Name the names and cite the moves made to kill Kennedy by his Israeli conspiracy.
Kennedy was killed because Israel considered his firm opposition to the Dimona project an existential threat. Ben-Gurion indicated this in his correspondence with Kennedy in 1963. Also, Kennedy insisted that military aid to Israel be tied to concessions in regard to the Palestinians. He bargained tough and wouldn't give any ground. His mistrust of Israel may have been fuelled by two incidents which occurred just before his inauguration, although this is only my opinion. They were the attempt by the Israel Lobby to purchase US Middle East policy lock, stock and barrel in return for funding prior to the 1960 election and the revelation in December 1960 that the Dimona project was more advanced than previously thought. Angleton, as head of the Israel desk at the CIA and a strong supporter of the Jewish state, is generally considered responsible for concealing this information from other US institutions.
It's clear that Israeli wasn't going to get the nuclear deterrent had Kennedy remained President and I think they were pretty sure he would win in '64.
When Johnson took over they not only got Dimona but a sevenfold increase in funding over the next three years, nearly all of it military, with no strings whatsoever. Johnson also shamefully covered for them when the Liberty was attacked by Israel in 1967. Johnson had proven his loyalty to Israel prior to November 1963 and upon becoming President he promptly surrounded himself with advisors who were staunchly Zionist. There were many other indications of Johnson's loyalty to Israel (and a healthy dose of gratitude, imo) such as Eshkol's visit to the WH in June 1964, which was the first official visit by an Israeli Prime Minister to the White House.
That's the bones of it, insofar as motive is concerned. I'm convinced that Israel was the only one of all the suspects who have been mentioned as possible sponsors who made a tangible gain from Kennedy's death. Indeed, a windfall gain. From nothing to everything.
As for naming other names, like shooters or the leaders of the cells and higher ups in the conspiracy, I can't name any. I do know that Israel had many powerful staunch allies in the media and institutions like Paley, Sarnoff and JEH, to name just a few. I know that Yitzhak Shamir befrended Mickey Cohen, Lansky and other powerful Jewish underworld figures while he was on the run in the US in the early 1950's. I know Lansky was a staunch supporter of Israel and fell in love with the country after his first visit there in 1962. I know Lansky was tied to LBJ through mutual business associates like Ed Levinson. And I know Jack Ruby was a staunch supporter of Israel and helped ship arms to the country after WW2.
I also know that Israel has a covert assassination policy dating as far back as 1948 and possibly beyond, when they murdered Folke Bernadotte (and his wife) in a motorcade in Jerusalem in 1948. He had been unanimously elected as the first ever UN mediator and was in Israel to mediate on their dispute with the Palestinians. I also know, and so do you, that Israel routinely murders humanitarian and aid workers with impunity because the US has protected them in the UN for many years.
In conclusion, I believe it highly plausible that Israel had the necessary reach and influence, through a complex network of powerful sayanim, to orchestrate Dealey Plaza and, with a loyal friend in the White House, to have carried out an effective coverup.
Now that I have done my best to answer your question will you do me the same courtesy and answer my (earlier) question? Why is Piper's book so silly?
