<\/div>\nMike Whitney (MW)<\/strong>: Did Israel Kill JFK?<\/em><\/p>\n Was Israel involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy? (Is there any hard evidence or is it mostly conjecture?). And if Israel was involved, then what was the alleged motive?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Ron Unz (RU):\u00a0<\/strong>Although there exists no smoking gun proof implicating Israel and its Mossad in the JFK Assassination,\u00a0there is an enormous mass of circumstantial evidence that they played a central role in the conspiracy, and they certainly stood very high with regard to means, motive, and opportunity.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Moreover, no other organization has such a remarkably long and bold record of very high-profile political assassinations, with many of the targets having been important Western leaders, even including American presidents.<\/span><\/p>\n Yet as I emphasized in one of my earliest 2018 articles<\/a> on the subject, for more than thirty years after JFK\u2019s death almost no one had ever suggested any possible Israeli involvement.<\/span><\/p>\n These new disclosures about the bitter, hidden political struggle between the Kennedy Administration and the Israeli government over the latter\u2019s secret nuclear weapons development program caught the attention of Michael Collins Piper<\/a>, a longtime journalist at The Spotlight<\/em><\/a>, and he soon began exploring the possible connection to the Kennedy\u2019s subsequent assassination.<\/span><\/p>\n Pursuing that lead, Piper quickly amassed a great deal of circumstantial evidence suggesting that the Israeli Mossad together with its American collaborators had probably played a central role in the 1963 killing in Dallas, evidence that previous assassination researchers had missed or perhaps deliberately ignored. For example, Green\u2019s very mainstream 1984 book had noted:<\/span><\/p>\n Perhaps the most significant development of 1963 for the Israeli nuclear weapons program, however, occurred on November 22 on a plane flying from Dallas to Washington, D.C., as Lyndon Baines Johnson was sworn in as the 36th President of the United States, following the assassination of John F. Kennedy.<\/span><\/p>\n Within a few months Piper had produced the manuscript for the first edition of Final Judgment<\/em><\/a>, his seminal work presenting and documenting the Piper Hypothesis, by far the most controversial and explosive analysis of one of the most infamous world events of the 20th\u00a0century.<\/span><\/p>\n As I began reading some of the most popular and important books in the Kennedy assassination genre by leading researchers such as David Talbot, James W. Douglass, and Roger Stone, I noticed that they carefully excluded any mention of Piper\u2019s work, apparently regarding it as just too radioactive to even acknowledge. Similarly, Piper\u2019s close friendship with attorney Mark Lane, the founding father of JFK assassination conspiracy studies, may have severely clouded the latter\u2019s treatment in the movement that he himself had done so much to create.<\/span><\/p>\n For those interested in reading Piper\u2019s very lengthy analysis, the 2005 edition of his seminal work is available on this website in convenient HTML format<\/a>.<\/p>\n This edition actually incorporates several much shorter works, originally published separately. One of these, consisting of an extended Q&A, describes the genesis of the idea and answers numerous questions surrounding it, and for some readers might represent a better starting point. See this<\/a>.<\/p>\n One of the tiny handful of later writers willing to embrace and promote the Piper Hypothesis has been Laurent Guy\u00e9not, a leading French conspiracy-researcher. Although I might not necessarily endorse every particular element, I would strongly recommend his 2019 book The Unspoken Kennedy Truth<\/em><\/a> as the best single exposition of the Israel\/Mossad case for the JFK Assassination. <\/strong>This paperback summarizes all the important information and is short enough that it can easily be read in just a day or two. His 2018 article on the same subject covers the same information in much more abbreviated form:\u00a0Did Israel Kill the Kennedys?<\/a><\/p>\n Guy\u00e9not also presented this same controversial material in the form of a 2022 documentary available on YouTube. Although perhaps too hagiographic, \u201cIsrael and the Assassinations of the Kennedy Brothers\u201d<\/a> likewise constitutes the best video introduction to that subject.<\/p>\n
