So during this prohibition, and being lied to by BG, he sells Hawks to Israel...
And if we find that Dimona was not producing weapons grade product... yet all the while BG lying about that capability with the French assisting them along the way
how again is JFK "PROHIBITING" anything?
That's not BS, it's the truth. JFK "forbade" nuclear weapons development by Israel might have been a little clearer. And yes, while forbidding Israel from developing nukes and being lied to by BG, he sells Hawks to Israel. Why? Because he was committed to Israel's security, as he said repeatedly, and he also wanted Israeli concessions on the Palestinian refugee problem, which of course he never got.
But he forbade Israel from developing nukes. On this he was more concerned with the security of the region overall, as any decent statesman would be, rather than the myopic focus on Israel demanded by Ben-Gurion. Also, he was probably shaken up by what happened in October 1962, when a nuclear confrontation looked possible. Some cite this as a turning point in his Presidency. You might as well stop spouting BS here David. You're looking sillier with every post.
