I believe they are capable these days of removing any world leader, in the West at least, whenever they want, and this may be why so many western leaders do not seem keen to upset Israel. Tony Blair certainly seems to have had more than his fair share of near misses in aircraft since becoming UK special envoy to Israel.

Zionists are the biggest threat to mankind above anything else, and if we don’t stop them somehow, they will eventually make us all pay.

If you look slightly beneath the veneer of ‘accepted facts’ surrounding the assassination, you find other examples of hubristic symbolism. Here’s my favorite, partly sourced from Avner Cohen’s 1998 book “Israel and the bomb”.

Soon after becoming President, JFK discovered that Israel had a secret nuclear facility at Dimona which was well on the way to nuclear weapons capability. After gentle diplomatic pressure failed, JFK began a harsh exchange of correspondence with Israel PM Ben-Gurion (which some, including me, suggest) led to his resignation in June ’63.

Kennedy kept up the pressure for inspections on Ben-Gurion’s successor Levi Eshkol but was persistently and almost frantically fobbed off with a series of lame excuses. The ground rules for the inspection were often cited by Israel as a reason for the gridlock in negotiations.

JFK is killed on 22 November 1963. Then, a mere 13 days after Kennedy’s death (surprise surprise) Israel suddenly invites to US to ‘inspect’ the Dimona facility.

Frankly I’m amazed they were able to hold themselves back for 13 days.
