Noel has diagrams of the relationships that I think are basically correct. Charles has others that go higher up, but I have already sketched my take on the assassination and I do not understand why this guy doesn't acknowledge as much. I have not been convinced of Israeli complicity in the death of JFK, even if Ben-Gurion and he were at odds over Israel's development of nuclear weapons. I have no problem with his believing what he likes, but he really ought to grant the same right to others. Incidentally, is the thread's founder able to post again?
James, the first post in this thread asked the question as to why the possibility of Israeli complicity in the assassination does not rate a mention on your website.
Bob's question was a good one, imo, and I added my voice to that question with a brief outline of JFK's battle with Ben-Gurion over Dimona and the curious way that all Israel's problems conveniently dissolved after Dealey Plaza (all that info comes from Cohen's "Israel and the Bomb" btw). In fact, there is a good case to be made that Israel effectively took control of US foreign policy after JFK's death, but that's an argument for another day.
In any case, the question which formed the theme of this thread has yet to be answered. To generalise it a little, why, given the weight of incriminating evidence, does Israel rarely feature as a potential suspect in the works of high profile assassination researchers? Why does it lie outside the spectrum of acceptable discourse? The evidence implicating Israel is there. Jack Ruby was strongly sympathetic to the cause of Israel, as were his colleagues like Mickey Cohen and Meyer Lansky. In the forties and fifties these guys arranged fund raisers for Israel. During the time he spent in California, Menachem Begin was often present at these functions.
Regarding your question about Bob, as far as I know the software glitch is yet to be fixed, but he's following the thread with interest.
