You just don't get it.
"Benefit" is a wholly subjective term.
Not in Israel's case. After JFK's death, US aid to Israel went from $40 million to $300 million in three years. The pressure on Dimona evaporated and construction went ahead full steam. LBJ covered for Israel when they killed 31 US Servicemen on the Liberty. If it had been any other ally it would have caused a major controversy. If it had been a hostile country it would have caused a war.
LBJ obviously owed Israel a major favor. It seems like a logical conclusion to me, although I know you don't agree Charles. It also seems rather obvious what that favor was.
