Mossad And The JFK Assassination—Michael Collins Piper, from Final Judgment

“Israel need not apologize for the assassination or destruction of those who seek to destroy it. The first order of business for any country is the protection of its people.” David Ben Gurion — quoted in Washington Jewish Week, October 9, 1997

In March, 1992, Illinois Representative Paul Findley said in The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, ʺIt is interesting ‐ but not surprising ‐ to note that in all the words written and uttered about the Kennedy assassination, Israelʹs intelligence agency, the Mossad, has never been mentioned.ʺ

ʺIsraelʹs Mossad was a primary (and critical) behind the scenes player in the conspiracy that ended the life of JFK. Through its own vast resources and through its international contacts in the intelligence community and in organized crime, Israel had the means, it had the opportunity, and it had the motive to play a major frontline role in the crime of the century ‐ and it did.ʺ

Their motive? Israelʹs much touted Prime Minister David Ben‐Gurion, who ruled that country from its inception in 1948 until he resigned on June 16, 1963, was so enraged at John F. Kennedy for not allowing Israel to become a nuclear power that, Collins asserts, in his final days in office he commanded the Mossad to become involved in a plot to kill Americaʹs president.

Piper writes, ʺBen‐Gurion had devoted a lifetime creating a Jewish State and guiding it into the world arena. And, in Ben‐Gurionʹs eyes, John F. Kennedy was an enemy of the Jewish people and his beloved state of Israel.ʺ He continues, ʺThe ʹnuclear optionʹ was not only at the very core of Ben‐Gurionʹs personal world view, but the very foundation of Israelʹs national security policy.ʺ….

Reuven Pedatzer, in a review of Avner Cohenʹs Israel and the Bomb, in the Israeli Newspaper Haʹaretz on February 5, 1999 wrote, ʺThe murder of American president John F. Kennedy brought to an abrupt end the massive pressure being applied by the U.S. administration on the government of Israel to discontinue their nuclear program.ʺ

He continues, ʺKennedy made it quite clear to the Israeli Prime Minister that he would not under any circumstances agree to Israel becoming a nuclear state.ʺ Pedatzer concludes, ʺHad Kennedy remained alive, it is doubtful whether Israel would today have a nuclear option,ʺ and that, ʺBen‐Gurionʹs decision to resign in 1963 was taken to a large extent against the background of the tremendous pressure that Kennedy was applying on him concerning the nuclear issue.ʺ
