up to the moment of his death, intended to try.” That may be true: the real danger for Israel was if both the United States and the Soviet Union joined their effort to thwart Israel’s nuclear ambition. When Khrushchev’s minister of Foreign Affairs Andrei Gromyko visited the White House on October 3, 1963 to discuss ways of expanding the progress of the Limited Test Ban treaty, Kennedy tasked his Secretary of State Dean Rusk to bring up the issue of Israel’s secret nuke program with Gromyko in his evening meeting at the Soviet Embassy.[11]Michael Beschloss, The Crisis Years: Kennedy and Khrushchev, 1960-1963, HarperCollins, 1991, pp. 646-649. If Americans and Russians agreed to stop Israel from getting the Bomb, Israel would have had to comply. But worst than the risk of being deprived of their “Samson option”, the nascent cooperation between Kennedy and Khrushchev toward détente presented an even more distressing danger: their common support of Israel’s greatest foe, Egypt. This point is well made by author Salvador Astucia in Opium Lords: Israel, the Golden Triangle, and the Kennedy Assassination (2002, in pdf here)[12]I thank David Martin for recommending this book to me. Despite its lack of clear focus, it contains some valuable insights.: Both Kennedy and Khrushchev had stronger ties with Egyptian President Nasser than with Israel. Their befriending of Nasser, a living icon symbolizing Arab unity, was a signal to Israel that both superpowers had more interest in the Arab world than in Israel’s continued existence as a Jewish homeland, let alone its expansion into neighboring Arab territories.[13]Salvador Astucia, Opium Lords: Israel, the Golden Triangle, and the Kennedy Assassination, Dsharpwriter, 2002, p. 11. “In short,” writes Astucia, “détente would mark the beginning of the end for Israel as a world power because neither superpower had a strategic interest in Israel.”[14]Astucia, Opium Lords, op. cit., p. 5. What was urgently needed was to transform Egypt into a ground for confrontation rather than rapprochement. Astucia published his book in 2002, and lacked hindsight on 9/11 to draw the parallel that can now be drawn between President Kennedy’s assassination and the false flag attacks of September 11th, 2001. The parallel should be clear to those who now understand that 9/11 was both a massive psychological operation and a foreign policy coup aimed at drawing the U.S. on the side of Israel against its Arab enemies (see my previous Unz Review article). As I wrote for the film 9/11 and Israel’s Great Game: “In 2001, Israel’s reputation had fallen to its lowest level in international public opinion. Condemnations were voiced from all sides against its apartheid and colonization policies, and its systematic war against Palestinian leadership structures. The attacks of 9/11 instantly reversed this trend. Americans experienced the attacks as an act of hatred on the part of the Arab world, and thus felt immediate sympathy for Israel. … Overnight, after the 9/11 attacks, Western opinion had amalgamated the Arab world and the Palestinian resistance with Islamic terrorism.” ORDER IT NOWIn 1963, the situation was comparable. Israel was getting strong condemnations from world leaders, and heavy pressure from Kennedy’s administration. In his early months at the White House, Kennedy had committed himself to President Gamal Abdel Nasser and other Arab and African heads of State to support U.N. Resolution 194 for the right of return of Palestinian refugees. In the fall of 1962, Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion had reacted to Kennedy’s insistent pressure with a letter to be circulated among Jewish-American leaders, in which he stated: “Israel will regard this plan as a more serious danger to her existence than all the threats of the Arab dictators and Kings, than all the Arab armies, than all of Nasser’s missiles and his Soviet MIGs. … Israel will fight against this implementation down to the last man.”[15]Quoted in George and Douglas Ball, The Passionate Attachment: America’s Involvement With Israel, 1947 to the Present, W.W. Norton & Co., 1992, p. 51. On November 20, 1963, Kennedy’s delegation to the U… truncated (64,148 more characters in archive)
