Israel and the Assassination of JFK

[John Simkin]

Article in today's Express in India.

Jerusalem, July 26: In a startling accusation, Israeli nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu has said that Jerusalem was behind the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy, who was exerting pressure on the then Jewish head of the state to shed light on the Dimona nuclear plant.

In defiance of a ban on talking to media and meeting with foreigners, Vanunu is said to have made the accusation in an interview to London-based al-Hayat newspaper.

As per the interview published in newspaper's Arabic supplement al-Wassat on Sunday, Vanunu said according to "near-certain indications", Kennedy was assassinated due to "pressure he exerted on then head of government, David ben-Gurion, to shed light on Dimona's nuclear reactor".

"We do not know which irresponsible Israeli Prime Minister will take office and decide to use nuclear weapons in the struggle against neighbouring Arab countries," he is quoted to have said, adding "what has already been exposed about the weapons Israel is holding can destroy the region and kill millions."

The whistleblower, who was released in April after 18 years of imprisonment on charges of treason for divulging state secrets, also said that the reactor in Dimona, could become a second "Chernobyl", local media reported.

He said an earthquake could cause fissures to the core and that would cause a massive radiation leak threatening millions.

When the real reason for eliminating JFK is known, it will be something of this magnitude. You don't take out a President unless there is some real , big reason. I am not saying it is this one. Just that it was as big.

There may well have been a range of reasons for killing JFK.

But, in my opinion, only one network was capable of carrying out the hit, spinning a cover story and orchestrating a cover-up that has lasted for decades. The Zionist network alone fits the bill.

Israel's support network had motive.

It had the contacts and the means.

It could spin a cover story and keep it going for decades.

It could also help weave silly conspiracy theories that helped distract the punters and discredit the idea of a conspiracy (anyone remember the Gemstone File?)

On the left, it could deliver key left gatekeepers such as IF Stone and Chomsky to uphold the official story with improbable and very out-of-character argumentation. More recently, it has given us Gerald Posner.

It has also, over the years, systematically attacked Kennedy's reputation and record, suggesting that even if JFK was assassinated, the policy consequences were not significant.

It was also in a position, nearly five years after the Dallas murder, to murder RFK, complete with cover story, patsy and extended cover-up.

And of course, it didn't stop work in 1968...

Incidentally, there's a footnote to this story about Vanunu that I noted selsewhere in the forum but repetition will do no harm.

On an email newsletter, I came across correspondence from Israel Shamir that indicates he gave Vanunu a copy of Final Judgment by Michael Collins Piper, and Vanunu subsequently became convinced of Piper's thesis. In other words, Vanunu should not be taken as an indepndent source on the claim of Israel's involvement in the JFK assassination.

Speaking of the heroic winner of the Right Livelihood Award - when WILL Vanunu's freedom to travel and speak freely be restored?

His continuing involuntary detention in a country where he no longer - very understandably - feels at home a disgrace and makes a mockery of Israel's pretensions as a free society based on the rule of law.

Apparently the basis for this detention is a regulation dating from the time of the British mandate.
